Local 555 History
Lodge 555 was previously chartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and re-instated in 1954 in Winnipeg.
The work at the time, was a new smelter in Thompson, a steam plant in Winnipeg, McArthur Hydro-Dam, and oil refineries. The International recognized the need for the Boilermakers to have fair representation in this part of Canada.
The Brotherhood provided the financial assistance by hiring a Secretary-Treasurer with a union background to get the lodge on a secure financial footing.
With all the work at the time, the boomers came from other sister lodges sharing their high degree of skills and expertise which rubbed off on the new members into the Brotherhood. When the work slowed down, the members of Lodge 555 boomed out to the Lakehead area (Northwestern Ontario) and Saskatchewan, which later became the territory of Lodge 555.
In the early 1970’s, Lodge 555 launched an apprenticeship in Manitoba and worked towards trade designations in Saskatchewan. In 1976, Lodge 555 worked in partnership with Red River Community College as the source for training of the new generation of Boilermakers.
