Blaire Masztalar
Fraser Valley Refrigeration Ltd.
Blaire started in the mechanical contracting industry at a young age, joining the family business full time in 1984. A second-generation mechanical contractor, Blaire trained as a Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Mechanic and eventually earned his Electrical and Gas tickets. He has led numerous projects as the General Manager at Fraser Valley Refrigeration for 20 years. Blaire is currently an MCABC Board Director.
Ensuring that the current regulatory framework adapts to the ever-changing industry is paramount for Blaire. He believes that the Association can make an impact on the direction of the industry and bridge the gap between the industry and regulators, influencing regulations related to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and development of codes and regulations for new refrigerants.
Blaire is an advocate for the trades’ “green” potential and wants to continue advocacy work with the government and help guide regulatory systems to adopt the direction of the industry. For Blaire, it is key to direct regulatory efforts towards maintaining the province’s competitiveness in sustainability and innovation.
