The VICA Awards were held virtually on April 29th. The awards recognize the work of members across Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and coastal British Columbia.
The awards are open to all VICA members in good standing at time of submission and are judged by a panel of esteemed industry professionals from across the industrial, commercial, institutional, civil and multi-family residential construction sectors.
“In what has been a turbulent past two years, I am proud of the resilience and dedication that VICA Members have displayed,” says Rory Kulmala, CEO of the Vancouver Island Construction Association (VICA). “Our VICA Awards recognize their efforts, showcasing the best work being done on Vancouver Island.
