The search for the next SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 “Supermason” is headed to Calgary, Alberta on September 18th, 2020. This year’s host, I-XL Building Products, will be the backdrop for another great local competition, and will be one of 20 such masonry battles held across North America in preparation for the World Championship.
Last year, seven teams of masons and tenders lined the arena at I-XL in Calgary ready to prove they’re the best craftsmen in Alberta. Mason Douglas Veldman and mason tender Daniel Veldman of Veldman Masonry in Lethbridge, AB took home top honors with a brick count of 627, winning a free trip to Las Vegas for the World Championship, a cash prize of $700, a Marshalltown tool bag, Stabila Level and the title, “Alberta’s Best Bricklayer.” This is their first time qualifying for the World Championship.
