CCA launches industry call to action to urge feds to develop long-term infrastructure strategy
The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) is launching an industry call to action urging the federal government to partner with the construction industry to create “a strong foundation for a stronger Canada.”

With the current construction workforce shortage, the industry does not have the workers required to meet projected needs, states a release.
Inflation, rising interest rates, affordability and Canada’s deteriorating foundational infrastructure, are compounding the problem.
