Together, we are better. Now that we are able to host and attend events, we have a few coming up that offer all our members great opportunities to advance their interests.

Mark your calendars with a couple of events this November!

The first is the MLA Reception that the Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association (SHCA) is hosting on Nov. 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. This event is your opportunity to meet with provincial MLAs from both sides of the legislature to talk to them, face to face, about your business as well as the industry. 

Whatever insights, issues or topics you think these MLAs need to recognize is up for discussion when we get together in Room 218 at the Legislative Building in Regina. Encourage other members to attend. The more people we have out, the more we can amplify the relevant messages about our industry. 

Please pre-register if you are planning to attend this reception. The SHCA needs to provide the legislative staff with a list of those attending. To pre-register, please contact traceyk@saskheavy.ca or slipp@saskheavy.ca. The earlier you register, the better!

The second event is the SHCA Fall Convention, which is set for Nov. 25-26 in Saskatoon. For two days, we will gather at the Delta Bessborough Hotel and Convention Centre to hear engaging speakers and participate in conversations about our industry. 

The Chairman’s Banquet will take place on Friday evening. New this year is a maximum capacity of 300 delegates. That makes early convention and room registration extra important! 

Registration links are now open and available for the SHCA room block.  More details about the convention will be released as we move towards November. 

Events like these are important to our members because they help develop and strengthen the voice of the association. Gathering to share our experiences, ideas and suggestions helps our members recognize and realize improvements and opportunities. It is how our members can find and form the connections that make their businesses and this industry even better. 

I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at these events and learning more about your current interests and ideas, so I can best represent you and our industry.
