2023-2024 ADVOCACY HIGHLIGHTS: Hosted Premier Danielle Smith at annual Premier’s Luncheon events, where conversations about public procurement, labour shortages, skills development, trades, immigration reform, and building the Calgary of tomorrow were key topics.

Sent delegates to Edmonton for the annual “Legislature Day” to advocate directly to lawmakers at the Provincial Legislature. Together with the Edmonton Construction Association, we raised concerns about stable and predictable funding for infrastructure projects, procurement and risk allocation, labour supply challenges, and prompt payment.

Regularly attended roundtables and discussions with Provincial ministers on immigration, trade, and labour.

Raised the profile of Calgary’s construction industry with over 100 media appearances since November 2021 (TV, Print, Radio).

Appeared before City Council numerous times to advocate directly for new infrastructure spending, housing affordability, raise the impacts of the climate strategy on construction, and the labour shortage.

Worked with Mayor Jyoti Gondek to officially dedicate and re-open the Calgary Construction Association Member Centre.

Advocated for Calgary’s proposed Fieldhouse Development and supported the Foothills Athletic Park Redevelopment Plan, which will create jobs and opportunity for the construction industry.

Voiced our support for Calgary’s new Event Centre and Culture and Entertainment District – which will create up to 3000+ jobs and spur follow-on investment into the next decade.

Launched a Provincial Platform that advocated for our positions during and after the 2023 Provincial Election.

Helped Launch the Calgary Chapter of ENBIX: uniting professionals in Calgary’s building, construction, and renovation sectors to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration to reduce emissions from buildings across the region.

Raised the profile of the skilled-labour shortage in the media, and advocated on the issue to Calgary Economic Development, the City of Calgary, Government of Alberta, and Government of Canada.

Officially registered on the

Alberta Lobbyist Registry, furthering our efforts to engage our community to build better and ensure the construction industry remains top of mind to decision makers.

Calgary Construction Association

As a membership based organization we exist with the sole purpose of serving our members and our industry to the best of our ability at all times.

Over the years we have done so through all the cycles and changes that have occurred in our market and we have all become stronger for the experience. Then came March 2020 and the world had to change its entire way of life overnight. Of course the CCA was no exception and the next two years provided an invaluable learning experience for us all as we sought to adapt and continue to support our CCA community through uncharted waters.

The lessons have not been wasted on us so, when in early 2022 we saw the end in sight, we felt the need to re-evaluate our role in this new and emerging postpandemic context. At the same time we also felt a strong voice pulling us away from the temptation to simply restart everything that we had been doing up until March 2020.

And so, in early March 2022, the board and CCA team convened for a full day in person strategy session so we could apply all that we had learned during the pandemic to our legacy as a 75+ year organization and begin to consider our role for the next 3 to 5 years and beyond. Maybe it was a post pandemic thing but this was not just any old typical strategic offsite session.

We wanted to approach the whole exercise a different way than in the past so we looked to a new place for inspiration. In his book “Know What You’re For” Jeff Henderson, a former marketing exec. at the Chick-fil-A organization, describes how they had to learn that, in order to truly help a franchise owner how to understand and grow their business, they needed to stand on the customers’ side of the counter and not the operators.

05

26

Calgary Construction Association

Not only was this a powerful analogy for us to reflect on as a customer service organization, but the two fundamental questions in the book -

”What Do You Want to be Known For?” And “What Are You Known For?” - Felt like perfect lines of enquiry for such an undertaking.

We started with the first question and the answers that we arrived at were an important viewpoint to have at the outset of this session.

“WHAT ARE WE KNOWN FOR?” AN ASSOCIATION OF LARGE ORGANIZATIONS - LARGELY GC’S Considering the fact that 18 of our 30 directors are appointed from trade and professional associations this is an interesting perspective but, nevertheless, it has prevailed for many years and, as you will see on the next page “LARGE” are actually the minority!

ONLINE PLANS-ROOM SERVICE An important and valued service that is based on our heritage as a Builders Exchange and fundamental way for our members to access opportunities.

LARGE EVENTS THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO ATTEND Only 15-20%. Of our member companies have been regular attendees at most historic events.

