Why not join the other 44 SMACNA-BC Members at SMACNA’s 75th Annual Convention? This is SMACNA’s premier event known for blending exceptional education with world-class networking and social events—and this year is no different as we journey to the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina October 14-17, 2018.
The opening reception on Sunday evening takes place on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Midway Museum, one of the longest- serving and most famous aircraft carriers in U.S. Naval history. This event promises to be a breath-taking, life-long memory that you and your family won’t soon forget.
One of the highlights of this year’s convention is that Craig Benson of Paramount Sheet Metal is being inducted into the SMACNA College of Fellows. If you are attending, please do not miss this very prestigious event.
The last day of the conference marks the beginning of the 75th Anniversary year for SMACNA, so join us for the big celebration, which includes multi-platinum recording artist Andy Grammer. For registration information please email / call the SMACNA-BC office.

SMACNA-BC New Office – November 2018
The SMACNA-BC Board of Directors has decided to stop leasing office space for the SMACNA-BC office and have purchased a brand new space at City Centre 2 – #705 9639 137A Street, Surrey, BC, V3T 4J1.
We have secured the design team of Wensley Architecture Ltd., Williams Engineering Canada, and Colwin Electrical Group to design the 1,440-square-foot-office space. City Centre 2 (CC2) is directly across the street from Surrey Memorial Hospital, a six-minute walk to the skytrain station, and most importantly, across the street from Starbucks.
We have an agreement with our current landlord for a month- to-month rental agreement (our lease expires August 30). With the application for permit being submitted on July 12 and the City of Surrey advising that approval for permit may take 12 to 13 weeks, we are truly optimistic of moving into the new premises by hopefully the end of November at the earliest.
The base building HVAC was performed by SMACNA-BC Member, Ridge Sheet Metal Co. I am sure because of this bit of gratis advertising, that they will be able to offer “special pricing” to complete the HVAC in our suite.
