MESSAGE FROM THE NRCA CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

NICOLE BRYANT

Dear members of the Northern Regional Construction Association

As I reflect on the past year, I’m proud of what we’ve achieved as a community and as an association, even amidst shifts in our economic and political landscape. British Columbia’s recent election has brought a new government, and we hope it will address both the opportunities and challenges facing our industry. Although there are some unknowns as this government takes shape, we remain cautiously optimistic about the potential for growth and collaboration. Our region holds a significant share of British Columbia’s construction potential, with approximately $89.7 billion in proposed projects out of the $166 billion projected for the province overall. This level of development highlights northern B.C.’s crucial role in our province’s future.

Construction is the leading employer within the goods and services sector, accounting for 10% of BC’s GDP and contributing $29.3 billion to the economy. However, we are facing challenges that impact our ability to meet the rising demand. Over the next decade, we expect more than 20,000 job vacancies in construction across B.C., driven by both retirements and expansion needs. Currently, only 5.7% of our workforce is comprised of women. Addressing these workforce shortages means building a more inclusive, welcoming environment for all and attracting diverse talent that will strengthen our industry. Reflecting on the past year, we’ve celebrated many successful events that brought our members together, reinforcing the unity within our community. The second annual Build the North conference was a major highlight, focusing on leadership development and regional

priorities. Our popular golf tournament fostered valuable connections, and we eagerly anticipate the upcoming holiday gala, which promises to be a memorable evening. Looking ahead, we are committed to continuing our successful events while expanding our offerings in professional development, training, and education. We believe these opportunities are vital for supporting our members and advancing the industry as a whole.

As we work to grow our membership and strengthen our collective voice, we emphasize the importance of being part of the NRCA. Membership in our association empowers us to better advocate for your needs and effect meaningful change within our industry. With a larger, united membership, we can amplify our impact, especially as we lobby for prompt payment legislation, pursue lien reform, and promote fair, open, and transparent procurement practices.

As we close out the year, I am deeply grateful to each of our members. Your dedication, hard work, and trust in this association propel us forward, and we remain committed to supporting you and advocating on your behalf. Together, we will navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead. I am proud of what we have accomplished and look forward to a future where our industry will continue to thrive, innovate, and contribute to the prosperity of our region. Thank you for being a part of NRCA and for everything you do to advance our industry. Here’s to another successful year marked by resilience, collaboration, and growth. l

MESSAGE FROM THE NRCA CHAIR TIM HOLMES

Regional Construction Association

As my term as Board Chair comes to a close this April, I find myself reflecting on what an incredible journey it has been to serve this vibrant organization and the dedicated professionals that make up the Northern Regional Construction Association. It’s been a privilege to work alongside such passionate individuals who are committed not only to advancing the interests of our industry but also to building a stronger, more resilient northern British Columbia.

During my time as Chair, I have witnessed NRCA’s unwavering dedication to the needs of our members, whether through advocacy for prompt payment and lien reform, efforts to improve transparency and fairness in procurement, or initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion within the industry. The work we do goes beyond individual projects or businesses; it’s about shaping a future where construction professionals from all backgrounds can thrive and contribute to a prosperous region.

I am especially proud of our focus on member engagement and professional development. Events like the Build the North conference, our popular annual golf tournament, and the winter gala underscore the power of coming together as a community to share knowledge, strengthen connections, and celebrate our collective achievements. These gatherings are not only valuable for networking but are essential in uniting us around a shared purpose.

As we look ahead, I am confident that NRCA will continue to grow and adapt to the needs of our industry in the north. The board and staff remain committed to advocating for meaningful change and ensuring that the voices of our members are heard at every level. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have served as Chair, and I look forward to seeing NRCA reach even greater heights under new leadership. Thank you to each and every one of you for your support and dedication to our industry and this association. l

Investing in connectionThe real value of association membership

Membership organizations and associations play a foundational role in the fabric of society, providing opportunity for collective action and community support. Membership in such associations is not only beneficial but essential, even for those who might feel they can gain advantages without direct involvement. Although many of the benefits provided by associations extend broadly across communities, individuals have a strong moral and social responsibility to support these organizations through membership and active involvement. In essence, associations rely on the contributions, energy, and advocacy of their members to advance their missions and ensure the long-term vitality of the communities they serve.

In recent years, we have seen a troubling decline in membership across various types of organizations, from industry associations and trade groups to civic and recreational clubs. This downward trend, documented extensively by researchers, shows changing social dynamics and a growing preference for individual goals rather than communal engagement. The reduction in membership is particularly concerning because it directly impacts the ability of these

organizations to function, grow, and fulfill their missions. As memberships decline, so does the financial and volunteer resources that allow associations to advocate effectively, offer professional development, and provide a platform for collective action. This erosion of support poses a risk not only to the associations themselves but also to the broader communities they serve.

