What is The Construction Life? The Construction Life is a daily routine of waking up at 5am, working out, showering, preparing lunch, sending off the family, driving to the construction site, organizing and preparing for the day's work, building, having fun on the job, wrapping up at the end of the day, returning home, spending time with the family, and preparing for the next day. It's a lifestyle that involves a constant commitment to hard work and a love for what you do, and it's never about settling for "good enough." The Construction Life is about striving for excellence every day.

In this frustrating yet important episode of The Construction Life Podcast , Marc Fraser of Craigmhor Construction returns to share his nightmare experience trying to get an apprentice registered for Red Seal certification —a process that should be straightforward but instead is buried in government inefficiency . We get into: 🔹 The endless hoops to jump through with the Ministry of Labour and why government organizations refuse to communicate. 🔹 Skilled Trades Ontario’s role in gatekeeping and making it even harder for apprentices to get certified. 🔹 The shocking removal of grants and financial assistance —leaving businesses to fend for themselves. 🔹 Two months in and still not completed —how bureaucracy is actively discouraging people from entering the trades. 🔹 Why most people would have quit by now —and how Marc’s persistence proves just how broken the system is. 🔹 Real solutions the government won’t listen to —because those making the rules have never worked a day in the trades. Marc’s honest and unfiltered take exposes the flaws in the apprenticeship system and raises the question: Why is the government making it harder to fill skilled trade positions when we’re already facing a shortage? 🎧 Tune in for a must-hear conversation that every tradesperson and business owner needs to hear. 📸 Follow Craigmhor Construction 📧 Email Marc Fraser: marc@craigmhor.ca IG @craigmhor_construction #TheConstructionLife #SkilledTradesCrisis #RedSealNightmare #GovernmentInefficiency #ApprenticeshipRoadblocks #TradesMatter 🚧🏗️🔥 This show is brought to you by.
