Power in Unity

In a year marked by political change and economic uncertainty, Canada’s construction industry is not standing still – we’re shaping the future, and at the core of that momentum is partnership. Thanks to the unwavering support and collaboration of partner association members, such as SHCA, CCA is not only elevating our industry’s national voice. We are turning that voice into action, influence and results.

Advocacy that delivers

When economic uncertainty hit and Canada-U.S. trade tensions escalated, CCA quickly recalibrated. We identified key issues affecting your business, including trade-enabling infrastructure, fair and transparent procurement and strengthening Canada-U.S. relations. We took those priorities straight to Finance Canada, Public Services and Procurement Canada, Canada’s U.S. ambassador and national business leaders. We joined the Canada-U.S. Trade Council to ensure construction has a seat at the table and a say in shaping continental trade. We also strengthened ties with groups like the Canadian American Business Council, forging alliances to tackle common challenges.

Thanks to the unwavering support and collaboration of partner association members like SHCA, CCA is not only elevating our industry’s national voice. We are turning that voice into action, influence and results.

Our national election campaign, Construction for Canadians, brought the industry’s voice to the national stage, with 74 candidate testimonials, 84 pledges of support, four billion media impressions and 165 national media hits. We put construction at the centre of critical policy debates around economic resilience, infrastructure investment and workforce development – exactly what Canada needs in this next chapter of nation-building.

These efforts are already making waves. Our priorities were reflected in the federal mandate letters, the speech from the throne and plans for a new Major Federal Project Office – a sign that the federal government is hearing our message loud and clear. CCA is already building relationships with newly elected MPs and ministers, laying the foundation for a powerful Hill Day and Meech Lake meeting in the fall. Together, we’ll advocate for the investments, policies and tools that Canada’s construction industry needs to drive our economic prosperity.

The road ahead

CCA is moving full speed ahead to ensure the momentum it built is not lost. The construction sector, backed by partners like SHCA, will continue pushing for the policies and investments that will move the industry forward. With strong partnerships, a united voice and a clear vision, we can build a more resilient supply chain, a stronger workforce and the modern infrastructure Canadians need. CCA is committed to advocating for the tools, policies and investments that will allow our industry to thrive – not just for today, but for generations to come.
