Message from the Chair

MATTHEW MALLAM

he construction industry in Newfoundland and Labrador is extremely busy. From mining and infrastructure to the hydrogen generating facility proposal for Bay St. George and liquefied natural gas in Placentia Bay, major projects are spurring opportunities across various sectors. The province is also continuing to commit funding for hospitals and schools. Budget 2023 included more than $127 million for new schools in Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s, Cartwright in Labrador and Kenmount Terrace in St. John’s, as well as the redevelopment of the school in Pilley’s Island. Highway and roads infrastructure got a big boost this year with a record $1.4 billion being invested over the next five years. It’s the biggest amount of provincial government spending on roads in the province’s history. While this is all good news, the large amount of work also brings with it the challenge of finding enough workers moving forward. Attracting more people into the industry is critical to address the ongoing workforce shortage, which is a pressing issue across Canada. With fewer hires and an aging demographic leading to retirements, the industry is facing an uphill battle to deliver projects. Engaging youth to enter the construction industry is a big push for NLCA and a big goal of mine since I became involved with the association in 2018. Attracting younger generations now will ensure the long-term prosperity of the sector and also help with many companies needing to succession plan. As the current chair, engaging and reaching out to youth about working in the industry will be a priority for me. The construction industry offers a rewarding career with great companies and we need to get that message out there. I’m very optimistic about the outlook for the industry and while there are still some lingering pandemic challenges around cost premiums and supply chains, the industry looks poised for many years of activity. Finally, NLCA wouldn’t be able to operate without the many volunteers on our board of directors, committees and dedicated staff led by Rhonda Neary. I want to thank everyone for their time and commitment to the association. We look forward to seeing what happens in the next year, and we will continue to work hard and advocate on issues of importance for the construction industry at all levels of government as well as the private sector.

Message from the President/COO

RHONDA NEARY

ver the past many months, NLCA has continued supporting our construction industry by assisting member organizations, providing educational resources, and pursuing advocacy opportunities. We are working in partnership with the provincial and federal governments to ensure members across the province have the resources they need to build communities and infrastructure. On behalf of our association, I meet regularly with relevant ministers and decision-makers responsible for infrastructure, housing, and industry to discuss our priorities. NLCA continues to provide recommendations and advice to the government through participation in roundtables and larger industry-wide conversations. Recently, I joined our industry partners to speak to the newly appointed Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, Sean Fraser, to highlight the ways the federal government can support the growth of our industry and province. In addition to our work with government, NLCA continues to plan for the future to ensure our industry remains on the cutting edge. The global priority on building green — clean energy, carbon neutral, net zero — is crucial for our association. That is why we have established our Centre of Ecovation, a resource for NLCA members and buyers of construction who want to reduce their environmental impacts. This past spring, NLCA held its first annual Build Expo. This new initiative allowed members to showcase new and innovative products and technologies, especially in the green space, to buyers. It was a huge success with 2,500 participants from across the industry. We were also honoured to host Premier Andrew Furey at the event to showcase the importance of building green. I am most proud of our work through NLCA’s Centre of Excellence and the educational seminars conducted. We have helped businesses across the province better understand how to navigate processes from bidding to hiring foreign workers. Education plays an important role in fostering personal and professional growth, and the success of our industry. Personal and professional growth was also centre stage at NLCA’s inaugural Women in Construction Forum, where we developed a new Women in Construction strategic plan. We are excited to continue this work in making our industry a more inclusive space at our next forum this November. As we look ahead, the NLCA board of directors is embarking on a new strategic plan. This plan will outline our goals and objectives for the next four years. We look forward to sharing our ideas and initiatives with you in the coming months. We encourage members to follow us on all our social media channels for updates on events, initiatives, and opportunities. It is a pleasure to work on behalf of NLCA’s member organizations. Should you have any questions or feedback, do not hesitate to contact us. We are always here to help.

Message from Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador

HONOURABLE ANDREW FUREY

ongratulations to the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association on the latest edition of your industry magazine. Your association is an important partner of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. The construction industry is a critical driver of our province’s economy, providing jobs and playing a critical role in building a stronger, more resilient province. Our government is committed to investing in our province’s critical infrastructure. In Budget 2023, we made a historic investment in roads and highways of nearly $1.4 billion over five years, which will benefit all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. We also invested $1.1 billion in built infrastructure projects which will help generate $479 million in economic activity. These investments will help improve our health care system, support municipal infrastructure, and create new schools while, at the same time, create hundreds of new trades jobs. We are working to keep communities connected across our province and want to ensure our infrastructure can meet our changing demographic needs. Your industry plays a significant role in helping us achieve these objectives. The work you do is vital to our province’s success, and we are grateful for your contributions. We are committed to supporting the construction industry and building a better future for all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. Your association and its members are critical to helping us meet the needs of residents for generations to come, as well as supporting economic growth in our urban and rural communities.

THE GREEN HYDROGEN OPPORTUNITY Building a new industry in Newfoundland and Labrador BY SEAN LEET

26 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

World Energy GH2’s Project Nujio’qonik aims to be Canada’s first commercial green hydrogen / ammonia producer created from more than 3GW of renewable electricity in one of the world’s best wind resource regions. Nujio’qonik is the Mi’kmaw term for Bay St. George, and it means “where the sand blows” — certainly a fitting name for a wind energy project which will have a high level of participation from the Qalipu First Nation and the west coast Mi’kmaw community.

orld Energy GH2 is a consortium of partners with a wide range of specialized expertise, including strong local knowledge and relationships, expertise in marine transportation, and decades of experience in the production and distribution of sustainable fuels. Phase one of our plan is to develop 2GW of renewable electricity through two wind farms on the west coast of the island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador, with possible expansion thereafter. The sites will be developed with a staggered target completion schedule, seeing increased hydrogen production over time. The hydrogen will be converted into ammonia for shipping to global markets.

Project Nujio’qonik aims be the first project in the country to produce hydrogen and ammonia from renewable wind energy at scale, so we can achieve our commitments under the Canada — Germany Hydrogen Alliance, which was signed at our project site on August 23, 2022. The expected significant supply-demand imbalance for green hydrogen and ammonia is a tremendous opportunity as global demand is forecast to increase significantly. As an example, most European countries will not manage to meet their green hydrogen demands and national emission targets with relatively minimal domestic supply capability. Given our close proximity to Europe, this vast market need is an ideal opportunity for Newfoundland and Labrador. www.nlca.ca | 27

FEATURE PROJECT

Canada and Germany signed a Hydrogen Alliance agreement at the project site on August 23, 2022.

The hub of our operation will be the Port of Stephenville. Our port and our project will serve as a catalyst for other green hydrogen projects in Atlantic Canada and beyond. ADVANCING THE PROJECT This past spring, several key pieces have come together, including a partnership agreement with SK ecoplant, the environment and energy arm of SK Group, one of the world’s largest sustainable infrastruc28 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

ture companies. The investment agreement with SK ecoplant signifies the first overseas investment in a Canadian green hydrogen project. This investment is SK ecoplant’s first investment in a wind-togreen hydrogen project globally, and is a

clear indicator that Newfoundland and Labrador is rapidly taking centre stage in the clean energy industry. Not only did SK choose Canada, they chose our home, Newfoundland and Labrador, and they chose Project Nujio’qonik. SK ecoplant recognizes the benefits, advancement, and sophistication of this project, and we look forward to a prosperous partnership. We have also acquired the Port of Stephenville, a key asset for the production and shipping of green hydrogen and green ammonia, and is the first Canadian wind-tohydrogen project to have installed multiple meteorological evaluation towers (MET) for collecting wind data. These are important milestones in the development of our project — and in the launch of a new industry. We look forward to investing in, expanding, upgrading, and operating a world-class project site for clean energy development here in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The hub of our operation will be the Port of Stephenville. Our port and our project will serve as a catalyst for other green hydrogen projects in Atlantic Canada and beyond. The project area offers unique characteristics: • Strong onshore wind resource, • Deep-water marine facilities uniquely suited to hydrogen production and offloading, • Available harbour facilities for construction, operations and shipping, • Access to industrial water for hydrogen production, • Access to Crown Land, • Community support, and • Significant First Nations’ participation in the project. We’ve been working closely with Indigenous and community partners in the Stephenville and Bay St. George area, and have made significant progress. We are proud to have partnerships and memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with the Qalipu First Nation and with the Town of Stephenville. We’re also working closely with the local band councils to ensure alignment among all project stakeholders. We are focused on community benefits, ensuring the project will advance the economy and contribute to community prosperity in the region for years to come. As part of our partnership with Qalipu First Nation, we are helping facilitate a partnership between Qalipu and DOB Academy (The Netherlands) to develop industr y training and curriculum. The training will include micro-credential programs focused on wind energy, hydrogen, and green energy development. We’ve also been meeting with College of the North Atlantic since spring 2022, and we intend to develop scholarships for students accepted into the Wind Turbine Technician and Hydrogen Technician programs. Pending project approval, we are also planning to prehire students who have been accepted into the Wind Turbine Technician and Hydrogen Technician programs, and pay for their training. Fostering the development of the next generation of

energy industr y professionals is a key priority for our company.

TIMELINE Currently, we’re undergoing the regulatory approvals required for a project of this nature. We began the provincial Environmental Assessment process in spring 2022 and submitted our Environmental Impact Statement in August 2023. We submitted a Crown Lands bid in March 2023, and were advised in August 2023 that we have been awarded the Crown lands required for the project. Following environmental approval, our investors will make a final investment decision (FID) regarding whether the project will proceed. Following a successful FID, final permitting and construction can begin, and a new industry will be born in Newfoundland and Labrador.

SUPPLIER OPPORTUNITIES Project Nujio’qonik is expected to generate approximately 2,200 — 2,500 direct construction jobs, 300 ongoing operations jobs, and 4,400 — 5,000 indirect jobs. Construction will involve the development of the hydrogen / ammonia plant in Stephenville, and two wind farms in the Bay St. George area. The construction period for this phase of the project is expected to last about four years. A later phase of the project will add a third wind farm and will have an additional construction period. Following FID, we will work with industry partners to host supplier sessions and job fairs to engage with the people, services and suppliers required to stand up this new industry in our province. We will build this new, future-forward, green industry together.

GETTING CANADA GAMES READY BY JANICE LOVEYS

The City of St. John’s will be hosting the 2025 Canada Summer Games. As the country’s marquee multi-sport event for amateur sport, the Canada Games attracts thousands of athletes and visitors from across Canada. With plans for the games well underway, a new track and field facility will be a key venue to ensure athletes, coaches and volunteers will have a modern facility for training and competing.

his past April, the City of St. John’s awarded Lindsay Construction a design-build contract for the 2025 Jeux du Canada Games Track, Turf & Field and Centre of Excellence Facility. The facility has since been renamed the Fortis Canada Games Complex with Fortis becoming the first major sponsor of the 2025 Canada Summer Games. 30 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

Located at 6 Lambe’s Lane, the $34 million facility will be located adjacent to the Aquarena and sit on the former site of the 1977 Canada Games. Once completed, the project will deliver a legacy facility with a design that is prominent, sustainable, accessible, and engaging. The facility will allow athletes, coaches, and referees from across the province to de-

velop their athletic skills with the inclusion of a FIFA Certiﬁed artiﬁcial soccer turf, a Class II Certified athletics field 8-lane 400-metre track, and the Centre of Excellence. The Centre of Excellence building is located central to both the athletics field and soccer turf. All sections will be linked by a courtyard space divided into upper and lower gathering areas by a feature retain-

ing wall. The spaces will be linked via an exterior vertical lift and a feature stair built into the retaining block wall that will break up the natural five meter elevation change of the site. With the inclusion of provincial and territorial flags and plaques, the upper courtyard will be a focal point for sporting events and a venue for medal ceremonies. The lower courtyard will offer a sheltered gathering space for athletes and spectators consisting of landscaped tiers and a practice ‘kicking wall’ to supplement the soccer venue. The Centre of Excellence will include an indoor athletics training area which will overlook the soccer turf below. This training area will include a rubberized surface training track, a long jump pit, pole vault, throwing circles and strength and conditioning area. Also included are official’s rooms, a multi-purpose training area, as well as locker rooms and storage areas. The fa-

cility will be accessible and inclusive to all athletes and spectators with accessible locker rooms, gender-neutral washrooms and both an interior and exterior elevating device. As a legacy facility, the design and construction of the Centre of Excellence will incorporate durable materials such as CMU and smooth face block as well as energy efficient systems such as high-quality fenestrations, a geothermal system, LED lighting, and photovoltaic panels. Being compliant with LEED Silver criteria, the facility will be built sustainably, standing the test of time in terms of asset equity and lower operating costs. Other sustainable features of the facility include low flow fixtures, temperature

controls, occupancy sensors, and electric vehicle charging stations. The design phase of the project is nearing completion and construction has commenced. Sedimentation and erosion control measures have been installed; clearing, grubbing and site grading is complete; and water and sewer services for the Aquarena have been re-routed. Sitework will continue through the fall of 2023 and the track, field, and soccer turf will be substantially completed by fall of 2024. Construction of the Centre of Excellence facility will commence later this summer and continue through 2024. Commissioning will be complete in early 2025 with final completion expected by April 2025.