The weakening of social organizations, whether they be recreational leagues, religious congregations, or civic associations, signals a reduction in social capital, which is the foundation of trust and mutual support in a community. Without these networks, communities are less resilient, less informed, and ultimately less capable of addressing collective needs. Participation in associations, therefore, is not simply a personal decision; it is a commitment to the well-being of the broader society.

Associations provide a structured way to address specific needs within industries, professions, and communities. For instance, construction associations advocate for industry-wide issues such as workforce development, safety standards, and fair regulatory practices. Membership contributions and active engagement allow these organizations to leverage collective

influence and resources to bring about changes that no individual business could accomplish alone. This collective strength can lead to significant legislative, economic, and social advancements that benefit all members within the industry, and often, society at large. Yet, while non-members may still benefit from these efforts, the support of all industry professionals is crucial for ensuring the organization’s sustainability. By contributing dues, volunteering, or participating in events, members enable associations to conduct research, advocate for policy changes, and provide training that benefits both individuals and the industry as a whole.

In an increasingly isolated world, membership in organizations provides not only practical benefits but also a vital source of identity and belonging. Being part of a professional organization, for example, allows members to share their experiences, challenges, and victories with others who understand their unique context. This sense of camaraderie strengthens both individual resolve and group cohesion. Such networks can prove invaluable when members face challenges, whether that involves navigating regulatory changes, securing business during economic

downturns, or facing personal struggles that impact work. Associations offer a platform for mutual aid and empowerment, and through participation, individuals contribute to a culture of support that transcends individual interests.

Membership in associations also plays a critical role in civic engagement and the democratic process. Many associations act as advocacy groups, representing the interests of their members in local, regional, and national governments. They work to educate policymakers, influence legislation, and mobilize voters on issues relevant to their membership. Without sufficient support, associations may lack the necessary resources to sustain long-term advocacy campaigns or respond swiftly to emerging issues. By joining and actively participating, members ensure that their voices are heard and that the association can maintain a powerful presence in public discourse.

In a society where we seem to be become more divided, a decline in civic engagement correlates with a rise in social and economic inequality. When individuals withdraw from associations, communities become

more fragmented and polarized, which makes it harder to solve complex problems collaboratively.

Associations, by providing platforms for people with shared interests to come together, play a critical role in breaking down these divisions. They facilitate dialogue between diverse individuals and groups, fostering understanding and bridging gaps. This communal aspect of associations, which puts people in regular contact with others from different backgrounds, helps build the kind of mutual trust and respect that is crucial for a functioning democracy. By joining and supporting these organizations, individuals help cultivate an inclusive society where different perspectives are not only represented but respected.

It is important to recognize that association memberships are an investment, not only in individual development but also in the collective well-being. Membership dues and volunteer work are what make it possible for associations to provide valuable services such as professional development, networking opportunities, and policy advocacy. In many cases, these organizations operate on

limited budgets and rely heavily on member contributions to function. When individuals join associations, they make it possible for these groups to exist and continue their work. Without active members and the financial support they bring, many associations would struggle to maintain their operations, let alone make a meaningful impact. Membership, therefore, is not merely a transactional relationship but a way to contribute to something greater than oneself.

By choosing to join and participate in associations, individuals are not only enhancing their own lives but also investing in the future of their community. Associations rely on the dedication and support of their members to advocate, educate, and build better futures. Whether through financial contributions, volunteer efforts, or simply the act of showing up, members play a crucial role in advancing the needs of the collective. In a world where social ties are increasingly fragmented, joining an association is an act of solidarity that ensures that everyone has a voice, a support network, and the power to effect change. l

BCCA PRESIDENT’S REPORT

CHRIS ATCHISON

The health of an industry depends as much on proactive measures taken by those who want to see it thrive as it does on how well they perform under pressure. At BCCA, we adopt a holistic approach to addressing the issues faced by B.C.’s construction industry as it deals with workforce shortages and other challenges to the viability of the companies that make up its numbers. Our focus this past year remained consistent with our mission: building a vibrant workforce, supporting construction delivery, and reinforcing our communities.

Workforce development programs are a cornerstone of our efforts to eliminate shortages which threaten

our industry. BCCA activity and achievements this past fiscal year included:

• The resounding success of the Builders Life promotional campaign, which increased notoriety of the trades among the general public and created a talent pool nearly 10,000 strong. The powerful message of Builders Life resonated with both job seekers and employers across B.C.

• The successful delivery of the Apprenticeship Services program, which surpassed its objectives and injected well over $16 million into B.C.’s economy. The program created over two thousand new first-year apprentices for B.C., including more than 1,000 from equity-deserving groups.

• The ramping up of the Building Builders program, which saw mentees matched with mentors able to provide guidance as they take their place within our industry.

• The continued success of BCCA Integrating Newcomers (BCCA-IN) and the Skilled Trades Employment Program (STEP). These longstanding programs today efficiently and effectively address needs identified over a decade ago.

• Five years of Builders Code influencing accepted behaviour in the workplace, from the worksite to the boardroom.