MEMBERSHIP FEES THAT ARE DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

We moved from there to the second question

“WHAT DO WE WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR?” The best way to summarize all the various conversations that arose out of this question was the simple fact that we want our members to feel that -

“I CANNOT AFFORD TO NOT BE A MEMBER OF CCA” We do not say this lightly because we fully understand that for this to be true, we need to earn such a statement based on all that we do for our members. But what a call to action it is!

Then we engaged in a lengthy conversation around the question -

“WHO ARE OUR MEMBERS?” Once again there were many aspects to the response and it is clear that our membership is diverse with -

Trade Contractors Manufacturers/ Distributors/ Suppliers

50% 16%

Consultants and Service Providers General Contractors + Builders - Overall 15% - 4.5% med-large size

15%

19%

But by far the biggest takeaway was the fact that across all categories -

OVER 80% OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE 10 PEOPLE OR LESS IN THE OFFICE.

This is actually the profile of our industry and it is in fact the profile of all kinds of businesses across Canada. We have always been a small business association comprised primarily of owner/operator businesses as members. This was a key perspective in beginning to imagine the great opportunity that lay before us as we viewed CCA and our members through this lens.

08

ST RAT EG I C OB JECT IVE S

Armed with this key information we finally moved to the members’ side of the counter and from that vantage point we asked ourselves…

“WHAT ARE OUR MEMBERS ASKING US FOR?” 5 main buckets emerged out of this consideration and, in no specific order, we arrived at -

While many of these may be familiar and are certainly representative of the work that we at CCA have always been engaged in, this unique journey during our offsite via the steps outlined previously, provided us with an added dimension along with a renewed sense of purpose related to our role in seeking to move forward with consistency and clarity as a stronger and more aligned partner with our members.

In a post pandemic world and after three years of unprecedented change many of us are looking at our lives and our priorities differently and here at CCA we have fully embraced this perspective.

The real work is already being done and we know that we have much more ahead of us. We hope that this 5 part perspective will align well with your needs and, as we report to you on how we are working on each of these in different ways throughout the year, you will see yourselves reflected more and more in all that we do as we strive to earn the ultimate privilege of being considered mission partners with you all in building our collective future in Calgary.

This unique culture is not only a reflection of the industry’s legacy in shaping the city’s skyline but also a key factor in attracting and retaining talent.

backgrounds, enriching the construction community with a broader range of experiences and ideas. At the peak of activity in 2023, we saw women representing 14 per cent of the construction industry. We have achieved these milestones by establishing clear pathways for underrepresented groups—including women, Indigenous peoples, and new Canadians. Calgary is addressing the labour needs while fostering an environment of creativity and innovation.

CONCLUSION The labour shortage in the construction industry presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Calgary. By embracing collaboration, fostering a unified and skilled workforce, prioritizing culture and engagement, enhancing educational outreach, and championing diversity, Calgary’s construction community is poised to navigate this challenge with resilience and innovation. These collective efforts secure a prosperous future for the industry. As Calgary continues to evolve, the construction industry’s response to this pivotal chapter will leave an indelible mark on the city’s landscape, underscoring the importance of adaptability, community, and inclusivity. In facing this challenge head-on, we are building more than just structures; we are crafting a legacy of strength, diversity, and innovation for future generations. u The CONSTRUCTOR 2024

BMO CENTRE EXPANSION PREPARES TO WELCOME THE WORLD After four years of dedicated construction efforts, Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) and the Calgary Stampede proudly announced the substantial completion of the BMO Centre expansion on March 13, 2024. This milestone marked the project’s transition into its final stages of operational readiness, paving the way for its grand opening in June 2024 as Western Canada’s largest and newest convention venue.

Serving as the development manager for this transformative city-building project, CMLC proudly delivered the $500 million expansion on schedule and on budget.

“This is a major accomplishment for CMLC and our partners, and a huge step toward achieving our vision for a vibrant and active Culture + Entertainment District,” says Kate Thompson, The Exchange, featuring Canada’s largest indoor fireplace.

The building’s copper-coloured façade is textured and reflective to emulate the shine of a belt buckle, and it presents a modernist rendition of rustic barn boards commonly found in rural settings.

With over two million construction hours and contributions from nearly 5,000 tradespeople, including demolition crews, steelworkers, drywall installers, and electrical and mechanical teams, the BMO Centre expansion stands as a testament to collaborative effort and commitment to excellence.

