On Monday, Melaina stopped by the hall in Kamloops and Business Manager, Jim Bicknell, presented Melaina with her Red Seal Certificates.

The Red Seal certification is crucial for union electricians in IBEW 993 as it serves as a recognized standard of excellence across Canada, ensuring that the electrician has met the national competency requirements in their trade. Holding a Red Seal signifies that the electrician possesses the skills and knowledge necessary to perform their work to the highest standards of safety and efficiency, which is vital in the demanding and technically complex field of electrical work. For members of IBEW 993, the Red Seal enhances job mobility, employability, and professional credibility, providing opportunities to work across provinces without the need for further certification. This certification not only elevates the individual electrician's career prospects but also strengthens the overall reputation and quality of the workforce within the union.