• The annual Construction and Skilled

Trades Month, with companies and organizations recognized for excellence in leadership, culture, and procurement.

It is encouraging to see these programs and initiatives meet the expectations of people seeking to advance in an industry that needs them.

BCCA continued to advocate on behalf of industry, particularly with regards to prompt payment, lien reform, and adjudication. We led over 30 industry partners in co-signing a letter to the Attorney General demanding the enactment of Prompt Payment Legislation, and commissioned a Cross-Jurisdictional Analysis which we delivered to the Premier, the Attorney General, and the Minister of Finance. Our ongoing commitment to fair, open, and transparent procurement practices and contract terms found a voice in our successful Owners Only series, which continues to educate public owners on important topics such as “Contract A,” the BC Builders Lien Act, change orders, and project delivery methods. This work seeks to open dialogue and build trust with public sector owners across B.C.

On the question of Prompt Payment Legislation, which dominated our advocacy efforts this year, we moved from a position of optimism to one of disappointment as it became clear that our objective wouldn’t be achieved within the current legislative cycle. Our message to government is clear: Prompt Payment Legislation is good for B.C.’s construction industry, is good for B.C.’s economy, and is good for the taxpayers of British Columbia. We continue to strive for this win-winwin. We continue to demonstrate to government that we can be both an effective partner and a reliable sounding board as we work together

to ensure a bright future for our province.

This year has seen BCCA continue its path of reconciliation with Indigenous communities. I invite industry to consult BCCA’s Truth and Reconciliation: Industry Priorities page and access resources for B.C. employers. Join us on a journey that is meaningful and rewarding.

As we turn the page on another year and look towards the future, I cannot overstate how appreciative I am of contributions made by our staff and board, and how grateful I am to be collaborating with the leadership at the four regional construction associations and other stakeholder organizations.

Together, we build B.C. l

Celebrating 55 years of dedicated service and well-being

The BCCA Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) is proud to celebrate a significant milestone – 55 years of providing comprehensive health and

wellness benefits to the construction industry across British Columbia and beyond. Since our founding in 1969, our mission has been to support the

hardworking individuals who drive the construction sector, ensuring they and their families have access to the essential benefits that protect their health, financial stability, and overall well-being.

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE STAND FOR

The BCCA Employee Benefit Trust was established to help employers of all sizes provide health benefits to their employees at affordable rates. Today, we proudly serve over 8,500 members across 500 employers, continually adapting our benefits to meet the evolving needs of employers and employees. What sets us apart is our member-centric approach, where every decision we make is grounded in the belief that healthy, supported employees lead to a stronger and more resilient industry.

Over the past five decades, the BCCA EBT has grown from a small initiative spearheaded by construction leaders into a trusted

provider of benefits for construction workers across BC and beyond. Our plans have expanded to meet the evolving physical and mental health needs of employees. We’ve consistently invested in proactive solutions to ensure members and their families receive the care they need – whether by introducing new benefits like Critical Illness coverage or enhancing mental health support with services such as internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT).

OUR COMMITMENT TO WELL-BEING

A benefits plan is more than just insurance – it’s a support system that helps employees thrive while giving companies the ability to attract and retain top talent. Our goal has always been to provide reliable, stable benefits that employers can count on. During challenging times, like the COVID-19 pandemic, we quickly acted with relief measures such as reducing health and dental premiums to ease the financial burden on our members.

We are committed to continually enhancing our offerings to meet emerging health concerns. From the addition of hyaluronic acid injections for osteoarthritis treatment to increasing the Basic Life/AD&D termination age to 75 (from age 70), our plans are designed to reflect the evolving needs of our members.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

The BCCA Employee Benefit Trust is dedicated to providing comprehensive benefits that promote the health, security, and peace of mind of our members. With a focus on well-being, rate transparency, and exceptional member service, we will continue to grow alongside our members, addressing new challenges and ensuring long-term stability in the years ahead.

For more information on benefit plans and what makes the BCCA Employee Benefit Trust unique, visit www.bccabenefits.ca, email info@ bccabenefits.ca, or call 1-800-6651077. Your peace of mind is our top priority, and we are here to assist you every step of the way. l

As we celebrate our 55th anniversary, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting the construction industry’s workforce.

B.C.’s only construction industry-specific job board

By construction, for construction.

We’ve always believed that construction knows best what construction needs. And we know how to get the job done. It’s in this spirit that we launched Builders Life TalentCentral, a job board that matches construction employers with job seekers across B.C.

We all remember the highly successful “This is what a builder looks like” Builders Life ad campaign, which ran last year. The resounding success of that campaign

resulted in a talent pool nearly 10,000 strong. When we saw that, we knew that we had to convert that interest by job seekers into value for our industry. Builders Life TalentCentral was born.

