College of Trades to be discussed at info meetings

The director of compliance and enforcement for Ontario’s new College of Trades will be on hand to answer questions at two upcoming information evenings in Toronto, Ont.

Bob Onyschuk will discuss the college’s mandate and its plans to deal with unlicensed tradespeople.

The event, organized by the Collision Industry Information Assistance group in Ontario, will also feature discussions on the new CASIS Vehicle Security Professional program and an update on health and safety aspects of hoist use.

The first event will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Best Kept Secret Banquet Centre on Eugene Street (Lawrence & Dufferin area).

A second event will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Howard Johnson Hotel on Metropolitan Road (401 and Warden area).

A $10 admission fee helps pay for the room rental and light refreshments. Organizers say attendees would have the opportunity to ask questions and have comments heard.

The series of information events is being sponsored by Standard Auto Wreckers, Classic Bumper & Fender, and iCoat.
