January 16 @ 3:00 pm – January 18 @ 5:00 pm

Students from across Canada will come together to learn about the future of the mechanical contracting industry, technological advancements, career choices, as well as an opportunity to collaborate with fellow attendees in a mini competition.

What is Student Chapter?
A Student Chapter is a partnership between an MCA and a local post-secondary institution to showcase the mechanical contracting industry to students. Depending on the school and the programs that it offers, chapter members are generally students enrolled in a mechanical program whether as a technologist or an engineer. Others could be obtaining construction management degrees or diplomas. Many chapters also combine students from other faculties such as civil engineering.
