Construction – It’s a Huge Success Story

CCA joined the picture in Ottawa in 1918. About 200 energetic industry leaders met and their collaboration sowed the seeds of today’s association. They wanted to improve conditions and inform people about the industry – and they succeeded.

They used their collective strength to shine a light on industry relationships and practices, standards for business ethics, education and labour matters. Their efforts have had a powerful voice and a source of support for the Canadian industry.

Today, construction is a gigantic industry that touches the life of every person in Canada. It’s a deeply entrenched and important part of our history, yet stretches dynamically into our future.

Who’s the Power Behind CCA Today?

The short answer is industry people. The major decisions and directions are made by an executive committee, an elected volunteer board of directors from accross the country as well as various councils and standing committees. These people are the driving force for the organization.

At the same time, the day-to-day machinery of CCA is nurtured and guided by its full-time President and staff in the Ottawa office.