PEOPLE & PLACES

PREPARING FOR A CONSTRUCTION BOOM Major projects are coming to the Town of Stephenville BY CHERYL MAH

The once quaint, little village of Stephenville is set to undergo significant growth with a number of large-scale industry developments in the region announced and planned.

ocated on the shores of Newfoundland’s Bay St. George, the appeal of Stephenville is attracting investments, new industries, businesses and more residents. The town is a service access point for many surrounding communities with a current population of 8,000 which is expected to double in the next five to 10 years.

32 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

“It is very exciting. We’re starting to see some pre-construction activity happening in town,” says Mayor Tom Rose. “A lot of people are excited about the future of Stephenville.” Stephenville and the province were put on the world stage in 2022 when the town hosted the Prime Minster and German Chancellor along with other dignitaries for the signing of an agreement to stimulate the

development of green hydrogen production in Canada. The event was also the official launch of Canada’s first commercial large-scale green hydrogen facility at the Port of Stephenville. The $12 billion Project Nujio’qonik by World Energy Gh2 is a new 3GW wind farm which will deliver approximately 250,000 tons/year of hydrogen. The plan in-

cludes constructing 164 wind turbines along most of the peninsula. “The catalyst for this was a year ago when we had the World Energy summit in Stephenville. It will go down in history as the largest political signing in history of Newfoundland and Labrador,” says Rose. Newfoundland and Labrador has a wealth of resources (wind, water, land) and is well positioned to competitively produce and export green hydrogen. With the province’s strategic location, it offers numerous deepsea, ice-free ports along transcontinental shipping lanes and proximity to Europe. Following environmental approvals and permitting, World Energy GH2 plans to begin site preparation for construction of the green hydrogen plant. “I’m very confident that the processes of environment approvals and crown lands are going to happen. This is a green project that is going to allow our province and our country to play a critical role in net zero and to reach climate targets for 2030 and 2050,” says Rose. The green hydrogen plant is expected to go online in 2024 so exports of green hydrogen can start taking place in 2025, as called for in the Canada-Germany energy export agreement. World Energy GH2 also acquired the port this past June, which will undergo major upgrades to support the transport of hydrogen and ammonia produced in Newfoundland to global markets. The port is a key asset for the project’s development. “We will see investment at the port. We will see the port become an active and critical piece of infrastructure in the development of this world class project,” says Rose. “There is a plan to have a 600 person camp in Stephenville for trades to work on the hydrogen and wind farms. That’s not including the airport which will undergo a 10 year development and expansion.”

Another significant acquisition occurred in 2022 when Stephenville International Airport was approved for sale to Carl Dymond of Greater NL Partnership. Now known as

the Stephenville Dymond International Airport, the deal will create thousands of jobs and inject hundreds of millions of dollars into the community. Dymond’s plans report-

edly include a manufacturing facility for giant futuristic cargo drones, and the return of scheduled commercial passenger service to Stephenville. “I really anticipate over next five years that the growth of commercial, cargo and corporate activity in Stephenville will be significant,” says Rose. All these megaprojects will mean economic spinoff opportunities and will also spur private development. “Many other companies are looking into moving into Stephenville. There will be lots of private development happening in 2024 alongside these major projects,” says Rose, adding council is currently exploring and mapping out future expansion plans for Stephenville to accommodate the expected growth. Local activity is picking up with housing developments and some new commercial buildings underway. Notable projects include the Aboriginal Women’s Network’s $4 million transition house and a new $13 million collaborative care clinic. “We don’t anticipate major construction happening until October 2023,” he says. “Once these major projects get final investments, I anticipate a lot of companies will be coming very quickly into town.” With so much work coming down the pipe, finding enough labour may be a challenge but Rose is optimistic that they have the capacity to meet the demand. “We have 30,000 seasonal workers that work across Canada and then we have about 8,000-10,000 from Western Newfoundland. People will be interested in staying local with jobs at home and working in Stephenville,” says Rose, adding the long-term opportunities will benefit many construction companies and having support from the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association will be important. “This is a year of a lot of transfers of assets and government regulations to get through. It’s starting to pick up this year but 2024 is going to be a year that’s going to create a lot of buzz in town,” says Rose. “In Newfoundland, we produce more GDP per capita than any other province in the country. Newfoundland is playing a critical role in the economy. We have a great oil and gas sector, mining, fisheries, tourism and the greatest gift is our people.” 34 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

HALL OF FAME: ROY PARSONS BY CHERYL MAH

At 81-years-young, Roy Parsons is an industry veteran whose family has a long history in construction. As a professional engineer, general contractor and steel fabricator, Parsons has worked on many projects around Newfoundland and Labrador over his career and contributed to the growth of the province.

is contribution and dedication to the industry was recognized by the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association (NLCA) at its 2022 Rock Awards Gala where he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. “It’s nice to be recognized for all that I have done over the years. It was certainly appreciated. I’ve been in the business for a long time,” says Parsons. A founding member of the association in 1968, Parsons says the original small group of contractors had a vision to improve the industry and that “NLCA has been a very big success story” from the outset because of that vision. “Before the association was founded, it was just disarray and chaos in the whole construction industry. We needed one voice to speak on behalf

36 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

of the industry,” he recalls. “The NLCA brings people together to be better — more effective, and has helped the province to grow and prosper. It speaks for construction and acts in the best interest of the local industry.” He notes that the founding group included Labrador when they incorporated the name of the association, and this was well before the province officially changed its name in 2001. “We were visionaries — looking into the future.” Today, the association represents more than 600 member firms and offers a variety of services including education/ training, networking and advocacy. “The association has been an important part of the province’s growth,” he says. Born in St John’s, Parsons graduated as a civil engineer from Nova Scotia Technical College in 1965. After graduation, he came back to Newfoundland and started working with his father, who was a carpenter with a small general contracting firm in residential and commercial construction.

Parsons was involved in general contracting for 17 years before he branched into engineering and then steel fabrication in the early 80s. He became a shareholder in both Parsons Engineering and Steelfab Industries. His father’s company WH Parsons changed its mandate to real estate holdings when the Parsons Group of Companies was formed with the addition of Parsons Engineering and Steelfab Industries. Parsons remains a director of all three companies. He’s not officially retired, yet. “I’m still in good health and sound mind,” says Parsons, who is an avid golfer, curler and motorcycle rider. His daughter, Linda and son, Bill (who lives in England) are both involved with the companies. Linda also currently sits on the NLCA board of directors. Parson says he loves the province and is proud that he stayed locally to build his career. “We need smart, young, welleducated people who are willing to work

hard and contribute to the province. We can’t lose all our talent. Everybody thinks they have to leave Newfoundland to be to become somebody but that’s not true. There are many opportunities within our province — right here at home.” More people leaving the province than arriving has been a longstanding issue, which is being compounded by an aging demographic. And as demand continues to soar for construction workers, the skilled trades shortage crunch will only get worse. It’s the most significant problem facing the industry, according to Parsons. “We just don’t have enough technically trained people in construction,” he says. As a mentor to many in the industry, Parsons understands the value and impact of encouraging and supporting the younger generation to succeed. “I’m glad I can pass along my knowledge. I like to contribute wherever I can — share my years of experience or offer suggestions if asked,” he says.

LEADING THE WAY BY CHERYL MAH

When Tonya Knopp began her undergraduate studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, engineering was not her first choice.

ursuing a career in medicine was her initial goal but after she graduated with a Bachelor of Physical Education/Kinesiology, her path took her serendipitously into engineering. She went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering from Dalhousie University in 2004 and hasn’t looked back since. Now, as the first woman manager for building construction at the City of St John’s, Knopp is proving what is possible in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) field for women. “Engineering is a very exciting career,” she says. “There is continuous learning and evolving as the world changes around us. I love working on projects that have a positive

38 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

impact on the community that I live in. There is a lot of pride and accomplishment in what I do, and I see it every day when I commute throughout the city for work and pleasure.” As a professional engineer, Knopp has 20 years of experience in the construction industry. She started as a project engineer with Pinchin LeBlanc Environmental and continued to advance her career with different organizations in project and engineering manager roles. She has worked in both public and private sector with her main areas of expertise in linear and vertical infrastructure projects. Knopp joined the city in 2018. Being the first woman hired to manage the facility engineering department is a huge accomplishment. “It is a challenging role, and I welcome the challenges it brings,” says Knopp. “Having women in management positions with decision-making authority demonstrates that the City of St. John’s is making strides towards gender equality in the workplace. We are after all just as capable as men!” In the last five years, there has been a steady increase in the hiring of women at the city. Knopp says many women have been promoted to supervisors or managers internally as the city wants to be a part of the equity conversation. “My experience at the City of St. John’s has been very positive. I feel respected amongst my peers and even more so, appreciated for the skillset that I bring to the table. I love working on building construction projects that make a difference to the community, whether they be recreational in nature such as community centres and parks, fire stations, maintenance facilities, water and wastewater treatment facilities, they all have an impact on the way we live day-to-day and leave a legacy behind that shows how we are evolving in the way we do things,” she says. Although gender balance in STEM fields has improved, Knopp acknowledges there is still room for improvement. “There is still a resounding issue with women working in construction feeling like they are valued and deserving of a seat at the table. Some men still operate in an ‘old boys club’ manner, and they are intimated and insecure about educated women having a strong voice. They don’t support women or

stand up for them in challenging situations and this can lead to many women making decisions to leave the industry in pursuit of a career where they do feel valued and respected,” she says. Knopp’s own experience to date has been mostly positive, but as a woman working in a predominantly male profession, she

has had to adapt her managerial style and approach to people and projects throughout her career. “I can say that my journey has been easier than some of my women colleagues,” she says. “But I still to this day get the occasional comment from men that women don’t belong in construction. I still have to listen to

Role models, diversity training and mentoring opportunities are all critical to attract and retain young female engineers. men whistling or making comments about me while on site. When I was younger, I ignored them, but now I address them, and I don’t enable the behaviour to continue. I want to be a steward for young women who are interested in making a career working as an engineer in construction.” Role models, diversity training and mentoring opportunities are all critical to attract and retain young female engineers. “Role models for young female engineers coming out of school are extremely important for our industry. It only takes one bad experience to discourage a young woman 40 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

from continuing with her career in engineering. That is why I take an active role in the community and sit on a variety of different boards and panels where I am able to demonstrate my leadership skills and potentially create an avenue for opportunities for youth to learn more about engineering and the construction industry in general,” says Knopp, who is a board director for the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association. “We need to encourage women that they belong in this field, support them, and develop a culture of inclusion and diversity.”

As workers retire and fewer new hires are made, the construction industry is facing a massive need for skilled professionals. Engineers are in high demand and the industry needs to drive change collectively in meaningful ways to encourage women and other underrepresented groups to look at construction careers. “It’s not going to happen overnight, but if we develop a strategy to drive the change, identify the cultural pillars that form the foundation of the strategy and reinforce it, we will get buy in and momentum to make change,” says Knopp. Her advice to women considering engineering as a career choice? “I would strongly encourage any young woman to pursue a career in engineering. If you are interested in science, physics, math, and how things work in general, then engineering can be a very inspiring and rewarding experience,” she says. “If you pause for a moment and look at the environment around you, an engineer was a part of making that happen. There are countless opportunities and no limit to where you can go and the things you can do.”

THE NEED TO PRIORITIZE ENERGY EFFICIENCY BY COLLEEN O’KEEFE

What’s new in the building energy sector? We hear media reports on a daily basis on electrification and fuel switching, greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and carbon footprint. At a recent national conference (Retrofit Canada) held in Montreal, sessions centred on how to adapt existing buildings for energy efficiency.

hile emphasis has been on energy efficient design and construction of new buildings for some time, focus is shifting significantly towards energy improvements on existing buildings. With millions of existing properties, spanning a range of construction timeframes, many structures

42 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

do not meet current energy codes. To meet future net zero targets, existing building stock must be adapted to reduce energy consumption and support GHG reduction. Deep energy retrofit (DER) projects, those targeting energy reductions 50 per cent or higher from baseline energy use, are being piloted and implemented

throughout North America across all building sectors. Planning for any retrofit work should be given thoughtful consideration and include the building condition, long term planning, energy targets as well as occupancy needs. As expressed by participants at the Retrofit Conference, the best energy retrofits take a

holistic approach to property management and sustainability. Where possible, upgrades and improvements should incorporate accessibility and inclusion components as well. Building codes are now under review for the 2025 code cycle, with consideration and inclusion when alterations to existing buildings are completed. In order to meet targets for GHG and net zero, it’s acknowledged that energy efficient design must be applied to existing building stock. While building code application can include for alterations, generally code requirements are not widely applied. These new code requirements, where adopted through legislation, will drive the retrofit sector exponentially. Some jurisdictions in Canada are already requiring specific energy targets, ahead of national building code requirements.

