We are absolutely elated by the success of our inaugural cohort, consisting of eight clients who have graduated from LiUNA’s Construction Skills Program today!
This journey has been an incredible one for our clients. It commenced with four weeks of dedicated mentoring, followed by an intensive eight-week skills training program at the LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre. Our clients have demonstrated remarkable perseverance and unwavering commitment in their pursuit of meaningful careers within the skilled trades industry. As they embark on their new vocations, a brighter future awaits them. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre for their exceptional contributions. To our valued clients, here at the Oaks Revitalization Association (ORA), we are immensely proud of your achievements! Congratulations are in order!

The possibility of Donald Trump imposing tariffs on Canada, while understandably shocking to the Canadian psyche and incredibly damaging to our economy, must be met with a level-headed and resolute response. As difficult as this scenario may be, Canadians must acknowledge that America, like any sovereign nation, has the right to impose tariffs as it sees fit. One of the fundamental tenets of our teachings at ORA-STDP is that the world is not fair, and one should never expect it to be so. Expecting fairness is a fool’s errand; instead, we must focus on how we adapt, innovate, and overcome adversity.
At the Oaks Revitalization Association (ORA), we are committed to ensuring that every individual who enters our program is fully prepared for success. As part of this commitment, our latest cohort had the opportunity to meet with the Assistant Director of LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre for an in-depth briefing on their upcoming training and the benefits of being part of a unionized workforce.
The journey to an inspiring and successful future starts with a single decision. Imagine a career where honour, courage, and service define your everyday life.

In an era where socio-economic challenges are increasingly prevalent, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) stand as a beacon of opportunity for young Canadians seeking a path to upward mobility.