At its peak, the expansion saw close to 600 workers per day, six days a week, underscoring the efficiency and un-

wavering dedication throughout the construction process. Drywall installation on the project peaked at an impressive rate of 30,000 square-feet per day, resulting in a total of 2.4 million square feet of drywall utilized for the space. With more than 150 lifts on site at peak, 80 per cent of the work in the building took place at a height of at least 20 feet.

Our clients want something better. Better solutions through collaboration fueled by ideas that apply value engineering and engage the latest building technologies. Better results that go beyond on-time, on-budget, and meeting requirements; those that enhance their building’s marketability. Better experience, risk management, and fiscal responsibility that provides peace of mind.

ing, with the onset of computerized on-screen measurements, estimating, scheduling, and project management tools,” he says.

And technology has continued to advance in the years since. Slater says that his first job in the construction industry was checking mathematical equations to ensure there were no errors in the estimates. “Obviously, IT tools have had a huge impact on the industry,” he says. “These are fantastic tools that have made the job easier.

Although the actual physical construction itself hasn’t changed, the method of communications, estimating and management tools has changed significantly.”

Slater also points to new shifts since his time as Chair including the environmental focus and seeing a more highly skilled and diverse industry workforce.

“We now have LEED Certification and companies are using green technology to create more energy efficient buildings,” he says. “When I started my career, there were some, but not many women in management and superintendent roles. This, of course, has completely changed, with a much higher percentage of women in the indus-

“Projects today are becoming much larger,” says Cusveller. “The new Calgary Green Line, for example, is north of $5 billion. It will be the largest project in the history of the city.”

Cusveller sees this continued focus on education as partially responsible for the current move underway for people from the industry to develop educational courses geared specifically for industry, such as courses on contract management. “The industry is starting to look inside of itself,” he says. “And it’s been really successful – both for the industry and the people working in it.”

Cusveller sees continued improvement in the years ahead with the industry taking on a more holistic approach to projects. “The future will be a place where projects are built not in a way that makes it the least expensive necessarily, but more about deciding on

says Poulsen. “There was a part of me that always wanted to help other people be successful. Over the years, I got to learn so much and meet so many people through my involvement with the Association. The industry has certainly given me much more than I have put in.”

Poulsen describes his year as Chair as one characterized by significant adjustments for the Association. “CCA really needed to change,” he says. “It had to build on its competency as a digital plan room and networking organization in order to remain meaningful to its members.”

Accomplishing this meant embarking upon a very difficult path and conducting some soul searching. “We undertook a lot of strategic work at the time,” says Poulsen. “We had to figure out who we were, what we were all about and who our members were. We did a deep dive into the data and found that the majority of our members were smaller firms of 10 employees or less. But that our overall volunteer component was primarily

“One of the biggest challenges facing this industry is the work force,” she says. “I think it’s really coming to a point where a lot of people are going to start retiring. That’s when we will really see it hit.”

CCA is helping to mitigate this shortage by attacking on two fronts: educating students on the rewards of a career in construction and changing the perception of the construction industry itself.

“We’ve recently starting working in partnership on a program that brings our message directly to students in junior high and high school,” says Innes.

“The goal of this pilot program is to attract more students into the trades by talking about the different types of jobs available and how construction can be a great career.”

On the other front, CCA and its members are making strides in advancing the degree of professionalism being practiced in the industry.

“There’s an outdated perception that construction sites have only male workers, with a lot of catcalls and whistling,” says Innes. “Those days are long gone. But the perception still exists. We need to educate people, and parents, about what a career in construction means today.”

Moving forward may be part and parcel of CCA’s message, but it is also in the very DNA of the Association itself.

“I think our secret tool for overcoming any challenge is Bill Black and his team,” says Innes. “He is so passionate about the members. His passion for the industry and his ability to look ahead is unequaled. He and his team are so focused on helping members, on making their lives better.”

