The Canadian Construction Association’s (CCA) National Awards ceremony was held on March 13, 2026, during the 2026 CCA Annual Conference. The annual awards recognize excellence, safety, and leadership within the industry.
“This year’s award recipients demonstrate the best of the best of our industry. Congratulations to everyone for the recognition of their great achievements,” said Rodrigue Gilbert, president of CCA.
PCL Construction was a triple winner, receiving awards for Environmental Achievement and Excellence in Innovation as well as the Young Leader Award.
PCL was recognized for its exemplary environmental conduct for the 10-storey, net-zero mass timber educational facility, Limberlost Place in Toronto. The company’s Beeline (digital construction optimization suite) was recognized for advancing innovation within the industry.
“These national recognitions are a tremendous source of pride for PCL and reflect the passion, expertise and leadership our teams bring to their work every day,” said Mike Wieninger, chief operating officer, Canadian Operations, PCL Construction. “Being recognized by the Canadian Construction Association for environmental leadership, innovation and emerging leadership speaks to the breadth of talent across our organization and our commitment to advancing the industry in meaningful ways.”
The Vancouver Regional Construction Association won the CCA 2025 Partner Association Award, which recognizes CCA integrated partner associations who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in industry enhancement (through lobbying, government relations, etc.), education and member recruitment.
In 2025, the VRCA moved beyond traditional advocacy, delivering a bold solution focused approach powered by data, storytelling, and direct member engagement. They delivered advocacy briefs, rapid response insights, weekly updates, and the Builder Bench podcast, ensuring members stayed informed, prepared, and ahead of change.
