BORN IN CAPE BRETON
DIFFERENT TRADES. ONE CREW.
MEET KEVIN
THE LONG
WAY HERE.
I’m Kevin. I teach carpentry and skilled trades in Cape Breton. My route here included PE teaching, Australia, aviation and more than a few fresh starts.
Tradies United grew from respect for practical skill and a simple belief: people do better when they feel included.
Experienced hands, apprentices, retired tradespeople and everyone who supports them. Union or non-union. There’s room for you here.

A SHARED MARK
OUR LION.
OUR CREW.
A roundel is a circular emblem. Ours puts the red lion from the Nova Scotia flag inside a white field and blue ring. Aviation inspired the format; Cape Breton helped give it meaning.
Beside the TRADIES UNITED stencil, it’s a small way to recognise the people who build, make and fix.
Tradies United is an independent brand, not affiliated with the Royal Canadian Air Force, Canadian Armed Forces or Government of Canada.
MORE THAN WHAT YOU WEAR.
I’d like this to grow into more conversations, shared skills and a stronger sense of community. For now, we’re starting small.
Pass on a skill. Back a friend. Make someone new feel welcome. You don’t have to buy anything to belong.