Builders Life TalentCentral allows employers to post job openings and connect with talent. It helps in the hiring process while allowing job seekers to create a profile and access career opportunities. All this is at no cost for job seekers and integrated members of B.C.’s regional construction associations, with whom we partnered to make BCCA’s Builders Life TalentCentral a reality.

KEY FEATURES OF BUILDERS LIFE TALENTCENTRAL INCLUDE:

For employers

• Post job openings and search talent profiles, from entrylevel to executive roles.

• Search and review job seeker profiles and resumes.

• Contact job seekers directly.

• Premium services for all employers will be available on a fee-basis.

For job seekers

• Find and apply for current job postings across the province.

• Create a personal profile, upload a resume, with an option to be searchable to B.C. construction employers.

• Connect with employers.

• Access resources.

• Great perks from Mark’s Commercial and other partners.

Builders Life TalentCentral is a proactive measure, aimed at closing the workforce shortage gap in B.C. The number of job openings expected in B.C.’s ICIR (industrial, commercial, institutional and residential (multi-unit))

sector by 2033 as the result of retirements and expansion is 20,700, of which 6,600 are forecast to remain unfilled. This is a significant improvement over the past five years but is still not enough. We need to do more as an industry to recruit new workers to fill the jobs that will be vacated by retirees. By making construction more attractive to a diverse talent pool, and by offering employers a tool and the means to connect with job seekers through Builders Life TalentCentral, we hope to help solve B.C.’s workforce shortage crisis.

Job seekers have reason to be interested in construction as a career path. Data from our 2024 B.C.

Construction Industry Survey tells the story. Construction continues to pay very competitively, as entry-level respondents on average report earning 25% higher than minimum wage. The average hourly wage across all trades ranges from $22.11/hr for those working less than one year to $42.71/hr for those working more than 10 years. The majority of workers report being paid overtime, while most report receiving health benefits, working full time and working year-round. Builders Life TalentCentral offers job seekers an effective tool to identify

CELEBRATING

opportunities and reach out to employers. Finding work in B.C.’s construction industry has never been easier.

The health of an industry depends as much on proactive measures taken by those who want to see it thrive, as it does on how well they perform under pressure. At BCCA, we adopt a holistic approach to addressing the workforce shortage issues faced by B.C.’s construction industry. Our focus remains consistent with our mission: building a vibrant workforce, supporting construction delivery and reinforcing our communities.

Builders Life TalentCentral is one important way BCCA is delivering on its commitment to B.C.’s construction industry.

NCSO® and NHSA™ –

The indispensable safety designations for small construction employers

There are more than two dozen safety certifications and designations commonly recognized in Canada — but the designations of National Construction Safety Officer (NCSO®) and National Health and Safety Administrator (NHSATM) hold particular significance for small construction employers. Here’s why.

Most of the safety certifications and designations important to construction employers are held by people in larger companies whose only function is to support the company’s health and safety program. Those who have earned Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP®) certification, for example, are typically those

who have chosen occupational health and safety (OH&S) as their profession. They’re hired by larger companies with the resources to employ one or more people as part of the OH&S team.

But most Canadian construction companies are smaller. In 2023, Statistics Canada reported that more than 61% of Canadian construction companies were micro companies — those employing fewer than five employees. Even companies employing as many as 20 people rarely have the resources to hire a dedicated health and safety person.

Smaller employers typically designate health and safety functions to employees who have

other duties. These could include a member of the trades — a formworker, carpenter, or electrician — or an office administrator. In some cases, the owner of the company performs double-duty as both president and health and safety officer. That’s where NCSO® and NHSATM come in — to enhance the safety credentials of people who are already offering health and safety services within the company. Earning these designations expands their safety toolkit by providing practical training in construction safety management skills and principles.

WHO OFFERS NCSO® AND NHSATM TRAINING?

NCSO® and NHSATM training are offered through provincial and territorial construction health and safety organizations who are members of the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations (CFCSA).

WHO CAN APPLY?

To apply for the NCSO® designation, a person must have

three years of practical construction field experience — someone who works directly and actively in the construction field, someone who is directly and actively engaged in safety (for example, a site safety coordinator), or someone responsible for the supervision of construction workers, who also works directly and actively in the construction field.

Those who apply for the NHSATM designation typically want to play a role — or a larger role — in the administration of their company’s health and safety program. They do not require construction field experience.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME AN NCSO® OR NHSATM?

NCSO® applicants need to

WORRY LESS BUILD MORE

complete a list of required courses, which covers subjects such as basic auditing principles, Certificate of Recognition (COR®) essentials, hazard and risk management, joint health and safety committees, and investigating and reporting incidents. They also need to conduct an approved health and safety audit.

NHSATM applicants complete the same courses, but conducting an audit is optional.

WHAT SKILLS WILL I HAVE MASTERED AS AN NCSO® OR NHSATM?

An NCSO® and NHSATM will be qualified to assist in implementing, maintaining, and monitoring a company’s health and safety

system; review and identify health and safety issues specific to the work site and company operations; and communicate effectively with government, OH&S officers, management, and workers regarding health and safety. These skills will be recognized nationally by all members of the CFCSA.