At NLHC, we are actively engaged in energy efficiency improvements in the maintenance and operation of the existing property portfolio as well as incorporating energy efficient design in new construction. Energy use analysis and benchmarking for existing properties help target units that can benefit from related upgrades on components such as the building envelope or heating systems. Project manager Ashely Murphy says, “Analyzing our consumption data is an invaluable tool in ensuring our housing portfolio is energy efficient and provides for long term sustainability”. For existing properties, planning and upgrades are underway to advance electrification and fuel-switching as well as improvements to building construction. Upgrades are completed during vacancy repairs, regular maintenance as well as

incorporation during larger capital works improvements. Where possible, units are upgraded while maintaining occupancy. Existing heating systems are evaluated towards end of service life for optimal replacement systems. Oil-fired furnace systems are assessed in terms of performance and efficiency and electrification options such as replacement electric furnaces or electric baseboard heating, are evaluated. Heat pumps are being piloted in a number of apartment buildings in common spaces. These systems have the added benefit of providing much appreciated cooling in the warmer months. Examples of improvements to the building envelope include increased wall or attic insulation and detailing to reduce air leakage and improve air tightness. New window installation requires that products meet CSA Standard A440 as well as

minimum performance ratings. Hot water tanks are Energy Star rated and include insulating blankets; hot water pipes are insulated to reduce thermal losses. The upgrading of lighting to LED bulbs is being carried out throughout the portfolio. In partnership with NL Power and the TakeCharge program, NLHC delivered energy saver kits to more than 1,700 households. These kits included items such as LED bulbs, receptacle and switch gaskets (to reduce air leakage), pipe insulation and low flow shower heads. Tenants appreciate the awareness around energy efficiency and the incremental reductions in energy consumption and energy bills that these items in the saver kits provide. For new construction, energy efficient design and construction is an integral part of the building project. NLHC is constructing new residential units across the province, both on the island and in Labrador. These units are typically multi-unit two-storey properties. As funding is linked to programs under the

44 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

National Housing strategy, the energy performance of these units will meet or exceed the requirements of NBC 9.36 and/or the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB). Energy modelling is initiated and reviewed at the design stage of the project in order to confirm energy performance metrics and evaluate specific components for inclusion into the construction. Blower door testing is then conducted at the end of construction and prior to occupancy to confirm air tightness. Energuide evaluations are also completed on selected units to confirm rated energy use consumption and document building construction details. Once units are occupied, energy consumption is tracked and monitored to confirm targeted metrics are being met or exceeded. This post-construction analysis has supported the energy

metrics and modelling targets. To ensure a holistic approach to building design and construction, feedback from tenants in terms of indoor thermal comfort is sought after a period of occupancy has passed. The building retrofit sector is poised for significant growth and there are many resources available on-line to assist a property owner with assessing options for energy improvements. These include Natural Resources Canada Energy Efficiency (canada.ca); carbon footprint online calculators, Energuide and others. In planning for energy improvements, it important to know the physical asset, building archetype and building energy performance. There is lots of work to do and NLHC is focused on building and maintaining affordable, energy efficient, sustainable housing stock.

Colleen O’Keefe, P.Eng., is currently in the position of director of Engineering at Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation. She is also a member of the Standing Committee on Energy Efficiency (SC-EE), as part of the National Building Code development process.

SUPPORTING LOCAL BY AMY FITZPATRICK

The Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) manufacturing sector makes, builds, and produces many products, including food and beverage items, furniture, building supplies and finishings, boats and ships, safety products, 3D-printed products and prototypes, and so much more.

ut unless you work in the manufacturing sector, you may not realize the local sector’s impact on your day-to-day life or how farreaching and diverse it is. With almost 600 manufacturing businesses operating in NL, they have a big influence on our communities and economy. As the province’s manufacturing industry association, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) has worked diligently across Canada for more than 150 years to boost the sector’s profile and prosperity by highlighting who manufacturers are, the types of products they produce, their impact on our communities and the economy, 48 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

and advocating for the policies that matter to facilitate manufacturers’ improved competitiveness, profitability, and prosperity. According to CME and Statistics Canada, in 2021, the manufacturing sector in NL directly accounted for more than three per cent of the provincial gross domestic product, contributing more than $4 billion to the provincial economy and employing over 10,000 NL workers in high-skill, high-wage jobs with a weekly earnings average of $1,207 — up 5.7 per cent in 2022, according to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

MANUFACTURED RIGHT HERE In 1990, CME’s NL division (CME NL)

created a program to support, promote, and strengthen the manufacturing sector in NL — aptly named — Manufactured Right Here (MRH). The province-wide program was hugely successful and one of the country’s first provincial “support local” programs. “We are proud to see the Manufactured Right Here logo on products across NL. This is what the logo was designed for — to give credit to companies that support local families and producers in the manufacturing industry, right here in Newfoundland and Labrador,” says David Haire, vice-president of CME NL. The program’s vision was to unite NL products under a single banner so consumers

could identify products built or made right here in Newfoundland and Labrador and choose to support local businesses owned and operated by their family members and neighbours, keeping their hard-earned dollars in their communities and the provincial economy. “We want to bring the Manufactured Right Here brand back to the forefront of consumers’ minds when they are making their purchasing decisions,” says Haire, “because supporting local businesses is also supporting your neighbours. We have the power to boost our economy by supporting our producers.” Manufacturers across the province display the Manufactured Right Here (MRH) logo on their products, signage, and packaging, including Distinctive Interiors, Kento Windows & Doors, Concrete Products Ltd., Sutreen Hardwoods & Molding, Molson Coors Beverage Company, Browning Harvey, Chatman’s Bakery, Restwell Mattresses, Country Ribbon, and many more. These companies use the CME-trademarked MRH symbol because they know that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians take pride in our province, the work we do, and the products we make and build, and that local support goes a long way in ensuring success. Sean Kennedy, chair of CME NL’s advisory board of directors and general manager of Atlantic operations for Molson Coors, says Molson Coors was the first big brewer in Newfoundland and Labrador to add the MRH logo to its products. As a second-generation Molson employee (by marriage) and proud NLer, he’s very proud to connect Molson Coors to the MRH brand. “It’s nice to say that it’s Manufactured Right Here because it is,” says Kennedy, “It’s made by Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.”

REACH REACH FOR FOR THE THE SKY SKY

FOUNDATION FOR BUILDERS Since the pandemic and recent infrastructure interruptions, CME NL recognizes that the MRH mandate is more important than ever and is pushing to reinvigorate the program with a focus on consumers and other businesses. Haire explains there are mutual benefits for the construction industry to support local manufacturers and buy locally made goods whenever possible. He says, “Supporting local makers improves the province’s productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness. It also strengthens the job market for skilled tradespeople, providing more opportunities for workers to stay in the province — highly-skilled and soughtafter workers who service both the manufacturing and construction industries.” He explains that this crossover can reduce the skilled labour shortage for both sectors allowing NL companies to provide better cost, quality, and delivery times and reduce the need for outside contractors, keeping dollars in the pockets of local companies, workers, and communities. Mike Sinnicks, president of Sutreen Hardwood & Molding in Eastport, explains, “Bouncing back from the pandemic and getting the workers we need has been hard. And we’ve noticed some customers have started buying from mainland companies — we’ve been feeling it, but we’re pushing through. The influx of skilled Ukrainian workers has been a huge help. By adding their talent to our team, we’ve increased our production. We need to rebuild our local customer base, so we’re delighted to see CME NL push to revitalize the MRH program.”

LOCAL INNOVATION Relying too heavily on other markets to provide goods can have dire consequences when critical infrastructure fails to deliver. And the recent B.C. port workers’ strike cemented the importance of supporting local producers and ensuring we have a strong manufacturing sector here at home. CME estimates that the B.C. port strike delayed upwards of $500 million in import/export business per day. Raw material deliveries and products that export to other markets through the West Coast ports are being delayed, and it’s expected that companies right across Canada and the world will feel the repercussions well into the fall and winter seasons, including here at home. Luckily, Newfoundland and Labrador’s resiliency and grit have allowed our province to thrive and persevere through challenges and adversity for generations. We adapt. We use what we have to make what we need, as we saw during the pandemic when much of Canada’s economic activity stopped in March 2020. Manufacturers continued to operate, including right here in NL. They stepped up

to meet the need for essential supplies by ramping up production or shifting business models to make personal protective equipment and other essential products. “Our potential is boundless, especially when we come together and support each other,” says Haire.

IT’S A WIN WIN Manufacturing isn’t limited to industrial assembly lines; the industry is changing, and changes in the workforce since the pandemic have solidified the need to evolve. The future of manufacturing includes innovative solutions such as advanced manufacturing and 3D printing, participating in solutions to reduce carbon emissions, incorporating automation and robotics to reduce workers’ physical strain and injury rates, and providing high-skill, high-paying jobs with growth opportunities.

THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP BY DEANNE OLIVER

Employers across the country are having difficulty in finding employees to fill highly skilled positions in technology and trades. It is essential for the economy of Newfoundland and Labrador that we both address the impending crunch and ensure that current trade and technology training is in line with the needs of industry.

t is also important that the youth of our province develop these industry necessary skills, as targeted training leads directly to jobs. According to Statistics Canada, the unemployment rate for young people across the country is staggering. Skills Canada is devoted to ensuring that our youth are better 52 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

prepared for the transition from school to the workplace, ensuring economic diversity across Newfoundland and Labrador. Within Canada, the labour supply is not meeting the demand. Newfoundland and Labrador have all the facilities necessary to train our youth, however the information and awareness is not widespread enough

to encourage the students to take these routes. A lack of information regarding the opportunities in trades and technology prohibits many young Newfoundlanders and Labradoreans from considering a career in skilled trades and technologies. Skills Canada actively and directly fights to alter this problem by encouraging students

to develop a higher level of excellence in skilled trades and technologies. Skills Canada helps make these occupations more visible and tangible for youth, parents, and educators. With partnership support, Skills Canada is increasing the awareness of trades and technologies through such projects as competitions, Young Women’s Conferences, in-school presentations, Enter:Preneur Program, career Showcases, annual Skilled Career Day and many others. Together, with our supporters from the public and private sectors, we will continue to create initiatives that will change how Canadians perceive careers in skilled trades and technologies.

SCNL’S GOALS • To promote skilled trades and technological careers to youth, women, and the community. • To form a dynamic partnership of industry, labour, education, and government devoted to developing workplace-ready skills in youth. • To improve the image and status of skilled trades and technology as well as the selfesteem and achievement levels of people who pursue them.

SCNL MAJOR PROGRAMS

• Careers Awareness in Trades and Technology Presentations: Presentations to junior and high school students, parent councils, youth at risk, teachers (current and graduating) and community organizations on the importance and awareness of skilled trades and technology. • Skilled Futures Program offers panprovincial career exploration, hands-on experiential learning, and mentorship opportunities. The Skilled Futures series is a collection of one-day career exploration events offering junior and senior high school students the chance to participate in interactive, experiential learning in a variety of career pathways.

Engaging youth early and encouraging career exploration in construction is critical to meet skilled labour demand.

It is crucial that youth of this province have an opportunity to explore skilled careers and gain all the incredible benefits that apprenticeship offers. • Annual Intermediate Skills Challenge offers many of the competitions that are offered on a Provincial level for students in the intermediate grades (7-9). SCNL is the only member of the organization to offer competitions at this level. • Provincial Technical Committee Workshop ensures that technical committee members have all the resources / information that they need to effectively prepare for the competitions, and to thank them for all their hard work. • Provincial Skilled Career Day: 35-40 provincial competitions in employability skills, trades, and technologies for all levels of students, Try-A-Trade demonstrations, tours, a Young Women’s Conference, a partners luncheon, leadership conferences, and an awards ceremony. • National Skills Competition: Gold medal winners from the provincial skills competition have an opportunity to compete against the best and the brightest in the country and highlight the level of skill of Newfoundland and Labrador. • International Skills Competition: Newfoundland and Labrador was represented at the internationals in 2001 (Korea — Car Painting) 2003 (Switzerland — Manufacturing) 2007 (Japan — Aesthetics) 2011 (London — Graphic Design), 2019 (Russia-Cloud Computing), 2022 (FinlandHairstyling). • Community Presentations: During the year staff is involved in community career fairs, technology exhibits, conventions and annual general meetings and industry events to promote the mission, goals, and programs of SCNL. • National Skilled Trade and Technology Week: During the first week of November, SCNL hosts activities to promote skilled careers, distributes an activity package to schools in the province to highlight

54 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

skilled careers, hosts a Skills Work for Women Conference, an Essential Skills Challenge in schools across the province, and Enter:Preneur Programs including an apprenticeship conference. SCNL provides schools with information on organizing events in their own schools and hosts a media event to promote the importance of skilled trades in our economy. • Enter:Preneur Program: encouraging youth to consider skilled careers as excellent pathways to business ownership.