As for Innes herself, she is enthusiastic about this new future being created. “It’s very exciting to be making change,” she says. “It’s all about putting yourself in the member experience. It is so rewarding to be involved in making changes that help our members. And, in so doing, help the industry.” u

DOWNTOWN CALGARY’S STRIKING SKYLINE OVER 80 YEARS Eclectic prairie city to dynamic, modern metropolis

By Bill Chomik

The year was 1972. I hailed from Edmonton (sorry, not my fault) where, at that time, besides studying classical music at the University of Alberta, I uncannily played in a pop band. Our group, Déjà Vu, was invited to play at a swanky nightclub in Calgary called Lucifer’s for a three-night gig. I had never been to Calgary before, and upon arriving, I was overwhelmed upon beholding the tallest building I had ever seen – the Husky Tower, now known as the Calgary Tower. That moment was seminal in capping my ultimate decision to abandon a music career and become an architect. I moved to Calgary in 1978 and since have watched our city grow from a small, eclectic prairie city to a

Calgary Tower’s arrival and the point in time when really tall buildings, the true “skyscrapers”, materialized in the downtown in the early 1980’s, many developers looking to attract mainly oil & gas companies, built 30 to 40-storey mid-rises and high-rises over a 60-block area. These dotted the downtown, primarily west of Centre Street, to create a skyline that took on a horizontal character with over 20 highrise buildings averaging 35 storeys in height.

These included, among many others, the stunning, contemporary 37-storey Nexen Building (1982) designed

by Fred Valentine of CPV and built by Cana; the incrementally built Bow Valley Square complex (1972 – 1982), with the tallest building being 39 storeys designed by WZMH and built by Cana; and the 41-storey First Canadian Centre (1982) designed by SOM and built

by PCL. Again, a fairly monolithic plane defined the skyline – this time at an elevation of 30 to 40 storeys, a skyline which continued to be punctured significantly by the Calgary Tower.

Then came the skyscrapers, ones that led to the stunning, electrifying skyline we see today, and adding to the densely packed urban condition that distinguishes Calgary’s downtown from many others in North America. The initial batch covers the mature oil & gas and finance boom years; the second, again after a pause, renders our current state where oil & gas and finance still reigned, but energy & environment, high-tech, digital media & entertainment, and residential uses took on a leading role.

The first out of the starting gate was the Petro-Canada Centre, known today as the Suncor Energy Centre (1984). Designed by WZMH and built by Cana, the two-tower complex reached the unprecedented height of 215 metres, beating the Calgary Tower by 24

metres. At 53 storeys, the east tower, topped with an impressive, sloped glass roof, changed a skyline that we had known for years, turning it from interesting to impressive.

The next skyscraper completed was the 52-storey Bankers Hall East (1989).

Then, after a hiatus in skyscraper building due to an oil & gas industry retraction that lasted over a decade, the 52-storey Bankers Hall West (2000) was completed. This “postmodern” style, twin-tower complex designed by Cohos Evamy (Dialog) sports silver and gold rooftop elements mimicking cowboy hats.

Again, a pause in skyscraper building lasted nearly a decade due to an oil & gas industry retraction but was rejuvenated by the announcement and eventual completion of The Bow (2012). At 58-storeys, this innovative tower designed by Foster + Partners with local architecture firm Zeidler and built by

Ledcor, focused on biophilic design. Its architectural hallmarks include its exoskeletal expression, curvilinear shape, and generous public plaza containing Jaume Plensa’s beautiful sculpture “Wonderland”.

The development of The Bow coincided with the generation of other 30 to 40-storey high-rises including, among others, the two-towered Centennial Place (2010) which was designed by WZMH with GGA. With a focus on sustainability, the two buildings contain antenna spires and curved roof forms that add exquisite detail to the skyline.

Three other highly distinctive skyscrapers followed, leading to the skyline we see today.

Eighth Avenue Place (2014), a twintower complex of 41 and 51 storeys respectively, brought another distinguishing form to the Calgary skyline.

Designed by Pickard Chilton with GGA and Kendall Heaton, the buildings con-

tain delightful angular roof elements that are lit at night, providing sparkle to the night skyline.

TELUS Sky (2020), designed by BIG with Dialog, created an architectural buzz that continues today. At 60 storeys, the twisting, pixelated facade is a treasure at night, adorning the skyline with Doug Coupland’s “Northern Lights”, a captivating LED presentation involving changing colours and movement, much like the northern lights themselves.

