Areas where no apprenticeships are available through the Ministry of Skills Development, such as Welding and Surface Maintenance, will not be included in the ratio calculation. If the Worker Health Safety Advisor position is not tilled from within the Maintenance department then it will not be included in the apprenticeship ratio calculation.

It is understood and agreed that the apprenticeship ratios outlined in this letter of agreement re Apprenticeship Ratios will not be changed during the term of this agreement.