NEW SUMMER EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM The Youth Apprenticeship Summer Employment Program (YASP) in collaboration with Department of Apprenticeship, will provide grade 10/11 students the opportunity to work in seven-week summer placements in apprenticeable trade careers in in-demand fields. Participating students will experience careers in trades first-hand, will attain hours towards their apprenticeships and benefit from professional development opportunities, guest speaker / mentors, employer and peer networking, major project / industry tours and skills for success activities.

GOALS • To encourage youth to consider and learn more about careers in skilled trades, • To provide youth with paid, hands-on work experience in skilled trades, • To provide youth with the opportunity to enter an Apprenticeship in High school and accumulate hours towards their journey person status,

• To lead to the development of a comprehensive Youth Apprenticeship Program in Newfoundland and Labrador. SCNL is well-positioned within the community to engage stakeholders to design and deliver an effective Youth Apprenticeship Summer Employment Program. SCNL would design a process that alleviates the heavy burden and promotes the significant benefits of YASP to employers and unions, including the opportunity to shape youth’s skills to meet specific business needs, to support youth education and training, and to help address the overall skilled trades labour market.

CONCLUSION We are excited about the potential to partner with community stakeholders on the development of a pathway to youth apprenticeship. It is crucial that youth of this province have an opportunity to explore skilled careers and gain all the incredible benefits that apprenticeship offers. With 25 years of successful programming, SCNL has proven its ability to engage youth, educators, industry, and government and is optimistic about the possibilities for Newfoundland and Labrador youth and the opportunities for business to influence and support skills training in the province. SCNL is leading the charge to develop a fully skilled and talented workforce and looks forward to engaging the community to spread the message that occupations in skilled trades and technologies are excellent pathways to success.

Deanne Oliver is youth apprenticeship manager at Skills Canada. She sees the incredible

benefits of encouraging youth to explore different career pathways, the prospect of helping high school students open doors to apprenticeship in a wide range of exciting careers is incredibly valuable and very rewarding.

LABOUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR UKRAINIANS

n 2023, Work Global Canada marked its 11th year of providing high-quality services to various clients across different industry sectors. It is our personal mission to create employment opportunities for Ukrainian newcomers and to facilitate their integration into their new communities. To this end we have helped numerous Ukrainians find rewarding careers and access essential settlement services. Our role in facilitating the employment of many new Ukrainian arrivals in Atlantic Canada is a source of pride for us. We have helped them find opportunities in diverse industry sectors, such as healthcare, hospitality, marine, and particularly construction.

UKRAINIAN SUPPORT PROGRAM (USP) When the war in Ukraine started, we immediately initiated a dedicated humanitarian effort and in July of 2022 the Ukrainian Support Program (USP) was born. Karina Humeniuk, originally from the Ukraine, is our project manager, planning and organizational development for this program and is key to facilitating employer business relations and recruitment efforts. Under this program we have and continue to successfully place Ukrainian workers in such companies as RJG construction, Farrells Excavating, Carol Lake Metal Works Limited, Sutreen Hardwoods, Eastern Roof, and Floor truss.

Our gratitude goes to the exemplary employers who have facilitated the integration of Ukrainian immigrants and their families into their new surroundings, despite the linguistic challenges. These companies have demonstrated exceptional care and commitment to make Ukrainian families feel comfortable and valued in their new setting. We also appreciate the positive impact that these diverse and talented individuals have on our society and economy, as they enrich our culture and contribute to our growth. Ukrainian newcomers are coming with a wealth of skills and talent. With a national approved open work permit under the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency

travel (CUAET) immigration policy these skilled workers are ready to contribute to local employers, and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is offering a wage subsidy to help bring them on board. We recognize that there is a labour shortage in most of the industries, not only in our province but across all Canada, which is why we must explore new solutions to ensure that our businesses have the workforce they need to thrive. One of the solutions is the usage of immigrant workers. We understand that this may be a new concept for some businesses, but we believe that it is an important step in addressing the labour shortage. Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone can contribute to our economy and way of life. It is our hope that businesses will embrace this opportunity and work with us to build a stronger economy for all. Many employers who used our service to recruit qualified candidates have shared

their positive experiences with us. They expressed their gratitude and satisfaction for finding the right talent for their businesses. We are proud to have helped them achieve their goals and improve their performance. “In May of 2023, our company, RJG Construction Ltd., offered employment to six Ukrainian refugees on one of our construction sites. They accepted our offer, and it has been a positive experience for all involved parties. Our company has gained hard-working, dedicated employees, who in turn, are gaining valuable construction work experience. It is our intention should additional employment opportunities develop for our company to consider Ukrainian refugees as potential candidates to fill these positions. Furthermore, we

encourage and recommend any companies needing employees to consider this option” said of RJG Construction management. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and we will continue to strive for excellence in all that we do. Work Global Canada Inc. is committed to continuing to connect job seekers with our partner clients, and looks forward to helping even more Ukrainians find fulfilling employment in the future. “We have the expertise and experience to provide solutions for various challenges and opportunities in the business sector. We are looking forward to provide successful employment matching for more companies across Atlantic Canada,” says Wanda Cuff Young, vice president of operations.

ENCOURAGING WOMEN INTO TRADES BY LORI LEDREW

Since the inception of The Office Advance Women Apprentices (OAWA) in 2009, there has been significant advancements in accessibility for women in trades.

AWA has played an integral role in advocating for equity and inclusion in the workplace in various construction, manufacturing and industrial settings for women across Newfoundland and Labrador. As part of the wrap-around support services offered, OAWA staff support and educate employers and unions on the importance of hiring women in the trades. It is imperative that these workplaces are inclusive, psychologically and culturally safe environments. This model ensures on-

60 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

ground support for women to succeed and advance in the under-represented skilled trades. Tradeswomen need to know that if they are struggling, that there is an outreach in place where they can get guidance and direction. To date OAWA has nearly 2200 tradeswomen from Newfoundland and Labrador registered in its database and have assisted with more than 840 employment opportunities, assisted 217 tradeswomen to reach Red Seal status and currently have around 800 women advancing through their ap-

prenticeship. OAWA has built a database that tracks all aspects of tradeswomen status, has engaged with over 700 employers, assisted women with apprenticeship issues and issues they face on the job site. We have, however, seen a reduction in the number of tradeswomen entering the trades due to the downturn of the economy in Newfoundland and Labrador. The COVID- 19 pandemic also contributed to an exodus of tradeswomen leaving their profession to provide a more stable and secure income for their families,

when many construction projects were stalled. The question now lies — how do we support and encourage women and girls to enter into a trades profession where they are grossly underrepresented? Skilled trades need to be presented as a viable career option throughout early education, when children and youth begin career exploration. We have heard from many tradeswomen that they were encouraged to go to university, because they excelled academically but once enrolled they realized that this career path wasn’t for them and then chose to explore a career in the trades. Community organizations such as Skills Canada and Women in Resource Development Corporation (WRDC) are doing outstanding work in this area, but more needs to be done to change the narrative so that girls can envision themselves in hardhats and steel toes as clearly as they can in any other profession. Women have identified lack of adequate child care as a barrier to entering the trades. A report generated by the Canadian Building Trades Union (CBTU) in January 2022 states

that “Due to barriers in accessing childcare, many tradespeople — and disproportionately tradeswomen — are unable to work or have considered leaving the construction industry altogether. Ensuring childcare services support parents in the skilled trades will create a stronger workforce and enable it to continue to grow, and attract more diversity to the industry.” Information collected from focus groups indicated that issues around limited daycare provider hours that don’t correspond with the shifts they work and long-term commitments to one childcare facility that don’t correspond with the cyclical nature of construction are just a couple of issues that tradeswomen face as a barrier to entering the workforce. Removing barriers to access to education is also a key component of successful recruitment and retention of women in skilled trades. In 2011 OAWA came on board as administrators of the Long Harbour Diversity Fund — a partnership between Vale Inco and the Resource Development Trades Council where every unionized employee on site contributed

20 cents per hour worked to the fund. This fund was then used to set up a $10,000 (per successful applicant) “diversity scholarship” for women who wanted to enroll in a trades-based training program. The applicants had to be non-EI eligible, attend a union college, and complete training in a trade consistent with the Vale Long Harbour Recruitment requirements. OAWA offered proposal writing support to women in applying for the scholarship, and promoted the program at career fairs, high schools, and women’s organizations. As women finished their pre-apprenticeship training, OAWA helped the participants find work. Throughout the course of the program, 157 received scholarships and with an employment success rate of 90 per cent. (Using Balance to Build, 2017) This program can be easily replicated and expanded upon. The success rate speaks for itself. While getting women interested and enrolled in trades programs by educating them and removing barriers such as childcare and access to educational funding are critical, we cannot overlook the barriers

Grassroots support for tradeswomen has proven to increase success in adjusting to male-dominated workplaces. that exist for the women once they enter the workforce as trades professionals. While there is no doubt we have made great strides, (reflected by the number of supportive employers OAWA works with on a daily basis) lack of inclusion, unconscious bias and microaggressions are still prevalent for many women who enter a non-traditional trades profession. In response to this, OAWA has launched a new program to educate employers, journeypersons and supervisors about the importance of a healthy mentorship relationship when an apprentice, more specifically a female apprentice, joins their team.

workshop will educate employers to identify and address these barriers as they occur. Grassroots support for tradeswomen has proven to increase success in adjusting to male-dominated workplaces. Organizations such as OAWA and WRDC work diligently to provide wrap-around support to address any issues that arise on worksites. Access to this one-on-one support for both the tradeswoman and employer can make all the difference in successfully securing and retaining employment in the sector. There is no question that the engage-

ment of women in skilled trades will be essential in filling the forecasted labour shortage in the years to come. It is estimated that by 2027 there will be a shortage of 29,000 trades professionals across the countr y (BuildForce Canada). Acting now to break down barriers and create safe and supportive workplaces for tradeswomen is not only the right thing to do, it makes good business sense. While we have much to celebrate, there remains a considerable amount of work to be done.

DUAL BARRIERS WOMEN FACE IN CONSTRUCTION BY TONYA WHITTLE

Women comprise only 11.5 per cent of the workforce in the construction industry — with just 1.5 per cent of those jobs being on site, while the other jobs are project and administrative based.

s more companies are moving toward diversity and seeking support, I worked in partnership with the NLCA to hear directly from women about the challenges they are facing going into, and growing, within the construction industry. The results

64 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

showed the duality many women are facing. The first barrier we found was the social and cultural conditioning around women that is less industry or company centric and more society centric. Girls are often discouraged from entering the construc-

tion industry as a result of strong social and cultural conditioning that shapes us from a young age. Gender norms have perpetuated a narrative around what a woman should be. The limitations and stigma assigned to women is based on stereotypical gender roles. With the UN’s most recent

The duality that women face in male dominated organizations is that they are contending with both men and women holding them back. report stating equality won’t be reached for 300 years, we must understand that creating equal opportunities needs to be a priority for all organizations. The patriarchy is a system that was designed to support men and exclude everyone else, some of this was intentional, while others happened as a result of the accepted male and female roles in society. We sort of “got here” by design, if you will. Our corporate and government systems were in place long before the women’s movement. Understanding these social and cultural forces can help companies, as well as the industry as a whole, rebrand to be truly diverse and inclusive by creating policies, systems and belonging for women. Change doesn’t come without challenge but our solutions are found when we embrace the challenge and ask how we can be a part of building something that works for everyone, not just a few. Within this barrier is the unconscious bias barrier. Through research, conversations and training sessions we found that many men talked about their lack of understanding the issues that surround women. Men need to understand their unconscious bias towards women, from a conditioning standpoint, around belonging, respectful workplaces, the difference between equality and equity to create a truly inclusive industry. One of the consistent challenges we heard from women is that men aren’t allies. While they didn’t do things to hurt a woman’s career, they also felt that they weren’t supported by men. Many men didn’t understand the extent of the issues, nor how to address issues of stereotyping or even inappropriate behaviour they witnessed. These types of microaggressions create harm. To support women inside the industry it’s important

to acknowledge unconscious bias, how it shows up and to create dialogue and bystander and allyship training for men. Another barrier and one that creates the duality for women is what is known as Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS) — where women hold each other back and cut each other down. TPS is not exclusive to women, men also hold the scissors that cut women down, but in many cases we heard that many female mentors, coworkers, and bosses were the ones who discouraged, intimidated, cut down, or held back women. The challenge with TPS is that women see each other as competition and intentionally or unintentionally engage in behaviours that hold other women back from growing, or even staying, in the industry. This delves into our conditioning as well because boys are raised in a hierarchical position where it is known and expected that there will be a difference in ranking for men. This translates to men working together in a different way. Girls are raised with the belief that everyone is supposed to be equal. Women who get into positions of power often do not want to support other women for fear of compromising their own position or women seeing other women advancing, intentionally holding them back. It’s a crabs in the bucket mentality. When one crab tries to escape, the others grab them and pull them back down. TPS is the root cause of this — not someone else to grow beyond where they are. During our research we discovered many women felt held back or even intentionally harmed by the women in their organiza-

tions or adjacent organizations by being discouraged from applying for certain positions, not being given the education and training opportunities they needed to grow, lack of mentorship and support, and overly criticized compared to their male counterparts. The duality that women face in male dominated organizations is that they are contending with both men and women holding them back. The way men and women hold women back differs between the sexes. Men are more unconscious through lack of education and training, not understanding the social and cultural forces that shape women and their choices as well as industry stigma, inside and outside, and how to be a part of creating a new inclusive industry. Tall Poppy Syndrome, on the other hand, is something many women know is happening but have not had a name for it. Whether unconscious bias, behaviour or social and cultural conditioning, women are contending with other women in their career growth. Changing these barriers is a complex social issue but companies and the industr y can take ownership of their part by focusing on dialogue, education and training for men and women, addressing the stigma of the industr y and creating mentorship programs that support women’s growth within the industr y as well as branding work around the stigma of women entering the construction field.

