From apprenticeship support to charitable giving, the association invests in both the roofing industry and the communities its members serve. 

The Saskatchewan Roofing Contractors’ Association (SRCA) supports the province’s roofing industry through membership, education and industry involvement while extending that commitment to communities through charitable giving. Membership is available to qualified businesses and individuals across five categories: active, associate, industry, international and honorary members. Active members are Saskatchewan firms engaged in roofing and related sheet metal contracting, while associate membership is available to companies that manufacture or supply materials, equipment or accessories for the industry. Other categories provide opportunities for individuals interested in industry information, contractors operating outside Canada and people recognized for distinguished service to the association’s objectives. 

Beyond membership services, SRCA participates in programs designed to strengthen the roofing workforce. Its involvement includes the Saskatchewan Roofing Apprenticeship Program and the Roofing Apprenticeship Bursary. Apprentices employed by an active member who successfully pass the Journeyperson's exam receive $500, with an additional $500 awarded to the apprentice who earns the highest marks on the interprovincial exam. 

The association also offers a $1,000 SRCA Post Secondary Scholarship to selected applicants whose parent or guardian works for an active member. Additional industry and community involvement includes support for Habitat for Humanity through member donations of materials and labor, along with membership and committee participation in the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association, Saskatchewan Construction Association and Trade Advisory Board. 

Community support also extends through charitable giving. Each October, the SRCA board of directors reviews requests from charitable organizations in the communities it serves. The association supports local nonprofit organizations and individuals through financial contributions and in-kind services that meet its charitable giving guidelines.