The denouement to the Calgary downtown skyline narrative that we see today is Brookfield Place, an elegant 56-storey glass extrusion designed by AFK with Dialog and built by EllisDon. As Calgary’s tallest building, Brookfield Place is the pinnacle structure marking what many have called one of the most striking skylines in North America.

The skyline gently extends beyond the downtown core, reaching into East

Village where a few handsome towers have added vibrancy to the rejuvenating area, and reaching into the Beltline and Sunalta communities where over two dozen residential towers dot the landscape. Cidex’s West Village Towers, technically within the west end of the downtown, have had a particular impact on the peripheral skyline. The towers’ sharply peaked roofs, framed in LED lighting, provide a provocative edge to the Calgary skyline during the day as well as at night.

In between all the historic buildings, mid-rise, high-rise, and skyscrapers that define our skyline sit some of the world’s most admired low-rise buildings and structures. These powerful architectural masterpieces were all designed by world-renowned architects in concert with local architectural

firms. Two buildings that have earned this distinction include the Calgary Central Library (2018), designed by Snohetta/Dialog and built by Stuart Olson, and the National Music Centre (2016), designed by Allied Works/Kasian and built by Cana.

In 80 years, the changes to our remarkable city have been breathtaking.

Lucifer’s Night Club is gone, the Palliser endures, and the Calgary Tower succeeds. The creation of one of the greatest city skylines in the world has been a joy to witness for Calgary’s citizens and visitors, and a highly rewarding adventure by all involved in its creation. This was all made possible by the politicians who paved the way for development; by developers and institutions who enthusiastically responded to commercial and community needs; by architects,

engineers, and specialists who courageously embraced their assignments; by the construction leaders, including general contractors, construction managers, subtrades and suppliers, who proudly erected their work; and by the Calgary Construction Association whose resource charity and guiding hand have driven the progress and excellence requisite in the construction industry to build the skyline we now have.

Bill Chomik is an architect with a worldwide portfolio of work. He has lived and practiced architecture in Calgary since 1978 and is responsible for the design of many of Calgary’s well-known buildings including the Calgary Courts Centre, National Music Centre, Taylor Family Digital Library, Calgary Humane Society, and Alberta Children’s Hospital. u

“I wanted it to be a space where members would be free to come and use at any time, whether for planned meetings with clients or in between meetings when they happen to be in the area,” says Bill Black, President, CCA. “We also wanted a space of our own where we could host a variety of events – like keynotes, panels and socials – to create a stronger sense of connection and community.”

Lawson and her team opened the space, using modular office partitions instead of “stick-built” partitioning to provide fluidity, as well as to create a clean, collaborative, and lightfilled environment.

“We designed the balance of the space to serve as an open, flexible working area for members, as well as a welcoming hospitality space,” says Lawson, adding that design elements included an upscale kitchen/bar area using solid surface, stone-like countertops, mirrored backsplash, glass shelving, and built-in appliances and storage.

The other fixed area is a working boardroom, where the design team

“There are some challenges in opening up the ceiling in very old spaces,”

BREAKING NEW GROUND: KI INTERNATIONAL’S DEPLOYMENT OF CANADA’S FIRST ELECTRIC DRILLING RIG

By Alex Williamson, Business Manager, Ki International

Gordon Williamson, President, and Nizar Abou Ltaif, Vice President.

PHOTOS PROVIDED BY ASHLEY RAE PHOTOGRAPHY AND GORDON WILLIAMSON.

In the winter of 2024, Ki Piling and Shoring (Ki) made construction history when we broke ground with the LB 30 Unplugged drilling rig. Manufactured

by Liebherr, the LB 30 Unplugged is the first zero-emissions drilling rig to be used in North America.

We first deployed the LB 30 Unplugged to construct a new pedestrian overpass being installed at 16th Avenue and 29th Street NW, near the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary. The pedestrian overpass is owned by the City of Calgary, with Gra-

ham Construction engaged as general contractor.

We added the LB 30 Unplugged to our fleet to make a positive impact in our community and industry. After acquiring the rig and training with Liebherr, our focus shifted to testing its capabilities in a challenging job that would truly push this innovative equipment to its limits. We got what we asked for.