NLCSA TACKLES MENTAL HEALTH BY JEAN SORENSEN

new industry task force, spearheaded by the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Safety Association (NLCSA), is exploring a new initiative aimed at promoting peer-to-peer help for construction workers in mental health crisis. The new program will train on-site employees to recognize, help and support coworkers who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts before they turn to suicidal behaviour. The Task Force has received funding for a small pilot program at one or more jobsites beginning this fall but is hopeful that more funds are forthcoming and it 66 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

can spread the initiative’s free training to job sites throughout the region. The need for the program grew out of round table discussions and led to the establishment of an industry task force to develop means of ensuring construction workers who may be experiencing a mental health crisis connect with resources appropriate to their individual situation. These might be mental health supports or counseling for any number of factors such as financial stressors, addictions, family issues or relationship breakdown that are contributing to their poor mental health. The round table discussion found that

construction employees are reticent to talk about the factors contributing to poor mental health, and currently, employer sponsored programs are under-utilized. “This is a worker-driven, rather than employer-driven program that we typically see,” says Tammy McCabe, NLCSA communications and industry relations manager. She adds that this peer-to-peer approach can mitigate apprehension that the employer, learning of difficulties, will view that employee in a different light or that the employee will suffer job loss. McCabe says the proposed program builds upon the success of the Australia prevention program MATES in Construction,

A total of three out of four male deaths are related to opiates and in 30-50 per cent they were working in the trades. which has played a significant role in removing the stigma of talking about job, family, or personal stresses. MATES founder Jorgen Gullestrup, CEO of the Australian organization, had been the keynote speaker at the NLCSA 2020 annual conference and MATES was a topic of discussion at the recent round table on mental health issues. The MATES program utilizes field officers going to job sites to educate employees on the industry factors in the industry that can impact mental health and engage in a discussion about suicide. The training helps to raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourages open channels of discussion about mental health among employees. Volunteers can opt to become “connectors”, or individuals trained in SafeTALK training, to help engage with a worker who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide. The role of the connector is to help keep the individual safe in crisis, while at the same time connecting them to professional help. And finally the program also advocates for having some staff trained in ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training), who can take over from a connector when a worker is in immediate crisis. The program creates a network of support on site that can help identify a worker who might be at risk and provides trained peers with knowledge and information about supports available including those offered through employer or labour-in-house EAP programs or other publicly available resources, in their local community. “It is a program that can travel,” says McCabe as the program will move with workers, from site to site and will assist to establish new networks on each new construction site. The MATES Program is aimed at raising awareness about the issue of suicide in the construction industry, building self-

reliance and resiliency in the industry, and helping to connect workers to the best available help and support. The program is an effort to reduce death by suicide and suicidal behaviour — a growing concern internationally in the construction industry. Task force member Mark Balsom, corporate HSEQ manager, for The Cahill Group, says there is often the illusion of construction workers having to be “tough” and when problems occur, they have to “suck it up and go to work”. The reality is that construction workers face tremendous stresses with physical nature of the work, rotation work, isolation at job sites, plus factors that they bring to the job site from home, whether it is a marital situation, a sick child or spouse, or struggling to pay for bills. “With a program similar to MATES we can bring a level of talk, we can bring a level of respect and open up the lines of communication to talk to the worker peer-to-peer,” says Balsom. “It is solely worker talking to worker.” Individuals experiencing mental health crisis need to feel they are in a secure and supportive environment when talking about problems, he says. “Only when the co-worker feels comfortable talking about their concerns and issues, then can you go down that path.” A revealing take-away moment for Balsom as he learned about MATES, was the understanding that stress-related behaviours on a job site by an individual can result from an underlying problem and addressing only the worksite issue is not resolving the problem long-term. Being able to address root- cause issues has an overall positive job site impact. “And that is a big piece of how we move forward to support workers and the industry,” he says.

The increased risk for death by suicide in the construction industry is well known and has been documented, although Canada has lagged other countries in research in this area. “Unfortunately, we have not done a great job capturing that data, in Canada,” says McCabe. “Other countries such as Australia, England and the U.S. have drilled down to what it looks like compared to other industries.” Statistics place the suicide rate, in construction, in those countries, respectively, at rates of 2, 3.7 and 4.25 times higher than the national average. In the U.S., the construction industry has the second highest suicide rate at 53.3 per 100,000 workers, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and is surpassed only by the mining and oil and gas extraction. The rate at 49.4 per cent for men was double the rate for women. “While statistics are not available for Canada, the industry is not that different from that of other industrialized countries,” McCabe believes. Mental health problems can also lead to substance abuse, as drugs and alcohol may be used as a coping mechanism, particularly when healthier coping skills have not been learned. A Canadian government website on substance abuse states that trades workers are more impacted by substance abuse than another field. A total of three out of four male deaths are related to opiates and in 30-50 per cent they were working in the trades. The reasons behind the construction worker substance abuse are multivariant ranging from job anxiety and stress in a boom-and-bust industry to over-use of medications for injuries that lead to addiction or substance abuse. Task force member Steve Tizzard, longtime rotational worker and mental health consultant, says: “Speaking about mental health issues openly and honestly will lessen the stigma, including substance use, addiction and suicide.

workers know it is okay not to be okay, and they need not to suffer in silence anymore, people will come forward and get the help they need.” Unions also have programs that are effective, but the round table found only 28 per cent of construction workers in NL are unionized. “Often times, this kind of support has been missing from our job sites,” says task force member Darin King, executive director of the Building Trades of Newfoundland & Labrador. “This presents a real opportunity to open more conversation, a more meaningful and supportive environment and encourage all who need supports to reach out to friends and colleagues.” The MATES program not only provides the safe environment for reaching out to others, he says, but reduces the stigma often associated with mental health issues. “Removing barriers will make it easier for workers to reach out — many of whom may never seek help otherwise.” According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada, an estimated 23 per cent of workers experienced physical

health problems caused by stress, anxiety or major depression. It is also an expensive problem. Approximately 30 per cent of short and long-term disability claims in Canada are attributed to mental health problems or illnesses. Annually, the total economic loss (health care to lost productivity) from mental health problems is estimated at $50 billion. The alarming impact of mental health on workers caused an industr y steering committee to launch the virtual round table leadership forum. “We had a leadership forum in 2021 with 100 leaders (industr y and labour) in the construction industr y,” says McCabe. This stakeholder advisory group collaborated with Memorial University (SafetyNet) researcher Dr. Kim Cullen with four key areas discussed. These were: suicide and construction knowledge in Newfoundland and Labrador; what resources are available and utilized; the Australian MATES program; and finally what is needed to go forward. Participants agreed

that the industry has an important role to play in improved mental health and suicide prevention and this can be accomplished through educational initiatives, advocacy and by helping to further research initiatives in this area. The subsequent ”What We Heard Report” highlights the key findings of the leadership forum, including the fact that employees were underutilizing conventional Employee and Family Assistance Programs (EFAP) that employers brought to the workplace and secondly, employees felt there is a stigma attached to talking about their problems. The task force is comprised of 18 individuals representing the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Safety Association, SafetyNet Centre for OHS Research (Memorial University), WorkplaceNL, the OHS Division of Digital Government and ServiceNL, the Canadian Mental Health Association of Newfoundland and Labrador, TradesNL, construction employers and individuals with lived experience.

COMMUNITY BUILDING BY CHERYL MAH

Rabbi Chanan Chernitsky and his wife Tuba have accomplished a lot since they moved to St. John’s six years ago.

heir mission to establish a Chabad of Newfoundland branch has been successful and their efforts to bring the Jewish and larger community together continue to expand. Through their passion for Judaism, the couple is sustaining the important work of the Chabad, which is the largest Jewish organization in the world with a presence in more than 100 countries and territories. “We are proud of having become an important resource for the Jewish and 70 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

general communities, through all of the projects that we started,” says Chernitsky. “I think we have accomplished a lot for only having lived here for six years. The future is very bright.” Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Chernitsky moved with his family when he was 13 to Winnipeg. After completing high school, he went on to pursue Jewish studies at the Rabbinical College of America in Morristown, New Jersey. After three years in Morristown, he spent another year of study in Montreal

before heading to Venice, Italy to study for his rabbinical ordination. He was ordained in the summer of 2012. In February of 2017 Rabbi Chernitsky moved his family to St. John’s. “We were looking for a community that could use a Rabbi and a friend mentioned to us that there was a community in St. John’s, without a rabbi. We came in 2016 to check it out. We were almost here for two months and decided to take the plunge,” recalls Chernitsky, who is a father of six.

Special programs are organized for all Jewish holidays; the group offers yearround classes on a variety of Jewish topics, counselling, prison and hospital visitation and the rabbi is available for one-on-one study. Although there is a relatively small Jewish community, the broader community has also shown interest Chabad’s activities. During the Chernitskys’ first Chanukah, about 50 people came out to partake in the public candlelighting. The next year, that number tripled. Today, the Chabad offers a range of programs and services including Holocaust education, Friendship Circle and mental health support. “We offer classes, meals, activities, outings and children’s programs that allow participants to explore their heritage at their own pace in a non-judgemental environment,” says Chernitsky. The Friendship Circle runs monthly, inclusive programs open to any child or young adult with a disability or special needs. The Friendship Circle is committed to serving all members of

the community regardless of religious affiliation. In addition to helping those in need, the Circle empowers and enriches its network of volunteers, the majority of whom are teenagers, by enabling them to reap the vast rewards of giving of themselves. Since 2019, the Chabad has advocated for a Moment of Silence to start off the school day in all schools across Newfoundland. A Moment of Silence is 60 seconds of silent reflection, at the beginning of the school day, for the school children to reflect upon a positive value shared with them by their parent or guardian. Currently, three schools in St. John’s are using a Moment of Silence daily. “There is significant anecdotal evidence that from just this one minute a day, there is a boost in the mental health of students and staff, less stress in schools and a reduction in youth crime and addiction,” says Chernitsky, noting it is not meant to be a prayer and is not connected to any particular religion.

RESTORING MORE THAN PROPERTY

The Holocaust education is in the form of annual speaker — an event that attracts hundreds of people from different backgrounds. The most recent Holocaust speaker series featured survivor Muguette Myers, who lives in Montreal. More than 400 tickets were sold for the event. In 2023, the Chabad is putting an emphasis on suicide prevention for teens. “Our current focus is to expand our activities for special needs children, under the subbranch of Friendship Circle,” says Chernitsky. “Also, we are starting a new project called “UMATTER”, which is about suicide prevention and awareness, with a focus on teens.” He says that the work they have done would not be possible without the strong support of community and business organizations such as the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association (NLCA). “A number of NLCA members support our work and we hope others will see the value that we add to the general community and will want to add their support as well,” says Chernitsky.

HELPING SICK CHILDREN BY PAUL ROSE

Mazol Shriners of Newfoundland and Labrador is very proud of its long-standing relationship with the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association (NLCA). Since 2008 when John Brake was Potentate of Mazol and president of the NLCA, a total of $430,000 has been contributed to Mazol in support of its Patient Transportation Fund (PTF).

ut just who are the Shriners, and where and when did this organization originate? In 1870 there were several thousand Freemasons in New York City. It was there that the idea of a new fraternity for Masons, stressing fun and fellowship, evolved. The first Temple, known as the Mecca Temple, was founded in New York City in 1872.

