NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2025  /PRNewswire/ — In the heart of New York City, under the towering skyline and amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Trice Contracting Inc. made its mark on the community with the launch of their highly anticipated “Raising Roofs, Building Trust“ event. This event wasn’t just about showcasing their top-notch roofing services but also about solidifying Trice Contracting’s commitment to the Big Apple’s residents – ensuring their homes and businesses are protected from the harsh elements, with expert care and reliability.

Event Overview:

It was a cool, crisp Saturday morning when Trice Contracting Inc. rolled out the red carpet at their flagship event at a local community center in Manhattan. A large banner hung across the entrance: “Protect Your Home, Protect Your Investment.”

Local residents, small business owners, and even some of New York’s top architects gathered, eager to learn more about roofing services that had been making waves across the city.

The event kicked off with a welcome speech from Mohammed Rafiq Trice, the company’s founder and CEO, who’s known for his down-to-earth approach and unwavering passion for quality.

“We’ve been serving New York for over a decade, but this event marks a new chapter for us,” Rafiq said. “We want to not only fix roofs but build lasting relationships with the people we serve. The trust we build today will protect the homes of New Yorkers for generations to come.”

Key Highlights of the Event:

1. Live Roofing Demonstrations:
   One of the most popular segments of the event was the live roofing demonstration. A mock-up of a Brooklyn brownstone, complete with an aging roof, was set up for visitors to observe. Trice’s skilled roofers worked together to replace damaged shingles, install new materials, and showcase the advanced tools and techniques that made them stand out from competitors.

   “It’s one thing to hear about quality roofing,” said Sarah Jacobs, a local homeowner who attended the demonstration. “But to see it done right in front of you, with all the care and expertise—it’s impressive.”

2. Roofing Consultation Clinics:
   Throughout the day, Trice offered free roofing consultations. New Yorkers lined up to have their roofs inspected by professionals, get advice on maintenance, and receive estimates for repairs or upgrades. From high-rise apartments to quaint brownstones, Trice’s roofing experts assessed each structure individually, helping residents understand what their roof needed to stay safe and sound.

   “I had no idea how important it is to keep track of small issues before they become major problems,” said Gary, a small business owner from Queens. “The consultation was eye-opening, and I feel so much more confident in keeping my business and my family safe.”

3. Eco-Friendly Roofing Focus:
   As a city renowned for innovation and sustainability, the event featured a spotlight on green roofing solutions. Trice Contracting highlighted eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient installations, and environmentally conscious disposal practices. Visitors learned about cool roofs that reflect sunlight and reduce the urban heat island effect—a growing concern in NYC.

   “We believe in not just improving roofs but improving the environment,” said Luis Giovanni, Trice’s head of customer relations. “By offering energy-efficient solutions, we can reduce energy bills, increase roof longevity, and contribute to a cleaner New York.”

4. Community Outreach and Raffle:
   The event wasn’t all about business. Trice Contracting partnered with local nonprofits, providing free roof replacements for families in need and donating a portion of event proceeds to support affordable housing projects. To further celebrate community spirit, Trice hosted a raffle where one lucky attendee would win a complete roof replacement for their home.

   The winner, 65-year-old Edith, a retired teacher from the Bronx, was overwhelmed with gratitude. “I never thought I’d win, but now I can finally fix the leaks that have been a constant worry. This means more to me than I can express.”

5. Networking and Local Business Support:
   Trice made sure that the event supported local businesses, too. Food trucks offering New York-style pizza, artisanal coffee, and pastries were stationed outside, giving attendees a taste of the city’s best eats. It wasn’t just about roofing—it was about connecting with the community.

Closing Remarks:
As the sun set behind the iconic skyline, the event wrapped up with a closing speech by Mohammed Rafiq Trice. “We’re not just about putting roofs over heads. We’re about creating a lasting relationship that helps build and protect the very foundation of our communities. Today, we’ve built more than roofs – we’ve built trust.”

With new relationships forged, roof consultations booked, and hearts full of appreciation, the “Raising Roofs, Building Trust“ event marked a milestone in Trice Contracting’s commitment to New York.

TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2025 /CNW/ – Unifor is sounding the alarm after today’s announcement that Canada will remove retaliatory tariffs on CUSMA-covered U.S. goods, warning that the move undermines Canadian workers and weakens Canada’s bargaining position in an escalating trade war.

“Donald Trump’s attacks on Canada’s auto, steel, aluminum and forestry sectors are hitting workers in real time,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “Walking back counter-tariffs is not an olive branch—it’s an open invitation for more U.S. aggression. It sends the wrong signal at the worst possible moment.”

From the outset of this trade war, Unifor has been clear: Canada’s leverage must be used to defend Canadian jobs—not bargained away without reciprocity.

The union has consistently called for a strong retaliatory response to the U.S.’s punitive tariffs and supports Premier Ford’s stance, echoed by the majority of Canadians, that the only answer to Trump’s aggression is to push back hard.

“Canada should not give up counter-tariffs unless the U.S. drops all of its unfair tariffs,” said Payne. “Backing down with concessions is a betrayal of the workers who are and will be paying the price.”

Unifor represents thousands of workers directly impacted by U.S. trade aggression, from auto plants and steel mills to aluminum smelters and forestry operations. The union warns that removing counter-tariffs risks emboldening further U.S. attacks on Canadian industries and jobs.

“Trade leverage is not just a bargaining chip, it’s also a shield,” said Payne. “If Canada surrenders that shield without real gains, our workers and communities will be left exposed. That is unacceptable.”

Unifor is Canada’s largest union in the private sector, representing 320,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.

PRINCE GEORGE, BC , Aug. 22, 2025 /CNW/ – Lheidli T’enneh First Nation and Tano T’enneh Enterprises today announced a $10 million equity investment in First Nations Bank of Canada (FNBC), securing a combined 8.64% ownership stake in Canada’s only Indigenous-owned chartered bank.

Lheidli T’enneh First Nation has purchased a 4.32% ownership interest in FNBC, with Tano T’enneh Enterprises acquiring an additional 4.32%. The announcement was made at a community celebration and news conference at the Lheidli T’enneh Territory Downtown Office in Prince George, British Columbia.

For FNBC President and CEO Bill Lomax, the investment is a major milestone in a commitment he made just over two years ago to significantly grow the FNBC during his tenure. Born and raised in northern British Columbia Lomax said returning to the region for this milestone represents both professional momentum for himself and the FNBC and a lifelong commitment to strengthening Indigenous economies.

“This investment is a powerful statement of confidence in the future of FNBC,” said Lomax. “We are so proud the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation will become a prominent shareholder in our coast-to coast expansion. Our goal has always been to enrich the lives of Indigenous Peoples—here in northern B.C. and across the country—by building a bank that is owned by Indigenous communities and works for Indigenous communities.”

The $10 million commitment builds on FNBC’s growing success in raising Indigenous equity capital. Earlier this month, FNBC announced a $9 million investment from five other Indigenous groups and communities across Canada, bringing the Bank closer to its goal of raising $50 million in equity capital over the coming year.

The new capital will support FNBC’s expanding loan book and national growth, including financing for Indigenous governments, entrepreneurs, and businesses. It will also help scale up new lending programs recently launched with the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) to buy existing businesses from retiring entrepreneurs and Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) to build much needed infrastructure by Indigenous businesses and communities.

“Lheidli T’enneh First Nation is proud to become a shareholder in First Nations Bank of Canada,” said Chief Dolleen Logan. “This investment reflects our commitment to building a strong economic future for our People and supporting an Indigenous-owned financial institution that understands the unique needs and opportunities of our communities. By investing in FNBC, we are not just securing excellent returns for our Nation—we are contributing to economic sovereignty for First Nations.”

“Tano T’enneh Enterprises is focused on building long-term, sustainable opportunities for our Nation,” said Evan Salter, CEO of Tano T’enneh Enterprises. “Becoming a shareholder in FNBC aligns perfectly with that vision. This is an investment in our people, in our future, and in an Indigenous-led institution that is driving prosperity for Nations across the country.”

Founded in 1996, FNBC is now 88% Indigenous-owned and has established itself as the financial partner of choice for Indigenous communities across Canada. The Bank’s unique ownership model ensures that the benefits of growth remain with Indigenous Nations and businesses.
