In Memoriam:
Wayne Fagrie

SMWTCS recognizes the passing of Wayne Fagrie, a longtime sheet metal worker and member of SMART Local 280.

Wayne’s career in trades education began as an instructor with public training providers PVI and BCIT.

In 1992, he was recruited as the first Head Instructor of the Sheet Metal Workers Training Centre when it opened. Wayne later held both the Head Instructor and Training Coordinator roles in the early 2000s, before retiring in 2006.

His many years of service helped establish and strengthen apprenticeship training at SMWTCS and supported generations of sheet metal workers.

We extend our condolences to Wayne’s family, friends and colleagues.