72 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

Despite its Orientalist theme and name, “The Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine”, the Shrine is a men’s fraternity, connected to neither Arab culture nor Islam. Its only religious requirement is indirect: All Shriners must be Masons and profess a belief in a Supreme Being. The Shrine’s charitable arm is the Shriner’s Hospitals for Children, a network

of hospitals throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In 1920 the Imperial Council voted to establish a Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children. Its purpose was to treat orthopedic injuries, diseases, and birth defects in children. The first hospital opened in 1922 in Shreveport, Louisiana. Since then, Shriners hospitals have been devoted to providing high-quality

specialty medical care to children and families regardless of their ability to pay. A century later that commitment has not changed, in fact, it has only expanded. Shriners three-part mission has one goal: to change and improve the lives of children and their families. We do this by caring for our patients, conducting research to gain knowledge and develop new treatments, and providing educational opportunities for physicians and other healthcare professionals. What began as a single hospital is now a world renowned and beloved healthcare system with hospitals, outpatient clinics, ambulatory care centres and outreach locations across the globe. We are now providing hope and healing to more children in more places. In Canada our Shriners Hospital is in Montreal. It opened in 1925 and relocated to its present location in 2015(www. shrinerschildrens.org). Our Canadian Hospital is a bilingual, short term, acute care centre providing elective paediatric orthopaedic health care. The role of the hospital is to promote health and to provide treatment and rehabilitation to children with orthopaedic and neuromuscular problems. The hospital is committed to excellence and innovation in clinical practice, research, and education, and to providing a caring environment to families. Our Shriners Hospital is affiliated with McGill University and provides clinical experience and teaching for residents and allied professionals. The hospital is present in communities across Canada thanks to Telemedicine. In November 2022, Shriners Hospitals for Children Canada, and the Labrador Grenfell Health Authority celebrated the signing of a telehealth agreement allowing duly credentialled Canada Shriners

Mazol patient Brittany, who has been followed by Shriners Montreal Hospital since 2013, and her parents, were very grateful for this news, as travelling to Montreal for follow-ups required at least four days away from school and work and proved to be an uncomfortable journey for her at times. Karen Finn is Mazol’s office manager and the point person in dealing with our patients, both old and new. In most cases Karen is the intermediary between the patients’ families and the Montreal hospital staff. She co-ordinates travel itineraries and arranges appointments at the hospital. Depending on the season, our monthly patient visits to Montreal number between six and 12, at an average cost to Mazol of $4000 per family. And to note, as referenced earlier, there is no charge in any form to a patient’s family. All travel costs are covered by the Mazol Patient Transportation Fund, which is funded

through the charitable initiatives of our Clubs across the Island and in Labrador, as well, of course, by the kind support within the private sector and from personal donations. This is where the monies arising from the tremendous support of the NLCA are directed. The construction association is the largest contributor to Mazol’s PTF. Digging into the weeds and looking at the efforts of our Clubs in fundraising, you see a wide variety of initiatives which are largely dependent on the support from the general public. Ticket sales on all terrain vehicles, community bingos, 50/50 draws, special fundraiser dinners, social events, all contribute to our one and only primary cause, the world class care of our young patients. Mazol’s Ladies, the Ladies of the Sabre, also play a big role in fundraising with their Christmas and Easter Teas, craft fairs and card/dessert parties, raising several thousands of dollars annually. In May 2023, the board of governors of our Montreal Hospital chose Mazol Shriners to host its board meeting in St. John’s. In addition to the meeting there was a

dedicated outreach effort made to further develop the growing relationship between Montreal and the Janeway Childrens Hospital. Included in the outreach were meetings involving Janeway doctors and our Montreal senior management team. These meetings were very positive, and we are anticipating that this will lead to meaningful future collaborative efforts between the two hospitals. In addition, there was a meeting with provincial minister of Health and Community Services, the Honourable Tom Osbourne. The minister was also very positive regarding the relationship between Mazol Shriners and the Janeway, and he agreed to engage his senior staff in pursuit of the objective to provide pediatric specialty care to the Children of Newfoundland and Labrador. Mazol Shriners in Newfoundland and Labrador number more than 300 members from St. John’s to Labrador City. We are all dedicated to this great philanthropy, and look forward to many years of continued service to the children of our province.

SPIRIT OF SERVICE BY JEAN SORENSEN

When the Max Simms Memorial Camp for special needs children opened in September 1981, it honoured the memory of a lifelong Lions member who died in 1977, a man who did not let the loss of both legs later in life affect his indomitable spirit of service.

“E

ven after he lost both his legs, his fellow Lions of Corner Brook would see to it that P.D.G. (past district governor) Max (if he was well enough), was in his place at the meeting,” the dedication ceremony heard at the camp’s opening. Simms, who suffered from diabetes and heart problems, was the first District Governor of 41S in 1957-58 and again served in 1963-64. He was also a council chairman and international councilor. For over four decades, the Lions clubs of Newfoundland and Labrador have carried

76 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

forward that same spirit of service. They are helping to get people to the place they need to go. Lions clubs in Newfoundland and Labrador donate financially to ensure the camping experience is there for the children with special needs during the summer months and that the children take home fond and carefree childhood memories of camping, swimming, and meeting new friends. “The intent of the camp is to provide a camp that kids with a disability can enjoy and be with friends and family,” says Lions

Council chair for multiple district N Greg King, who is also a past district governor and former camp board member. During June, July and August, provincial organizations that represent individuals with disabilities such as blindness, hemophilia, anemia of chronic disease (ACD), and autism arrange and run the camping experience with the campers’ cost covered by the various Lions clubs. The camp is geared to children, although one camping session is for blind adults.

While the camps are run by the organization, the camp has its own management staff catering to the campers. “Everything is done for them,” says King, just as the camp is designed to accommodate those with handicaps with extra wide doorways and wide halls, accessible showers, lifts, and a small number of medical beds for those who may need them. Camp facilities include a swimming pool, wheelchair accessible hiking trails, games room, campfires, and a pontoon boat for river riding and fishing. King says the camp is sensitive to the needs of children and is fast to address them. “When someone mentioned that the shower handles were difficult to use, within a month they were changed,” he says. “We cater to people to make sure that the camp is there for them.” The Bishop Falls camp itself is a “jewel”, says King as it is set across 25 acres of scenic land along the banks of the Exploits River — one of the area’s best salmon fishing river — on Route 360 in Central Newfoundland. While the camp is directed towards those with special needs in summer months, it is also available for rentals and special events such as weddings, business meetings, or

retreats the rest of the year with revenues helping to defray operating costs. There are 38 rooms in the camp, which a capacity of 96 people. A fully-licensed commercial kitchen and dining room are managed by experienced cooks and kitchen staff. Facilities are housed under one roof and common rooms include a gymnasium recreational area as well as a games room with pool tables, ping pong, and shuffle board. There are rooms for relaxing and the facility offers satellite TV and Wi-Fi. The Max Simms Memorial camp is also the largest venture that the Lions clubs of Newfoundland and Labrador have undertaken and it remains a unique facility as a special needs camp. But, it comes with a hefty obligation and commitment. “Our biggest challenge is that we own a big house and the cost that brings for its upkeep,” says King, as the camp relies upon donors such as the Newfoundland Labrador Construction Association which has been a important financial contributor to keep the camp going. The three years of COVID has also brought new challenges that extend beyond

financial help. “We used to have a group, the Pioneers, who helped since the 1990s. They would take on what needed to be done and they helped us a lot,” says Kin. This group of telecommunications workers pitched in to build the games room, the hallways, septic tank and donated a generator. But, when COVID hit, they disbanded in 2019 as many were retired individuals. The camp is now looking for construction volunteers who can help with projects at the camp or spend a weekend prior to the camp opening for the summer ensuring the facility is camper ready. As well, says King, the camp is grateful for any construction materials that may be left over from a construction project that can be utilized at the camp for repairs or maintenance. The camp can also use skilled individuals to look at buildings and make recommendations regarding improvements and how they can best be carried out. While the operating cost of the camp is high, the historical legacy and thousands of children who have benefitted from the camping experience is priceless. “The people who we send to the camp

come back renewed and rejuvenated — and that includes the blind adults,” says King, as camp provides children with the opportunity to have fun, meet new friends, have their special needs accommodated allowing them to have a carefree experience. It is a facility that brings smile and laughter to the face of a child as camp adventures unfold. Each year, calls are received from children who want to know if their friends from last year are going again to camp. King knows of enduring friendships that have resulted as a result of children attending the camp in past years and wait eagerly to return each summer. “We have one person, in our local area, that we are able to send to camp every year,” he says. The camp’s reputation is known throughout the province and calls come in from individuals wanting to be sponsored to attend the camp. And that is the challenge the Lions clubs take on each year. The Lions are committed to getting special needs kids to their meet-ups just as they helped Simms, who personified service to community, many years ago.

Memorial University Gets an A+ in Energy Efficiency Energy-saving technology enlightens Newfoundland and Labrador’s major university, home of some of the world’s brightest minds. With five campuses and more than 19,000 students from over 115 countries, Memorial University is one of the largest institutions in Newfoundland and Labrador. What started nearly a century ago as a small teachers’ training school has grown into the province’s only comprehensive doctoral university. It’s a global research hub offering more than one hundred degree programs, plus facilities like an observatory, a multi-purpose marine base and the world’s largest motion-capable ship’s bridge simulator. It’s also home to state-of-the-art energy efficient technology, thanks to a partnership with takeCHARGE. With so many people living, learning, and working in the Memorial University system, energy efficiency is a must. That’s why Memorial University has been a long-time participant in the takeCHARGE Business Efficiency Program, a joint initiative between Newfoundland Power and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro which helps businesses reduce energy costs and become more energy efficient.

Since Memorial University started working with takeCHARGE, high quality energy efficiency upgrades have been installed throughout the university at the St. John’s and Grenfell campuses, the Ocean Science Centre in Logy Bay and the Bonne Bay Marine Station in Norris Point. That’s a lot of ground to cover, but takeCHARGE supported the upgrade process for this wide-ranging, multi-site project by offering energy efficiency incentives. An energy assessment was undertaken across Memorial University campuses, bringing in experts to identify priorities and possible improvements, leading to a customized efficiency plan – including an anticipated rebate amount. The result? These facilities now use LED lighting including exit signs, tube lamps and screw-in bulbs that last longer, require less maintenance and reduce overall energy use. “The takeCHARGE Business Efficiency Program allowed us to complete upgrades at numerous facilities throughout our campus buildings and provide better lighting for our faculty, staff, students and visitors,” says Cheryl Spearns, Project Engineer.

“In addition to these upgrades, we’ve drastically cut down on our electricity usage allowing us to make further improvements throughout our campuses.” Over 900 businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador have used the takeCHARGE Business Efficiency Program to make upgrades to their heating and cooling systems as well as refrigeration and lighting, positioning them for further growth and development. From sports academies to office buildings to retail stores and more, takeCHARGE offers solutions for businesses large and small — including yours. Interested?

NAVIGATING THE FINANCIAL STORM BY DARREN D. O’KEEFE

he success or failure of a company in financial crisis will often depend on the approval, if not the active participation, of your bank. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, many construction companies find themselves in increasingly challenging circumstances, with federal government guaranteed “COVID loans” becoming due, interest rates rising, and a relatively stagnant construction market. If you find yourself in “special loans” with your bank, you need to approach the situation with a calm and a cooperative attitude. This article is designed to provide tips on exactly how to do that.

82 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

HOW DID I GET HERE? The typical scenario where a borrower ends up in “special loans” is as a result of payment default. However, increasingly borrowers are finding themselves in default for other unrelated issues, such as a perceived impairment to the bank’s security or a breach of a financial reporting obligation or other covenant. Once you end up in the special loans, the first thing to establish with the bank is trust and confidence. The bank needs to understand that you appreciate your financial predicament and that you are committed to working with the bank cooperatively until the loan is either restructured or refinanced. If that

can’t be done, then a cooperative exit of the relationship should be considered. The “confidence” issue is normally the byproduct of a borrower failing to realize its financial predicament before the bank does. Ideally, you would understand your own difficulties before the bank and would be proactive in approaching the bank to review your numbers and “put a face to the problem”. There is a lot to be said about having an active and engaged borrower who is willing to acknowledge their shortcomings and work to resolve them. On that basis, the first piece of advice we offer clients in financial crisis is to “get out in front of your problem”. Once your problem is identified,

meet with the bank as early as possible to talk about your plan to resolve it. The bank is often more interested in rehabilitating a client than forcing an exit from the relationship. The bank also understands the risk of forcing an insolvency proceeding when other steps may help put the borrower back on track and reduce their risk of a significant loss.

DEALING WITH THE BANK’S TEAM Your first point of contact with the bank will invariably be a special loans officer, or in some cases, someone from the “business restructuring unit” (BRU). This person will be your key point of contact with the bank and will be your main trust broker as you work through your financial problems. As a key decision maker, they will generally control the information submitted to the bank and will either be an ally or an adversary in helping you through the process based on how you treat them. Honesty and humility are key. As you work through the process, any proposal to restructure your loan will be subject to further “credit approval”. Again, this is where your relationship with your special loans officer is key, as your special loans officer will typically make a recommendation to accept or reject your proposal based on their limited experience with you. In most cases, more or less immediately, your special accounts officer will hire a lawyer and an external financial advisor to advise them on their options from straight enforcement to cooperative restructuring. The financial advisor’s main role is to receive and review your financial information and ensure it is accurate and helpful. During the initial stages your bank will likely instruct a lawyer to conduct a broad security review and ensure their loan documents are all valid and enforceable. If they find any defects during their review, the bank will typically ask for these to be corrected before entering any discussions about deferring enforcement on your debt (often done through a “Forbearance Agreement”). The bank may also seek additional security, personal or corporate guarantees, or other assurances during this period if they believe they are under-security. It is for this reason that it is crucial for you to have a seasoned

insolvency advisor on your side (whether a lawyer or financial advisor) when navigating these issues. The dependability of the information you provide is crucial, and your team should ensure your information instills confidence in the bank and its advisors that you are being honest and forthright about your finances. As a cautionary note, in a time of crisis you should never disappear into the background or ignore the bank, you need to be front and centre at all times. Clients who become invisible to the bank create a very bad impression. If you are not committed to turning around your company, there will be no reason for the bank to take any risk on your behalf. Every special loan file carries significant risk for the bank and asking for accommodation often times only increases that risk.

