Advocating for BC’s Construction Industry

In partnership with our colleagues at the regional and national levels, we work to foster an economic and political climate to promote growth, competition, and success for our industry.

Our Regional Construction Association Partners (NRCA, SICA, VICA, and VRCA) help educate local MLA’s in their respective regions on provincial issues in the context of the region.

At the BCCA, we advocate on behalf of all regions to Ministers shaping provincial policy. Ideally, MLA’s are already aware of how the issues impact the construction industry in their region, which shapes their voice as Ministers.

See how we represent you in the following graphic.