Those who earn recognition as an NCSO® or NHSATM may choose to use their training as a starting point to take on a larger role in health and safety or pursue other safety certifications. However, with these credentials in place they can continue to make a significant difference in enhancing a construction company’s health and safety program. l

Build the North 2024

Fostering connections and celebrating excellence in northern B.C. construction

The Build the North conference was held this past April in Prince George, B.C. This was the second year for the northern region trade conference, and it proved to be a big success for attendees and sponsors.

“We doubled our participation this year,” says Nicole Bryant, CEO, Northern Regional Construction Association. “We went from 100 attendees the first year to 190 this year. It was well received and very much needed.”

The Opening Remarks featured three impressive individuals: Mary Van Buren, Outgoing President

of the Canadian Construction Association; Chris Atchinson, President of the British Columbia Construction Association; and Nicole Bryant, CEO of the Northern Regional Construction Association.

“Our keynote speaker was former NHL player Bob Wilkie who spoke about mental health and how it is very important to protect and invest in it,” says Bryant.

After enduring mental health challenges as a result of a tragedy, Wilkie shared the importance of committing to mental health wellness daily to be able to

move forward and recover from challenging experiences. He also gave a session on giving and receiving feedback regarding management leadership feedback.

Bryant says that the NRCA is pleased that some of the bigger players in the industry are coming out to support the conference.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Breakout Sessions included several great presentations by a variety of industry professionals, including:

• Fostering Professional

2025 CONFERENCE

Bryant says plans for the 2025 Conference are underway and early bird tickets will be available in December on the NRCA website.

The awards ceremony will take place during the conference as Bryant says it is better for members and attendees that travel to Prince George from around the region to attend.

“Our award winners were very excited to be recognized for some of the great projects we do up here,” says Bryant. “These are complex projects. It’s rare that you see our contractors celebrate the work that they do.”

The Association is now accepting

nominations for the 2025 Conference.

There are a variety of award categories that include General Contractor of the Year, in addition to individual awards.

“We also have a Women in Construction award and an Administrator of the Year award,” says Bryant. “Categories are on our website. Anyone can submit a nomination for a category for themselves or for another company. In the project section, you can selfnominate.”

She concludes by expressing her heartfelt appreciation, “We are super grateful to have our members support a vision we have and know that this is an important part of our industry.” l

Gold Seal Certification Program: Elevating construction careers through excellence

This certification is a nationally recognized standard of excellence for construction management professionals

With its mission to inspire a progressive, innovative, and sustainable construction industry that consistently acts with integrity, the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) is the national voice for the country’s institutional, commercial, industrial, civil, and multi-residential construction industry.

“Our services include access to valuable industry information, best practices, professional development opportunities through our Gold Seal Program, and robust advocacy and leadership at the national level – all designed to empower construction professionals,” says CCA President Rodrigue Gilbert.

Representing 18,000 member firms through 64 local and provincial Integrated Partner Associations across Canada, the CCA offers two types of membership – integrated and corporate – tailored to meet the needs of its members.

“We advocate for our members, raising their interests with policymakers as we work together to build a better Canada for families, communities, and businesses,” says Gilbert. “We also encourage continued professional development and training through our Gold Seal Program.”

STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE

The Gold Seal Certification is a nationally recognized standard of excellence for construction management professionals. It demonstrates credibility, expertise, education, and dedication to continuous learning and development within the industry.

This Certification is open to construction management professionals who identify with one of the following designations: Estimator, Foreperson, Owner’s Construction Manager, Project Manager, Safety Practitioner, or Superintendent. 250-564-2883 | cascade-mechanical.ca

PRINCE GEORGE, BC
Nicole Belcher, a corporate safety manager with CIF Construction Ltd. in Prince George received her certification in 2020.

“Candidates can earn their Gold Seal Certification through a combination of industry experience, education, and the successful completion of an examination,” explains Gilbert.

MEET TWO GOLD SEAL CERTIFIED INDIVIDUALS

Nicole Belcher, a corporate safety manager with CIF Construction Ltd. in Prince George, B.C. is a long-standing Gold Seal Certified individual who received certification in 2020. She became interested in the injury management and safety process after her spouse suffered a workplace injury.

“I’ve dealt with different aspects of occupational health and safety through my career and construction safety was something I was interested in,” she says.

Prior to entering the construction field, Belcher worked in community health and spoke to individuals who had received certification.

“The courses seemed so relevant. It was just that touch of added flare. I believe the ethics courses are the most important. It gave me the groundwork to develop a very ethical program and a code of ethics for our company.”

Belcher also uses this information

“Achieving Gold Seal Certification showcases exceptional competence, credibility, and professionalism and sets you apart in a competitive job market.”
—CCA President Rodrigue Gilbert

for interpersonal communication as well as for company development.