HOW DO YOU CONTINUE TO BANK DURING YOUR RESTRUCTURING? As a general rule your banking services should remain unaffected until such time as the Bank formally issues a notice of intention to enforce security, as required by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, (also called a “NITES”). After a NITES is issued and 10 days elapses, the bank may move on its security and quickly suspend services,

reduce available credit, or sweep cash in bank accounts. Prior to a NITES being issued, the bank may want to reduce their exposure by limiting the amount of your available credit or restricting other banking products (payroll services, etc.). This is normally done in a formal Forbearance Agreement. Always remember, whatever is lost during the process can be reinstated at a later date, subject to a successful turnaround.

HOW DO YOU APPROACH A “FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT”? As noted above, a Forbearance Agreement is normally entered into at the beginning of a restructuring matter, to set out the terms of how you will deal with your bank during the following weeks or months as you try to fix the problems in your business. These agreements are extremely common in Atlantic Canada and are a useful tool to “buy time” in order to improve confidence with the bank and work on your plan. That said, you must never enter into a Forbearance Agreement without weighing the pros and cons. Often times the Forbearance Agreement will request that you make serious concessions on your rights to challenge the banks security and will

often call for additional collateral in the face of unrealistic performance expectations (setting you up for failure). There is no point in buying time with a Forbearance Agreement if you are only delaying an inevitable filing under the BIA or CCAA (discussed below). You should always seek legal advice before entering into any Forbearance Agreement with your bank.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS IF THE BANK DOES NOT COOPERATE? Assuming you are committed to restructuring your business, there are two main options you can avail yourself of to put the bank on hold and gain breathing room to formulate a restructuring plan. The first is by filing a notice of intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA), and the second is to file an application for creditor protection under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). In both cases your creditors will be “stayed” for a period of time to allow you an opportunity to formulate a

restructuring plan. If your relationship with the bank is adversarial, then a filing under the BIA or CCAA might be your best option. In our experience, however, most successful turnarounds will require some level of co-operation from the bank. This may not necessarily be on day one but may come at a later date once you have demonstrated your commitment to the turnaround. Before undertaking any filing, you must bear in mind that the bank will likely hold a veto in your insolvency proceedings and will be in the best position to seek to lift the stay and move forward with a liquidation. This only strengthens the point above that a cooperative approach is to be preferred, as an adversarial approach bears with it a significant amount of risk. In cases where cooperation is not possible, the bank will focus on three issues in any insolvency filing: (1)

ensuring there is accurate reporting by you and your professional advisors, and in particular, whether there are any changes in the collateral; (2) how your operating accounts are to be affected by the stay; and (3) the banks rights should there be any “material adverse change” to your circumstances during the say period.

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER No one plans on a financial crisis in their business, but unfortunately, unexpected things happen, and you must deal with them head on. This article is designed to offer some pointers on what to expect if you find yourself in such a situation and have to deal with your bank to find a path forward. Always remember, restructuring is not easy — but it can be done with the right attitude and commitment.

EVOLVING CONTRACTUAL FRAMEWORKS BY MATTHEW CRAIG AND LIAM DUNPHY

In the 2023 edition of the NLCA Construction Journal, we discussed possible new opportunities for the NL construction industry resulting from the “end of the moratorium on wind development”, which at that time had been recently announced by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

86 | 2024 NLCA CONSTRUCTION JOURNAL

ince that time, the government issued a call for bids for windhydrogen projects, received and evaluated 24 proposals from 19 different companies, and selected nine bids from nine companies to proceed to the next stage of the evaluation process, which is intended to involve a deeper examination of each company’s experience, the proposed projects, financing plans, electricity grid connection requirements, community and indigenous engagement, and benefits to the province. The second stage of the process is expected to be completed by the time of this publication. Successful bidders coming out of the second stage of the process will still need to go through an environmental assessment process prior to final award of crown land, but progress continues to be made toward the possible development of these major projects. The wind-hydrogen projects that could result from this process present opportunities for accelerated changes within the construction industry in Newfoundland and Labrador, both from a technical perspective, and a contracting perspective. In recent years, the construction industry has seen a shift away from lump sum (or fixed price) contracts toward more flexible compensation structures. This shift can largely be attributed to global events that have decreased predictability in the industry. Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and rising political and economic pressures resulting from deteriorating international relations have led to volatility in material costs and supply lead times. For owners and contractors alike, these events have resulted in increased difficulty in foreseeing and predicting project costs and schedule. To address these issues, owners and contractors have started negotiating contracts which are aimed at incentivizing good performance, while also achieving a balanced allocation of risk between the parties.

Most industry members are likely familiar with traditional contract compensation structures: (i) lump sum, which generally has the effect of allocating cost-overrun risk to the contractor; (ii) time and materials (T&M), or similarly, cost-plus, each of which generally has the effect of allocating cost-overrun risk to the owner; and (iii) unit rate (or unit price), which is generally used where labour and commodity prices can reasonably be fixed, while quantities of work are uncertain. While many industry members may also be familiar with the concept of a T&M or cost-plus contract with a guaranteed maximum price, owners and contractors in Canada have recently begun to implement a slight variation on this approach: T&M or cost-plus contracts with incentive-based mechanisms. Incentive based mechanisms are sometimes referred to as “pain share/gain share”, and typically come in two forms: (i) cost/ budgetary incentives; and (ii) scheduling incentives. The pain/gain reference comes from the principle or intention that the owner and contractor will share in the pain associated with a project going over budget or finishing behind schedule, and will likewise share in the gain associated with a project being completed under budget or ahead of schedule. To implement a cost/budgetary incentivebased mechanism, it is generally necessary to first set an agreed upon budget or “target cost”. The mechanism then provides contractors an incentive to achieve actual costs at the time of project completion which are lower than the agreed upon target cost. This incentive typically comes in the form of additional compensation payable to the contractor calculated based on a percentage of the amount by which actual costs are below the target cost. In this scenario, the owner and contractor share in the gain achieved as a result of the project being completed under budget. The balance of that share is determined based on the percentage negotiated. On the other hand, owners will generally also require the contractor to share in the pain of the project being over budget. To achieve this, the mechanism also provides contractors an incentive (or disincentive) to avoid an outcome in which actual costs exceed the target cost. This incentive/disincentive typically comes in the form of a reduction to the amounts payable to the contractor after the point at which actual costs exceed the target cost. Typically, the reduction will bear some con-

nection to markups and/or the contractor’s profit margin. In this scenario, the owner and contractor share in the pain resulting from the project going over budget. Scheduling incentive-based mechanisms can be implemented based on an overall schedule for completion, but are often implemented based on dates for achieving important contractual milestones. Once schedule and/or milestone dates are agreed upon, the mechanism provides contractors an incentive to complete work ahead of schedule. This incen-

tive typically comes in the form of a payment by the owner to the contractor of a fixed amount. In this scenario, the owner and contractor share in the gain achieved as a result of milestones being completed ahead of schedule. Again, owners will generally also require the contractor to share in the pain associated with project milestones being achieved behind schedule. The incentive (or disincentive) to avoid this outcome is generally also set as a fixed amount to be credited against project costs in favour of the owner. In

LEGAL

this scenario, the pain share is not dissimilar to liquidated damages which have been a somewhat common element of construction contracts for some time. While fixed amounts are generally used for scheduling incentives/disincentives, some owners and contractors will also use scaled or escalating incentives/disincentives. Specifically, the amount payable to the contractor, or to be credited to the owner, may increase as the amount of time between actual completion of the milestone and the agreed upon schedule increases (whether ahead of or behind schedule). A final element that is often incorporated into incentive-based mechanisms (both cost/budgetary and schedule) is the concept of a “dead band”. The purpose of a dead band is to establish a range on either side of the target budget/schedule in which no incentive or disincentive will apply. In the case of a cost/budgetary incentive-based mechanism, parties agree on an amount by which actual costs may be less than or greater than the agreed upon target cost. Within the agreed upon range, no incentive is payable by the owner to the contractor, and likewise, no deductions

will be applied to the amounts payable to the contractor. While the cost/budgetary dead band can be balanced (i.e. the range or agreed amount is the same on both sides of the target cost), risk tolerance and the nature of a particular project may warrant an unbalanced cost/budgetary dead band. Similarly, in the case of a scheduling incentive-based mechanism, parties may agree on a time-based dead band. In other words, if the contractor achieves a milestone X days before the scheduled date for completion, no incentive will be payable by the owner to the contractor, and likewise, if the contractor achieves a milestone X days after the scheduled date for completion, no credit will be applied in favour of the owner. As with the cost/budgetary dead band, it is not necessary that the scheduling dead band include an equal number of

days on either side of the target milestone completion dates. As the developments of recent years have shown, members of the construction industry will be well served to be innovative and proactive when adapting to unpredictable forces impacting labour, manufacturing, supply chains and the industry generally. Likewise, as major projects are undertaken, it can reasonably be expected that owners may continue to implement new contract structures aimed at incentivizing good performance, while also protecting the owner from the consequences of poor performance. With shifting landscapes affecting the construction industry and the potential for privately-owned wind-hydrogen projects on the horizon, industry members may need to quickly gain an understanding of and adapt to new contract structures.

DEBRIEFING IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT BY F. RICHARD GOSSE

ive years after repeal of the Public Tender Act, specific details of the operation of the Public Procurement Act (Act) remain a mystery to many. This is concerning given the Act’s stated objectives of transparency and accountability. Debriefing is a key mechanism to meet these objectives but, based on client and industry interactions, it appears that debriefing is not being used effectively. Whether innocently or intentionally, failure to provide effective debriefing undermines the intentions of the legislation and, in the bigger picture, risks diminishing the public sector supply base to the detriment of the province as a whole.

Procurement under the Act refers to the process for acquiring goods, services, public works and leases of space by public bodies, which are essentially government or government-funded entities. Best value is sought through open and fair competition between suppliers (which in construction includes contractors). This can include traditional tenders but the competition is often more nuanced to reflect what is needed and promote best value: this can mean the lowest price for a fully-specified supply or a more flexible proposal to meet targeted needs and objectives. In either case, the competition separates successful from unsuccessful bids, and determines who provides the supply.

Debriefing is intended to support procurement by assisting both sides of the equation: the suppliers and the public body. The Act obliges the public body to comply with requests for debriefing; the process is set forth in the Public Procurement Regulations (regulations) and explained in greater detail in the Provincial Procurement Policy (policy) formally adopted by the Province. The Act generally obliges public bodies to debrief any unsuccessful suppliers who make a request. The regulations impose timelines based on notice of contract award and clarify that, in debriefing, the public body has to provide an overview of the supplier’s bid and why www.nlca.ca | 89

LEGAL

it was unsuccessful. The policy provides much greater detail on how debriefings are conducted but it appears that many public bodies are familiar with it, even when it is specifically referenced in their own procurement documents and notwithstanding that the policy expressly states that: “It is the responsibility of public bodies and their employees involved in procurement to ensure that the acquisition process is conducted in accordance with the Act, Regulations, this Policy and relevant trade agreements. All procurement is to be carried out by staff with the required knowledge, skills and expertise to work effectively within the framework.” The policy is clear that debriefings are an integral part of a transparent and equitable procurement process which permits unsuccessful suppliers in an open call for bids an opportunity to understand why their bid was not successful. It directs that requests for debriefings received after the prescribed deadlines should be considered on a case-by-case basis, and notes that where they conflict, the Act (which does not impose deadlines) governs over the Regulations. Public bodies are required to provide suppliers with relevant feedback based on evaluation criteria that balance confidentiality requirements owed to other suppliers. The objective is to give suppliers insight into the procurement and evaluation processes while obtaining specific feedback on their own submissions. Debriefing is also intended to provide assurance that all submissions are treated fairly and maintain a fair, ethical and transparent process. Specifically the debriefing is supposed to “demonstrate that each proposal was evaluated in accordance with the evaluation process and criteria” and “better prepare the supplier for future opportunities, which, in turn, strengthens the public sector supply base.” To accomplish this, the responsible official on the procurement is obliged to

prepare and compile requisite materials and coordinate attendance of everyone necessary for an effective debriefing. A debriefing template issued by the Public Procurement Agency includes a checklist for documents like evaluation scoring sheets, and dedicated sections to summarize strengths and weaknesses and specific information for future improvements. Debriefing is expressly intended to be informative and not adversarial and the Policy directs that discussions should include: “strengths and weaknesses of the supplier’s submission relative to the evaluation criteria”; the “supplier’s evaluation score and supplier’s evaluation ranking”; “areas where the terms, conditions or specifications were not met”; “suggestions on how to improve future submissions”; and “feedback from the supplier on any aspect of the procurement or the process.” It should also address “specific questions and concerns raised by the supplier relative to their submission.” In addition to informing suppliers, debriefing is meant to assist public bodies to meet objectives like ensuring that they use an open, fair, consistent and transparent process that maximizes competition, adheres to the framework for procurement, and manages processes and practices consistently. Based on anecdotal communications with individual suppliers and discussions within industry groups, the debriefing process does not appear to be working as contemplated. Reports from those in the industry are of a bare minimum observance, with public bodies allocating inadequate time and refusing to provide specific details of scores for rated criteria or explanation for how scores were assigned. Inquiries on how to improve future submissions can be met with outright refusals to respond and

interpreted as a challenge to the authority of the procurement official involved that will colour how that supplier’s proposals are evaluated in the future. Worse still, the uncooperative approach is often coupled with assertions of impunity: that the Act prohibits liability on the part of the public body or its employees and agents. While yet untested by the courts, the relevant section of the Act clearly states that it only applies where the public body or individual is acting in good faith. It is difficult to believe that anyone who disregards the framework of the Act, the regulations and the policy could be acting in good faith, especially when compliance is explicitly required. The purpose of the Act is to establish a framework which, through its operation, enables public bodies to achieve best value, transparency and accountability in procurement. Suppliers may be reluctant to focus on unsuccessful bids, but by acting on their rights under the legislation, they can improve the procurement process and their own success within it. This can be particularly relevant where the competition is not for a specific project but to create a prequalified supplier list. The regulations confirm that a supplier who did not initially meet the requirements of a request for qualifications may be added to a pre-qualified supplier list at any time if it now meets those requirements. It is in everyone’s best interests if suppliers present their bids in a way that comprehensively responds to the public body’s needs. The legislative framework was designed to support efficient, effective and ethical procurement but depends on all stakeholders, and especially public bodies and suppliers that understand the relevant processes, to ensure that it operates successfully.

