Expanding OHBA's training capacity is a key component of our new plan for 2024/25. That is why OHBA increased its current invesment in EnerQuality Corporation to become the sole shareholder so we could expand its service capacity to include technical and business training to the residential construction sector in Ontario. The Ontario Home Builders' Association's strategic investment in EnerQuality to serve as our external training hub will strengthen our ability to deliver the training our members need. We are excited about the future head for both OHBA and our industry. I can't wait to see more great things coming out of EnerQuality to help builders and renovators do even better.
