No problem, Scotty! Maybe ask about Vernon in that section of the forums... you'll get responses from people who reside there. I've never lived in Vernon, so can't offer solid factual information.

Maybe someone will have a yellow pages (phone book) listings of some sheet metal companies in Vernon that they can provide for you here too.

Hi Scotty

I would guess that sheet metal is a good trade to be in, after all nearly every home has sheet metal duct work for the forced air heating/cooling systems and there never seems to be a shortage of new homes being built or old ones undergoing renos with new furnaces and ducting.
Of course i don't know about qualifications and whether you would need to take any further tests/exams but i am sure that a good sheet metal worker should be able to pick up work here no problem.

I think that that's supposed to be ThompsonOkanaganJobShop.ca. Oh, nevermind, JobSite works, too. Well, I don't know, Scotty. It works for me. Perhaps check your spelling (that's a lot of letters to keep straight) or just click this:ThompsonOkanaganJobShop.ca.