HIRING FOREIGN WORKERS? BY MEGHAN FELT

The Newfoundland and Labrador construction sector continues to be challenged both with finding people — and with finding people with the right skills. One solution: hire foreign workers. unsuccessfully attempted to hire Canadians and Permanent Residents. But if your goal is to hire a foreign worker for only a very limited time, exceptions to the typical process, significantly reducing the time and cost, might be available. For example, if you want to hire a foreign worker in a “high skilled position” for 15 or 30 days they could be eligible for a work permit exemption under the Global Skills Strategy.

ut before considering how, you need to evaluate whether hiring a foreign worker is a viable solution for you. Ask yourself these 10 questions and you’ll be ready to discuss with your immigration lawyer whether hiring a foreign worker(s) could work for you. 1/ How quickly do you need the foreign worker(s)? How quickly you need the workers affects whether hiring a foreign worker will meet your needs and if so, the best immigration program for you. Canada continues to experience immigration processing backlogs. However, the actual processing time for various immigration programs varies widely.

For example, the processing time for workers from certain visa-requiring countries for non-essential occupations can be over six months, whereas for port of entry applications for the intra-company transfer of executives/senior managers and specialized knowledge personnel from visa-exempt countries, it’s immediate.

3/ What’s the position you need to fill? Depending on the position you’re trying to fill, you might be able to access specialized or expedited immigration programs that reduce your time and cost. For example, certain technology positions are eligible for a Global Talent Stream Labour Market Impact Assessment that’s exempt from the typical LMIA advertising requirements and offers a two-week expedited process for both the LMIA and the work permit. Other positions are eligible for a LMIA exemption under international trade agreements such as the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and the Canada European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Or you might be able to use the Francophone Mobility Program, a specialized LMIA-exempt stream allowing foreign workers to live and work anywhere in Canada outside of Quebec if their habitual language of daily use is French.

2/ For how long do you need the foreign worker(s)? If your goal is to hire foreign workers on an intermediate or long-term basis, you’ll likely have to follow the “typical” process. This includes obtaining a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), usually a time-consuming process to confirm you’ve

4/ Where are you recruiting from? Where you’re recruiting from affects the time it’ll take to get the foreign worker into Canada, the available immigration programs, the process you must follow, and the costs. For example: • If you’re recruiting foreign workers that already work in a foreign location

www.nlca.ca | 91

LEGAL

of your company, there are LMIAexempt processes for intra-company “transfers” of employees to a position in an executive, senior managerial, or specialized knowledge capacity; processing is virtually immediate. • Foreign workers from visa-requiring countries (for example, the Philippines and India) must apply for a work permit at the Canadian embassy in their country of residence; processing times vary from two weeks to more than eight months. • Foreign workers from visa-exempt countries (for example, the U.S. and the U.K.) can apply for a work permit at the Canadian border (port of entry). Applicants must still meet the eligibility requirements for a work permit and all admissibility rules before they’ll be allowed into Canada but the processing is virtually immediate. 5/ What immigration programs are available to Newfoundland & Labrador employers? The available immigration programs affect the timing, process and costs. Newfoundland and Labrador employers and their workers can access federal, regional and provincial immigration programs. • Federal programs are available to positions anywhere in Canada. Examples include the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the Express Entry Program. • The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is a regional program available for positions only within Atlantic Canada. • Newfoundland & Labrador’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is available for positions only within Newfoundland & Labrador and has a number of streams, including Skilled Worker and Priority Skills NL, each with its own eligibility criteria. 6/ Are you already posting job ads domestically? Whether you’re already advertising domestically to fill the positions affects your timing to recruit and hire a foreign worker(s). With some exceptions, to obtain

a Labour Market Impact Assessment you must advertise domestically to fill the position, meeting very specific criteria such as mandatory content and minimum posting duration. If you haven’t already started advertising domestically, you’ll have to start that process from scratch. But if you’ve already started advertising the position domestically and the advertising content meets the LMIA requirements, you’re that much ahead in the process. 7/ How much are you willing to be involved with the foreign worker (& their family)? The extent to which you’re willing to be involved with the foreign worker(s) and in some cases, their family, will help determine the most suitable immigration program. Some programs are employerdriven and require significant employer involvement. For example, the Atlantic Immigration Program requires employers to be more involved in the settlement of the foreign worker and their family. In contrast, some immigration programs, such as the Newfoundland & Labrador Provincial Nominee Programs, are applicant-driven and don’t require the same level of employer involvement. 8/ Do you have the administrative bench strength? Hiring and employing foreign workers demands administrative resources to do it right — and to avoid the risks of doing it wrong. You’ll need resources to manage the foreign worker recruiting and processing requirements; employer-driven immigration programs require even greater resources. For example, the Atlantic Immigration Program requires employers to file a robust endorsement application; the Temporary Foreign Worker Program requires

employers to file extensive Labour Market Impact Assessment applications. You’ll also need resources to manage ongoing immigration law compliance after you’ve hired a foreign worker(s). For example, Employment and Social Development Canada has the authority to randomly audit employers for compliance. It’s crucial that you have the resources in place to ensure compliance; the non-compliance consequences can be significant for both you and the foreign worker. 9/ How many foreign workers are you recruiting? The number of foreign workers you want to hire also helps determine the immigration program that’s best fits your needs. For example, some programs, including the Atlantic Immigration Program and some Provincial Nominee Programs, could be preferable if you’re recruiting multiple foreign workers because of lower per worker processing fees. Other programs that require a Labour Market Impact Assessment have higher processing fees (currently $1,000 per foreign worker) and thus an overall greater cost. The number of foreign workers you’re hiring also creates a higher administrative burden, requiring more internal resources to manage recruiting, processing and legal compliance demands. 10/ What’s your budget? Ensure you have the budget to cover the costs of recruiting and hiring a foreign worker(s). For example, you might be required to pay government processing fees that vary depending on the immigration program and that increase the more foreign workers you’re hiring. Expect to incur legal fees as well, though these could be reduced if you’re hiring multiple foreign workers.

CENTRE OF ECOVATION THE EMBODIED CARBON CHALLENGE NEWCRETE HAS partnered with carbon removal technology provider CarbonCure Technologies to bring low-carbon ready mix concrete to their customers in St. John’s, NL. “Our team is excited to introduce CarbonCure to Capital Ready Mix and Concrete Products, both divisions of Newcrete Investments, in the St. John’s and surrounding areas to be able to reduce the carbon footprint of our concrete production and at the same time, lower the embodied carbon of our customers’ projects,” says Joe Blundon, vice president of operations at Newcrete. You may already know that buildings are the source of 40 per cent of the world’s annual greenhouse gas emissions; but did you know that by 2060, the world’s building stock is expected to double? That means we’re building a new New York City every month for the next 40 years. On top of that, between now and 2060, embodied carbon levels are predicted to account for almost half of the emissions from the built environment. And since concrete is the most abundant building material, innovation in concrete offers the biggest potential solution for embodied carbon reduction. The embodied carbon challenge has a concrete solution. CarbonCure’s technology for ready mix enables concrete producers to inject waste carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into their concrete during mixing. Once injected, the CO2 undergoes a process known as mineralization, where it chemically converts into a nano-mineral and becomes permanently embedded in the concrete. The mineralized CO2 increases the strength of the concrete and enables the reduction of cement content in mixes without sacrificing strength, further reducing the carbon footprint of the concrete. “Environmental stewardship is one of our company’s core values, as is providing top quality service to the communities in which we operate. CarbonCure enables Capital Ready Mix and Concrete Products to enhance our contributions on both fronts,” says Blundon. Newcrete’s subsidary companies have been providing ready mix concrete, masonry block, precast products and landscape products in Newfoundland and Labrador for more than 75 years. The company’s decision to add CarbonCure to Capital Ready Mix and Concrete Products plants is in line with its sustainability initiatives and leadership. “We are excited about the fact that with CarbonCure, we can provide the same quality concrete and top-tier service to our customers, but now with a reduced carbon footprint,” says Blundon. CarbonCure enables concrete producers to reduce an average of 17 kg of carbon emissions per every cubic metre of concrete produced. For context, an average mid-rise building built with CO2 mineralized concrete would reduce 680 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere, which is equivalent to the carbon absorbed by 360 hectares of trees for a year.

CENTRE OF ECOVATION JOURNEY TO NET ZERO IN OCTOBER 2022 The Cahill Group added its first all-electric vehicle to its fleet. The Ford F-150 Lightning has a range of 370 KM on a full charge and is currently being used continuously every weekday from 8 AM — 4:30 PM for daily operations between offices, fabrication facilities and local project sites in the St. John’s area. The truck is charged overnight and is then fully charged for use the following day. To date, there is 27,000 KM of use on the Lightning, and maintenance on the truck has been practically non-existent. The company has also outfitted the truck with an aluminum truck rack so that it can carry long lengths of pipe and various other construction materials. In addition, this electric truck has replaced a traditional fuel burning truck. This has saved more than 3,969 litres of fuel since its implementation into the fleet. You may spot this vehicle in the St. John’s area — it can be distinguished from other Cahill fleet vehicles by the green decal. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is just part of the company’s commitment to ESG — this electric truck is another step on our collective journey to net zero.

ADVOCACY AS A MEMBER OF NLCA, you are part of a collective voice. NLCA plays a very important role in advocacy for our member firms, addressing concerns that have an impact on the construction industry. We have worked hard to build and foster strong relationships with other organizations and industry stakeholders. We lobby with all levels of government; municipal, provincial, and federal. NLCA is consistently advocating on behalf of the commercial and industrial construction industry in Newfoundland and Labrador with all three levels of government. NLCA’s success as an industry advocate and thought leader flows from its ability to engage members on issues that impact them and in turn engage government and other stakeholders on these issues with a view to influence positive change. The NLCA executive team was pleased to meet with the newly appointed Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, the Hon John Abbott in July. It was a very productive meeting and the minister agreed to work together on advancing key topics like prompt payment and new reforms to streamline municipal tendering. Photo (L-R): Derek Brown, NLCA first-vice chair; Rhonda Neary, NLCA president/COO; Honourable John Abbott; Valerie Penney, NLCA third vice-chair; and Matthew Mallam, NLCA chair.

Government Relations The NLCA meets on a regular basis with municipal, provincial, and federal politicians and government officials to ensure that member interests are protected when new policies or programs are developed. Our goal is to ensure that government knows how important your business and the construction industry is to the future of our province. National Lobbying with CCA We have several representatives who have taken on leading roles with the Canadian Construction Industry. We have representatives on the Board of Directors and numerous committees. Their work ensures that the interests of Newfoundland and Labrador members are always protected. We are proud to have won several CCA awards in recognition of our strong leadership and innovation. All NLCA member firms automatically become members of the Canadian Construction Association. Standard Practices The NLCA Standard Practices Committee is responsible for the development of recommendations to improve tendering and contracting practices. The committee promotes improved procedures for tendering, standard contract documents, (CCDC and CCA), and facilitates discussion between other professional organizations in the construction industry. Corporate Social Responsibility The NLCA is proud to have supported many local charities, all of which would not be possible without the contribution from our member firms.
