On November 18, 1898, 17 plumbers from Vancouver were awarded a charter and became the founding members of the United Association of Plumbing, Gasfitters, Steamfitters and Steamfitter Helpers, Local 170.
We are proud to carry on a 127-year tradition of protecting our craft, fighting for our members and building British Columbia and the Yukon. Congratulations to all members for being a part of this historic organization!
Thanks to the original members of the Local!
