Construction sector united in fight against COVID-19
Vancouver Sun Op-ed - CHBA BC Signatory

"As an essential service, the BC construction industry understood its responsibility to the province, continuing to build essential infrastructure to serve its people, ensuring that construction projects already underway were taken to a point where they were safe and secure and ensuring that the core of the province’s economy continued to operate... The construction industry’s response has not always been perfect, but it has been successful to date. So far, no outbreaks or clusters have been reported, and as of May 13, WorkSafeBC has recorded only one incident of a construction worker contracting COVID-19 on a job site."

Georgie's Corner
We are excited to announce that for the first time ever, the Georgie Awards will be held online, in a virtual format, scheduled for June 26. We had hoped that we could still hold an in-person gala later this year; however, in keeping with an abundance of caution, we have altered this year’s format, as there are ongoing restrictions on public gatherings and following the Association’s responsibility towards ensuring public health and safety during this pandemic.
