Every year on March 11, communities around the world recognize World Plumbing Day to celebrate the critical role that plumbing plays in our daily lives. From delivering clean water to protecting public health, plumbing is essential—but it’s so much more.
The theme for 2025, “Plumbing is More,” highlights how plumbing supports economies, improves sustainability, and helps build stronger, healthier communities. While often taken for granted, plumbing is behind many of the conveniences and protections people rely on every day.
This year, the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCAC) and the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating (CIPH) have brought Canada’s plumbing supply chain together – contractors, manufactures, wholesalers, and manufacturers agents – to help Canadians celebrate #PlumbingIsMore on #WorldPlumbingDay:
More Than a Job — The plumbing industry plays a direct role in addressing water quality and conservation, improving lives, and preventing diseases. This is why plumbing is such a compelling career choice, because of the opportunities to make a lasting impact.
More Than Pipes and Fixtures — A well-functioning plumbing system also supports families. Every dollar invested in water and sanitation also returns more in economic benefits. Skilled trades and plumbing engineers are problem-solvers, ensuring that water systems meet the needs of Canadians.
More Than Conservation — Plumbing professionals are working hard to advance sustainability through new technologies and smarter water management that not only conserve natural resources but also ensure safe water access for future generations.