“Since I’ve had it, I’ve held the same position. However, in the event I was going forward, it’s very beneficial. It’s recognizable for the company just as much as for the individual.”

She adds that it provides that touch of integrity to the company. “It shows that the company will go above and beyond the basics and that they care about their employees as well as the industry. I encourage everyone to pursue it because it’s a higher standard.”

Justin Herle is currently employed at Datoff Bros. Construction, a general contractor in Prince George, B.C., and he is one of the newest Gold Seal Certified individuals. He says knowing how infrastructure is built and functions has always been of interest to him.

“I’ve always enjoyed business and technology as well, and I have a knack for finances, budgets, schedules, and people. I did some work on the business side of construction and completed my Red Seal in 2013 after a couple of years of being superintendent.”

Herle says he always wanted to

go back to do his Gold Seal but put it aside. “I had a new family, and it moved to the back burner. However, it was always in the back of my mind as I’ve completed many seminars, workshops, and training classes throughout the years. The Gold Seal program is a marker that you’re committed to your industry, to learning and growing, and continuing your education.”

As operations manager, he serves as project manager and does general superintendent work, and works on commercial, institutional, and industrial projects.

“For me, it’s important to show that you’re growing and developing, and the Gold Seal program demonstrates your commitment to that development. Through the process of the program, you see that there are so many facets to construction. It’s not how just the actual trades work.”

Herle says the construction industry is quite diverse in terms of the roles that are required. Individuals with financial literacy and those knowledgeable about law are important.

“Contracts are very important. We need engineers and people that are

physically capable of doing the job. We also need to increase the level of mentorship in our industry.”

He adds that when a company employs Gold Seal employees, it shows they have credible people on board.

“It’s also accountability that you’re committed to your education. Construction is evolving. There are different trends, new technologies, and new precedents being set in different law settings. We need to continue to evolve. Challenge yourself by signing up and making a goal to complete it because you’re going to learn a lot in the process.”

HOW TO APPLY

For those interested in the program, the first step is to visit the CCA website at https://www.ccaacc.com/gold-seal/ for information on how to apply, complete a selfassessment, and determine your eligibility. To begin the certification journey, applicants must first enroll in the Program. Once they are approved as a Gold Seal Intern, and meet the 100 credits requirement, they can apply to be approved to write the exam. The total cost to

earn certification is $650, which includes $425 for enrollment, $100 for the GSC application, and $125 for the exam.

Gold Seal Certification benefits construction management professionals in their careers in a number of ways.

“Achieving Gold Seal Certification showcases exceptional competence, credibility, and professionalism and sets you apart in a competitive job market,” says Gilbert. “Pursuing this certification enhances your reputation and credibility among peers, employers, and clients, setting you apart by demonstrating your commitment to professional development and continuous learning.”

Employers are increasingly preferring or requiring Gold Seal Certified professionals for leadership roles, as hiring individuals with this certification benefits companies greatly.

“It enhances a company’s reputation among clients as a company that hires the best and brightest,” says Gilbert. “Companies committed to supporting their employees in achieving Gold

Justin Herle, who works at Datoff Bros. Construction in Prince George, says the Gold Seal program shows that you’re committed to your industry.

Seal Certification demonstrate a dedication to professional development and industry best practices, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence.”

Achieving recognition as a Gold Seal Employer can also bolster a company’s reputation for quality and professionalism as clients are seeking assurance that competent and dependable professionals will be managing their projects.

When asked about the feedback the CCA is receiving from individuals who went through the certification, Gilbert says it has been very positive.

“Many view it as a significant milestone that enhances their skills and adds value to their employer’s projects. Some are also saying that it has positioned them as role models, inspiring others to pursue their own career growth,” he says.

“With nearly 12,000 GSCs, this community of professionals is proud to demonstrate their high level of knowledge and commitment to staying current with industry trends. It’s a win-win for employees and employers alike.” l

New UHNBC Care Tower set to improve healthcare for northern British Columbia

Originally called Prince George Regional Hospital, University Hospital of Northern British Columbia (UHNBC) in Prince George was first built in 1958 and has served the region well for almost 70 years. In that time, the venerable facility has seen additions to its footprint, which were completed in 1978 and 2003, and there are currently 10 additional buildings that make up the 276-bed UHNBC site.

But there has been nothing like what is on the horizon for UHNBC, with its ambitious plans for a new $1.579-billion acute care tower.

Given that UHNBC has been in service for so long, the hospital has been showing its age in recent years and is today simply too small and outdated to continue serving the growing needs of Prince George

and the surrounding region into the future – especially considering aging demographics and an expected 20 per cent population increase of the Northern Health coverage area over the next two decades.

“We know we have work ahead of us to make world-class acute care more accessible in the north and we’ll keep working to get the job done,” said former B.C. Minister of Health, Adrian Dix, in a press release. “As our population grows and ages, in Prince George and throughout the province, we’re investing in health care to meet current and future demand.”

