Employing more than 20,000 skilled construction workers across Canada, PCA members are recognized as leaders in industrial, commercial, institutional, and heavy civil construction and maintenance.
We are the builders of Canada’s natural resource industries, roads and bridges, pipelines, water and wastewater treatment facilities, schools, hospitals, and the commercial buildings that form the backbone of our economy.
The unique and strong partnership our companies enjoy with their employees and the close collaboration of the progressive labour model gives PCA members a distinct productivity and safety advantage over the competition.
In short, we are building Canada together.
