Just found out the city of Edmonton has a free contractor licensing workshop every month

I was looking up something about permits for a flat roof job and stumbled on this city page. They go over bonding, insurance, and even safety paperwork. I've been doing this 12 years and never knew it existed.

Were there any actual city inspectors or permit office people leading the workshop, or was it just someone reading from a binder? I've been through a few city-run things where they just hand you a packet and tell you to read it yourself. The bonding part is what gets tricky for most guys I know, especially the difference between a bid bond and a performance bond, and whether the city requires both for commercial jobs over a certain dollar amount.