As an organization that works to enhance the quality of healthcare within the UHNBC service area, the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation partners with the

hospital through facilitating collaboration between donors, healthcare partners, and the Northern Health Authority. In this role, the Foundation has long advocated for the exact kind of improved service the new care tower will bring to the region.

“We look for priorities, such as minimizing travel and reducing – or eliminating – wait times for our northern patients,” says Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation CEO, Aimee Cassie. “Our goal is to help make care more accessible and closer to home for residents across the region, ultimately, removing barriers to care.”

A PLACE FOR HEALING

The care tower will be located on the southeast corner of the UHNBC

campus on the site of the health unit building between Edmonton and Winnipeg streets. When complete, the facility will feature enhanced acute care and a dedicated cardiac unit that will more than double the current number of beds for surgical, mental-health, and cardiac services from 102 to 211.

Currently dispersed throughout the hospital, cardiac care will become centralized in the 11-storey acute-care tower with a new six-bed cardiac-care unit and a new 20-bed cardiac step-down unit. Along with interventional cardiac services the development will bring, northern residents will have better access to the critical cardiac care they need closer to home.

“People don’t always realize the travel that is required from the north to access interventional cardiac care,” says Cassie. “While we have just opened the first cardiac care unit at UHNBC, which was more than a million dollars of investment from Spirit of the North, the program is still in its infancy and the long-term goal of advancing and improving the cardiac services available in the north remains.”

The tower will also house a stateof-the-art surgical unit with 47 new beds, bringing the total to 102, and it will increase the size and number of operating rooms from seven to 12. An expanded medical device and reprocessing department will add to the improved surgical capacity and create a more efficient surgical environment.

“The surgical suite and additional beds, along with the interventional cardiac care, will help to narrow the gap in health services we currently see in northern British Columbia,” says Cassie. “We also believe that the new care tower will show off some of our northern influences, which is a testament to the region and the patience we’ve shown in waiting for this project to come to fruition.”

REDEFINING WELLNESS

Care for those suffering with mental health illnesses or substance addictions has evolved immensely in the years since UHNBC was first built in 1958. And while the hospital and staff have strived to always provide the best care in the areas of mental health and addiction, clinical and design standards to support those struggling with mental health and addictions have changed considerably since UHNBC’s construction, which the new care tower will address.

To better meet the need for mental-health and substanceuse services, the number of treatment beds will increase by 36 to a total of 83, including 11 youth psychiatric-assessment beds, four brief-intervention beds, 36 adult psychiatric beds and 32 withdrawalmanagement beds. The design will also incorporate brighter and more cheerful treatment areas and living spaces that will encourage better patient outcomes.

“This is not only an area of care that is challenging the north – it

affects every community across the province,” says Cassie. “The more mental health supports and beds we can provide here in Prince George will only help to relieve some of the pressure on other parts of the healthcare system, as well as support the amazing teams on the front line who are doing incredible work during trying and difficult circumstances.”

AN OPTIMISTIC RESPONSE

Northern Health originally submitted a concept plan to the provincial government for the new patient care tower in 2017 which was approved in 2020. Early work on the project has already begun with the start of construction on a 471-space parkade on Lethbridge Street next to the BC Cancer Centre for the North. The next stage for the patient-care tower will be the procurement process, with construction beginning in fall 2026 and completion by summer 2031.

“This project has been on the radar for quite some time now and while there is still much work to do, we are eager for groundbreaking,” says Cassie.

That said, excitement is growing, and UHNBC staff and other stakeholders – like Spirit of the North – are looking forward to what the new care tower will bring to the hospital.

“Spirit of the North is looking forward to the day when cardiac patients don’t have to travel for interventional cardiac care. Instead, we can provide that level of interventional care here in the North. That will be the ‘full circle’ moment for all of us.” says Cassie. “Obviously there is lots to do before we get there, but the little wins along the way will motivate our volunteers, donors, and supporters, and we are extremely excited about what the future holds.” l

Corestock Industrial Supply presented with two NRCA Awards

The NRCA recognizes outstanding achievements within the construction industry

The Northern Regional Construction Association’s Constructing Excellence Awards celebrates exceptional achievements in the construction industry. These awards are divided into three overarching categories, each recognizing outstanding contributions in different areas: project, company, and individual.

The awards highlight the collective effort, skills, and expertise required to complete noteworthy construction projects.

Cassie Savage, business development and marketing manager at Corestock Industrial Supply Ltd., was presented with Employee of the Year Award this year. The company also received Supplier of the Year.

An industrial supplier, the company sells everything from pipefittings to hydraulics and industrial hoses and waterwell supplies. In business for 25 years, customers utilize a mixture of many of the company’s products. The

company has tailored its inventory so individuals can get most of what they need at this one-stop shop.

“Ultimately, it’s a testament to the whole team’s hard work, dedication, and the trust our customers, collaborators, and colleagues have in all of us,” says Savage. “We really try to make every experience easy and seamless for the end user and our customers.”