Ki has always been a company focussed on creating solutions. Gordon Williamson, President and owner of Ki, began his career as an electrician. In

the early 2000s, Williamson repeatedly observed a shortage of piling contractors, leading to frequent delays in the projects he worked on. Inspired by this local demand, he created Ki, and he never looked back. The first drilling rig procured by Ki was a John Deere with a Bayshore Systems LoDril attachment, which at the time was one of the only LoDril’s operating in Alberta. This allowed Ki to carve out a name for itself by taking on jobs that larger conventional drilling rigs couldn’t reach, and where agility and versatility were required. Ki grew slowly and steadily and

Ki International and Liebherr are evolving the piling industry with the new LB 30 Unplugged… the first fully electric drilling rig in Canada. We are advancing sustainability in the construction industry.

is still going strong and bringing innovation in 2024.

The LB 30 Unplugged is the latest step in Ki’s development. The drill rig runs entirely on an electric motor, which

can be powered by its onboard batteries or by plugging into an electrical source.

The LB 30 Unplugged is significantly quieter than a diesel piling rig and produces zero emissions. The LB 30 Un-

plugged was shipped to Alberta from California. Upon its arrival, we worked with Liebherr’s technicians to master the operation and setup of the drill rig.

Once proficient, our focus shifted to finding a challenging job to test its capabilities.

The Foothills Hospital in Northwest Calgary is the largest hospital centre in the province of Alberta. With any medical centre of this size, access is a constant challenge. Each day, the Foothills hosts patients seeking medical attention, students from the nearby University of Calgary, and many workers and visitors. It is located on 16th Avenue, a major roadway and part of the TransCanada Highway 1. The new pedestrian bridge crosses 16th Avenue near the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and UXBorough mixed-use developments. The piling scope consists of 26 large diametre piles, the largest of which was 1000mm in diametre, and 18 metres deep. All

to best serve the community, patients, and staff effectively.

The piling scope for 16th Avenue was completed on February 9, 2024, and it presented a number of challenges, including soft ground, sloughing, mud, water, sand, and silt. Being located directly beside the Foothills Hospital led to a new set of challenges as well, including the imperative of allowing emergency vehicles passage, and respecting the patients who were seeking treatment. Our field workers needed to quickly learn new skills around the LB 30, including managing large electrical cables. Moreover, the weather in January fluctuated constantly, heading from over 10C to under -36C, with a windchill of -40C. The LB 30 Unplugged performed famously. It was more than capable of handling casing and the large rebar cages reinforcing the piles. The electric systems on the rig withstood the intense cold when prepared appropriately. While the rig can also be plugged directly into the power grid, it was decided that portable generators would allow more consistent workflow. While the generators ran using diesel fuel, the amount was substantially less than the internal combustion engine in a traditional piling rig would have required.

With no combustion engine onboard, the silent nature of the machine increased safety by allowing emergency vehicles to be heard more clearly, and it caused less noise pollution for medi-

NEW LOCAL INITIATIVE BRINGS INDUSTRY TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE EMISSIONS-NEUTRAL BUILDINGS IN ALBERTA

L-R: Mayor Jyoti Gondek, Councillor Evan Spencer, Andrea Linsky, Neil Hawkins, Bill Black, Steve Norris

Building, construction, and renovation professionals interested in learning about how to significantly reduce emissions from buildings in Alberta can now benefit from the support of a new local initiative.

The Emissions-Neutral Buildings Information Exchange (ENBIX), is a collaborative initiative that brings industry together to share knowledge, build capacity, and support building and renovation practices across Alberta.

The goal of this initiative is to accelerate the transition to an emissionsneutral built environment for new and existing buildings.

124 Calgary Construction Association

The term “emission-neutral building” refers to a building that is highly efficient and uses only renewable energy for its operations. These buildings use less energy, have lesser impact on the environment and are more comfortable for the occupants.

“We have heard from industry leaders the need to build better for commercial and environmental reasons, and to prepare for the adoption of higher tiers of building code in Alberta,” says Andrea Linsky, Director, Emissions-Neutral Buildings with Alberta Ecotrust Foundation. “ENBIX is here to work with industry to advance

more affordable emissions-neutral buildings, by sharing information, fostering innovation and strengthening collaboration.”

