Presentation Part 2

Posted on August 31, 2011 by admin

Tomorrow is the big day.  We have worked hard with our partners at Jump on Board, CFDC, TRADES, and Educacentre amongst many others to put together a proposal that got us to the presentation stage of the ELMS-004 RFP with regards to the new employment program of BC that the Province of BC’s Ministry of Social Development is looking to implement.

Together with Splashmedia, we have put together what we think is a terrific presentation utilizing presentation slides, video, 3d renderings and some display banners.  We really feel the people at Splashmedia really out did themselves considering the short time frame we had to put it all together.  Mike and his Team did a great job.

Now it is up to our presentation Team pull it all together and present the information in an engaging and exciting way.  Kopar will be presenting with our major subcontractor in the proposal – Jump on Board.  We hope to answer all the questions and really put the finishing touches on what has been a grueling process to complete all the areas of the proposal.

Wish us luck!

A Special Ceremony

Posted on July 19, 2011 by admin

It was an important day in the history of Kopar and in some young people’s lives.

Today Kopar Administration in Prince George, BC was proud and honoured to serve as the location where 3 individuals had their swearing in ceremony into the Canadian Forces.  For the first time the Canadian Forces held a ceremony for the the new recruits and their friends and family in the Kopar office.

Kopar Administration is pleased to provide a link to the Canadian Forces Recruitment for the people of the North.  This ceremony hopefully will become the first of many as more and more individuals from the north take advantage of the training opportunities provided by the Canadian Military.

We salute these brave individuals who have taken a large step in their futures and we thank them, as we do all service men and women, for all that they do at home and abroad.

Good News for Apprenticeships in Alberta!

Posted on February 4, 2011 by admin

If you are wanting to get in to an apprenticeship trade in Alberta, or if you are an employer and needing more labour than you currently have or are worried about what the future may bring for skilled trades people, then this latest news is certainly going to bring a smile to your face.

The Province of Alberta has announced a change to their apprenticeship rules which can benefit apprentices in many areas.  Journeypersons in several trades can now train up to 2 apprentices.  This will undoubtedly open many doors to new apprentices and help alleviate costs to employers.  As well, this will most certainly help with a potential skills shortage in the coming years, by allowing more people to be involved in apprenticeship training.

The 37 trades that are affected by this change, which took place on January 31, 2011 are:

  • Agricultural equipment technician
  • Appliance service technician
  • Automotive service technician
  • Baker
  • Boilermaker
  • Bricklayer
  • Cabinetmaker
  • Carpenter
  • Communication technician
  • Concrete Finisher
  • Cook
  • Crane And hoisting equipment operator
  • Electric motor systems technician
  • Electrician
  • Elevator constructor
  • Floorcovering installer
  • Gasfitter
  • Glazier
  • Heavy equipment technician
  • Instrument technician
  • Insulator
  • Ironworker
  • Lather interior systems mechanic
  • Machinist
  • Millwright
  • Motorcycle mechanic
  • Plumber
  • Power system electrician
  • Powerline technician
  • Refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic
  • Roofer
  • Sheet metal worker
  • Sprinkler systems installer
  • Steamfitter pipefitter
  • Structural steel And plate fitter
  • Tilesetter
  • Transport refrigeration technician

We are MOVING!!

Posted on December 2, 2010 by admin

Our office in beautiful Smithers is moving!  Not the whole company.  Although many staff members will probably be envious of our new office space in Smithers.

We are not moving too far away, just down and around a few blocks.  But we are in a much nicer location with more space and more room to grow and accommodate our clients!

Our new office will can be found at:
3911 Alfred Ave.

Our mailing address is still the same and our phone number and fax number will also remain the same.

All that is changing is our whereabouts.

However, the month of December is going to be a bit of a mess while we move from one office to the other and try and get all set up in our location.  Please bear with us during the changeover.  It will all be over soon – we hope!!  And for the better!  Just wait and see.
