About Manitoba Building Trades
Manitoba Building Trades (MBT) represents the common goals of over 8,000 construction and trades professionals across our 12 member unions. We promote the interests of our member unions and engage in project partnerships to deliver safe, skilled and highly productive labour.
MBT has a long, active history which began as the Winnipeg Building Trades Council on March 9, 1909. In 1943, the council began province-wide representation and it was renamed the Winnipeg and Vicinity Building Trades Council. In 1995, the Manitoba Building and Construction Trades Council was adopted. Today, we’re simply known as MBT.
