It’s not always sunshine and rainbows, but sometimes working at heights grants Local 793 members unforgettable views. Local 793 members work a little lighter with this inspiring view as construction continues on Ottawa’s extensive Parliament Hill Centre Block Rehabilitation Project. Something to lighten these chilly months and a reminder of what weather is just around the corner. Thank you Brother Frans Vereyken for the photo!
