Skills Ontario with sponsorship from TBT Engineering is looking to bring their annual Young Women’s Event to Thunder Bay & Kenora in 2017. The goal of the event is to bring the message of trades and technology based careers to as many young women living in the region as possible! TBT Engineering is once again getting involved by committing $3,000.00 for next year’s event. We encourage other area businesses to please get involved by contacting Skills Ontario (www.skillsontario.com) or by following them on Facebook and Twitter.
TBT Engineering Limited was recently acknowledged by Lakehead University for making a $10,000.00 donation toward a Scholarship for students wishing to attend the Engineering Masters Program at Lakehead University.

With the same spirit and drive that has made TBT Engineering a leading force in the business sector, Rob and Liana Frenette continue to demonstrate a commitment to Lakehead University through the establishment of a graduate level scholarship in civil engineering. “Having 50 years of Lakehead University in Northwestern Ontario has allowed numerous students to attend University. Without an engineering program in the region, TBT Engineering would not have been able to achieve all we have as a Northwestern Ontario business.”
In the spring of 2015, Liana Frenette, past member of Lakehead University’s Board of Directors and a Lakehead Alumna along with her husband, Rob, also a Lakehead graduate graciously made a gift of $20,000 to establish a graduate scholarship in Civil Engineering. “We rely on the students and graduates every year. A Masters in Engineering Program at Lakehead will allow many to fulfill their dreams of furthering their engineering education,” they explain.
Recently ranked as one of Canada’s top female entrepreneurs, Liana Frenette appreciates the value of a good work ethic and a dedicated team. Having just celebrated their 20th anniversary under Liana’s leadership as CEO, TBT Engineering credits their success on fostering relationships with local communities and Aboriginal communities.

On Thursday, May 14, 2015 TBT Engineering participated in the 2015 Heart and Stroke Big Bike Campaign to raise both funds and awareness for those affected. 29 staff members embarked on a rainy 20-minute bike ride which took us from the DaVinci around Arthur Street and Victoria Avenue and back. It was cold, it was wet; but more than anything… it was fun! Our spirits were raised by the knowledge that we were riding to raise money for those affected by heart disease and the hope that our contribution would help to save a life. By the end of the campaign, TBT Engineering and its staff raised just over $2,100.00 for Heart and Stroke research.
In April 2015, TBT Engineering CEO Liana Frenette sat down to speak with 100 girls about careers in the skilled trades and technologies as Skills Canada–Ontario presented its “Skills Work for Women Career Exploration” event at La Place Rendez-Vous here. The goal of the event was to provide information, guidance and to answer questions young women may have about the opportunities that exist for them if they pursue a career in a skilled trade of their choosing.