ENBIX is an industry collaboration led by the Alberta Ecotrust Foundation, with financial support from its Climate Innovation Fund and from the cities of Calgary and Edmonton. It works closely with industry partners such as the Calgary Construction Association and the Smart Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Association.

“We are creating momentum for action with ENBIX that will build over the next several years and beyond,” says

Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. “Building capacity for emissions-neutral construction across the whole development ecosystem – from construction to manufacturing, supply, training, operating, and more is critical in getting us to net-zero buildings by 2050.”

Commercial and residential buildings are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions across Canada. In Calgary alone, the building stock accounts for about 60 per cent of emissions.

One of the key ways that ENBIX collaborates with partners, government, and local professionals working in the building, construction, and renovation industry, are the Communities of Practice. Communities of Practice bring local industry practitioners together to identify challenges and opportunities for emissions-neutral buildings, overcome barriers, foster innovation, and share success stories. The first ENBIX Calgary Community of Practice took place on February 28, 2024 at the Calgary Construction Association.

“The launch of the ENBIX Calgary

Communities of Practice marks a pivotal moment in our industry’s commitment to high-performance buildings, especially in terms of long-term energy consumption and carbon footprint,” says Bill Black, President and CEO, Calgary Construction Association. “By focusing on realistic solutions, and through collaboration and knowledge sharing, the leaders in our construction industry are taking proactive steps to mitigate our carbon footprint and contribute to a greener, cleaner future for Calgary.”

During the event, residential builders Steve Norris of SNAP Building / Plaid Shirt Developments and Neil Hawkins of Avalon Master Builder shared their journey to building towards emissions-neutral standards in Calgary. Both builders showcased their recent multi-unit residential projects and addressed how they achieve comfortable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient homes.

One example is Avalon Master Builder’s Emerge Arbour Lake Project, an 87-unit net zero/net zero-ready townhouse complex, that has achieved a 70 per cent reduction in emissions compared to a code-compliant development. Net Zero refers to buildings that produce as much clean energy as they consume, according to the Canadian Home Builders’ Association.

Both builders mentioned partnerships, knowledge sharing, and positioning themselves with a good team as examples of how they achieved their success. They also admitted there are challenges to thinking beyond the status quo.

Through the ENBIX Calgary Communities of Practice, participants can learn from the experience of local participants such as Avalon Master Builder and SNAP Building, as well as share their own barriers and successes. While this time the topic was residential buildings, ENBIX focuses on all

types of buildings, including commercial and institutional projects.

ENBIX launched in December 2023, and it has quickly become the place to go for emissions-neutral building information and collaboration in Alberta. In addition to the Communities of Practice and the sharing of success stories, ENBIX offers: • A growing resource library of case studies, research, and guidelines.

• Capacity building for individuals and organizations through training resources, courses, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

• Opportunities for research, idea generation, and creation of materials to meet the needs of the industry.

results in a ballooning financial liability but also worsens our ever-growing existing infrastructure deficit.

The impact of this reduced funding is further compounded by procurement strategies, used by the City of Calgary and the provincial government, which transfers the owner’s risk onto contractors. Those in industry know, and have been telling our governments, that transferring the risk does not make the

risk go away… but it does drive up the cost of a project because contractors then need to factor this risk into their pricing. It also leaves a less competitive bidding field as many contractors simply choose to work with more reasonable clients – and less competition does not drive better value for taxpayers.

Governments at all levels must reverse these investment killing policies and work with industry to be more transparent, and fair, with public procurement.

Our ask of governments is simple.

First, manage risks reasonably. This will improve competition and help manage costs, delivering more value for each dollar spent. Second, produce a longterm and adequately funded strategic infrastructure plan. This will ensure a clear vision and adequate budget for our infrastructure needs to support our economic and housing needs are being met.

Alberta is growing, and inflation keeps increasing. It is time to stop wasting time and money, because getting this right matters.

ARHCA and CCA have been partners in advocating for common sense infrastructure planning and investment.

Voices like the CCA’s matter today more than ever before.

The ARHCA congratulates you on 80 years of service and look forward to building with you for the next 80 years. u

dustry will continue to be fueled by the immigration of new Canadians, as well as the drive for a more diverse and sustainable economy. “The constraints faced by the industry will no doubt be related to skilled labour—and more specifically—the lack thereof. The industry will have to be mindful of not only the skill level of available labour, but also whether we have the right kind of skilled labour available to fuel and sustain that growth.”

