IBEW Local 2034

Welcome to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 2034 official website. Our almost 3000 members have been lighting up the province of Manitoba since 1958 and we represent the employees of Manitoba Hydro, The Town of Gillam, and The Town of Snow Lake . Our major employer is Manitoba Hydro where our members generate, transm... it and distribute the electricity in Manitoba. We operate, maintain, and repair all of Manitoba Hydros facilities, from the large generating stations to the trucks you see driving down the road to the radios in those trucks. IBEW Local 2034 is very proud that our members are involved in every major community in Manitoba and are among the best citizens in our province. Many of our members are Volunteer Fire Fighters, Cub Scout and Girl Guide Leaders, Hockey and Baseball Coaches and Civic Politicians. Our members are pleased to provide 24 hour a day year round service to keep the lights on in Manitoba. Our members work ethics contribute to the fact that Manitoba Hydro has the lowest electrical rates in North America and among the lowest rates in the world.