She adds that it was humbling that other people are recognizing the efforts that her whole team is putting into the business, trying to develop those connections, and really putting their best foot forward.

“We strive for excellence, and it’s great that people are recognizing

that we want to be that voice in business where people can rely on us.”

Savage says the biggest differentiator at Corestock Industrial Supply Ltd. is their people. With its strong focus on building strong and lasting customer relationships, the company strives to make things

personable, creating seamless customer experiences, and ensuring its processes and policies align with their customers’ needs.

“Investing in our team members and making sure that their success is going to help uplift them and, ultimately, help the company. Our company president often says, ‘there isn’t anything we sell that our customers can’t get somewhere else.’ What keeps them coming back is our people.”

This was the first gala that Savage attended, and she says it was great to have the whole business community in one place.

“They put on such a great event,

and they made it easy for people to mingle, network, get to know each other, and have a good time in a setting that was a little bit more relaxed, friendlier, and open.”

She adds that she and the team will definitely be attending further events.

“I want to give kudos to the organizers of the event, and the organizers of the NRCA. They do a lot for the whole business community, and they deserve to be recognized in their efforts, and what they’ve also done for all of us. I think it’s important to support the other businesses that are being recognized.” l

Prince Rupert Indigenous Housing Project underway

This impressive project is being funded through BC Housing with a $12-million grant provided through the Indigenous

Housing Fund

Progress on the 70-unit housing project for Indigenous families and Elders near Prince Rupert, B.C. is well underway for the Lax Kw’alaams Band, the largest of the Tsmishian Nation with nearly 3,200 members.

Approximately 800 of these residents live in Lax Kw’alaams, with 1,300 in Prince Rupert, and others in the surrounding Vancouver area.

In June 2018, the Province— through BC Housing—issued a request for proposals through the Building BC Indigenous Housing Fund (IHF), for a $1.7 billion investment to deliver 3,500 new units of social housing—both on and off reserve- in B.C. The Lax

Kw’alaams Band identified a growing need to provide housing for low to moderate income members of its band and made a successful submission for IHF funding.

The project is funded by the province through BC Housing with a $12 million grant provided through the IHF. Additionally, BC Housing will provide approximately $500,000 in annual operating funding.

In a statement from BC Housing, this new site is in a residential neighborhood within a two-minute walk to a major transit route. It will combine a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom homes.

Elders impacted by the

residential school system will be provided new homes, which the Band has recognized as a part of reconciliation. The smaller homes will also be more affordable for elders and small families on a fixed income—both in terms of rent and overall operating costs. To accommodate elders and members living with disabilities, some of the two-bedroom homes will be barrier free and accessible.

Mustafa Kulkhan is the project manager hired by Laz Kw’alaams to run this well-needed development program.

He says the Band applied for affordable housing and the city

suggested several sites that were on a list to be redeveloped. The chosen site is a peaceful and secluded location, nestled in a picturesque setting near a tree-lined creek, surrounded by the forest and the river. The building will incorporate artwork on the exterior. The building will feature artistic elements on its exterior, seamlessly blending aesthetics with functionality to enhance its visual appeal.

“We are talking with several artists about the design of a mural for the main entrance of the building,” says Kulkhan. “We went with more natural colours that reflect the environment with the trees and creek nearby. On the inside, we plan to label all of the floors with artwork that will engage the youth.”

DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT

DYS Architecture is the architect on this impressive design-build project, of which IDL Projects is the client.

“Since about 2015, we’ve been quite actively involved in affordable

housing for the Indigenous community. Much of our work in northern areas of B.C. to date has been in Prince George with the Aboriginal Housing Society of Prince George,” says Darcy Imada, Associate at DYS Architecture.

“Within the actual apartments, the focus was on bigger units, with the majority having three bedrooms and then a few smaller two- and one-bedroom units. The bigger family units will have washers, dryers, dishwashers, and additional storage.”

David Simpson, DYS Architecture Founding Partner, says there will also be indoor and outdoor amenity spaces for gathering, outdoor basketball courts, and play areas.

“There will be a common laundry area and in-house office amenity space. Also, 20 per cent of the units will come fully accessible for wheelchair mobility. One-bedroom apartments are approximately 600 square feet, and three-bedroom apartments are about 900 square feet.”

Kulkhan says the rental cost range is $400 to $800 per month depending on the unit. “We want to provide safe, stable, clean, and dignified housing. This is a good way to start especially in a community like Prince Rupert where there are few options for affordable housing. Many of these people have been squeezed out of the market. If they cannot find housing and have to look elsewhere, this impacts individuals and their families and community.”

He adds that people have been asking for housing for a long time, and the Band stepped up to address this issue as it has been well documented.

“I think this building is going to have so many different generations of community members. In our mind, this project kickstarted the trend for more affordable rental housing. It will be a flagship for the area and a bright benefit for everybody in the long term. l