However, on the good side, Bobocel adds, “With the drivers of efficiency and sustainability being at the forefront of the construction industry, the future of the industry knows no bounds.”

McIntosh adds that within the next decade, the construction industry will be faced with labour shortages at all levels.

“With the high immigration rate to Canada, the push for housing, hospitals, and many other levels of infrastructure the construction industry will feel the pressures to fill these needs. The CCA has been pushing for more focus to be put on the benefits of the trades at the school level to inform the younger generation of the options available to them in the trades. This push needs to continue in order to fill the positions required to keep industry moving.”

And let’s not forget our climate crises and the race to reduce our carbon impact.

industry stakeholders. NAOIP has a rich history dating back

Alongside the CCA, several associations play crucial roles in shaping Calgary’s built environment and construction ecosystem. The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) has been active since 1960. BOMA focuses on representing the interests of building owners and managers, advocating for best practices in building management, sustainability, and operational efficiency. By providing educational resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy, BOMA contributes to the overall improvement of building standards and practices in Calgary.

Another prominent association working in alignment with the CCA is the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). Established in 1943, BILD represents a wide range of professionals involved in land development, home

to 1967, focusing on advancing the interests of office and industrial property developers, owners, and investors. The association advocates for conducive regulatory environments, promotes investment opportunities, and provides networking platforms for industry professionals. NAOIP’s efforts contribute to the development of quality commercial spaces, infrastructure, and economic growth in Calgary.

Despite their diverse focuses, these associations share several key similarities. They are all committed to promoting excellence, sustainability, and innovation within the construction and real estate sectors. Additionally, they serve as platforms for networking, knowledge-sharing, and advocacy, enabling stakeholders to collaborate and address common

building, and renovation sectors. BILD’s mission encom-

rience needed to become the strong foundation of a thriving company.

“For over 40 years, ITC has emphasized a culture where staff are encouraged to pursue personal and professional development and obtain accreditations in their field such as becoming a Gold Seal Certified Employee,” says Brad Burnett, GSC and Executive VicePresident of ITC Construction Group.

“For ITC, being recognized as a Gold Seal Employer means committing to and supporting the ongoing growth & development of our team. As a Gold Seal Certified Estimator myself, I can personally speak to the value of obtaining this certification.”

The Gold Seal Certification Program now recognizes 35 Gold Seal Employers across Canada!

• Acadian Construction • Acres Enterprises • Atwill-Morin Ltd. • Avondale Construction • Ball Construction • Baribeau Construction

• Professional Excavators & Construction Inc. • RCS construction • Shunda • Simpson Building Contractors Ltd • Speers Construction Inc. • Trigon Construction Management • Unitech Construction Management • Wescor Contracting Ltd. • Westcor • Wildstone Construction Group To learn more about becoming a Gold Seal Employer, contact the Gold Seal team at goldseal@cca-acc.com.

SHOWCASE INNOVATION WITH A GOLD SEAL PROJECT Along with industry recognition for supporting continuous professional development, becoming a Gold Seal Employer provides an opportunity to have one of your projects recognized as a Gold Seal Project. This recognition provides increased promotion and exposure for your organization’s featured projects.

Recognizing a project within an organization as a certified Gold Seal Project is also a great way to encourage eligible job site staff to become certified and gain visibility for an employer’s commitment to professional development.

Gold Seal Projects promote the value of Gold Seal Certified professionals on a project site and educate those who are not yet certified about the value of certification. A Gold Seal Project demonstrates a company’s ability to manage and undertake challenging construction projects and showcases its professionalism and expertise in the construction industry.

In October 2023, CCA launched an industry call to action urging the federal government to partner with the construction industry on building a strong foundation for a stronger Canada. This campaign was bolstered by our annual Hill Day event on November 7, where close to 100 industry experts met with parliamentarians to discuss the construction sector’s essential role in creating and maintaining the infrastructure Canadians use daily.

Focused on highlighting the vital link between housing and essential social and public infrastructure, CCA’s recommendations to the federal government in advance of Budget 2024 detailed the overlooked yet fundamental
