LNG Canada renews the Trades Training and CONNECT programs
administered by the BC Construction Association
BCCA is the voice for BC’s construction industry, advocating for policies that benefit all British Columbians. In our pursuit of a more robust industry, we promote various crucial policies including Prompt Payment, which ensures fair and timely compensation for construction work, Skilled Workforce Development, focused on fostering a diverse, skilled, and inclusive workforce.
BCCA shares the Canadian Construction Association’s concerns: the 2024 Federal Budget falls short on a number of policies required to meet the needs of BC’s construction industry, specifically in terms of workforce solutions and infrastructure. Our concern is that demand stimulated by aggressive housing targets and loan programs will surpass the BC construction industry’s current capacity, given inflation as well as our province’s workforce shortages and lack of payment certainty.
Lack of payment certainty and workforce shortages continue to worry employers.
Celebrating the talent, expertise and experience BC’s construction and skilled tradespeople are sharing with the next generation.
BCCA distributes Apprenticeship Services program funds ahead of schedule, exceeding targets
We remember Gary Farwell, who served as Chair of the British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) from 1989-1990. Gary passed away in Campbell River on February 25th.
February 1 and February 15, 2024 Webinars from CCA and sponsored by BCCA.
We share the Government’s commitment to building housing and infrastructure, but question how realistic this government’s policy strategy really is given workforce shortages and the vulnerable position in which the Government puts BC’s small and medium-sized contractors by failing to enact Prompt Payment Legislation. The 2024 Budget falls short on policies required to meet the needs of the construction industry and get provincial prosperity growing again.
Be sure to subscribe to our monthly BCCA Briefing to get the latest on important topics like prompt payment and compulsory trades.
