TCA's Annual Golf Day: Recap | |
|
On May 9, 2024, another exciting year of summer events kicked off with the Toronto Construction Association’s Golf Tournament. The sell-out event featured two courses and welcomed industry leaders under sunny, albeit cool, skies, making it one of the highlights of the industry calendar.
Angus Glen once again provided a stunning backdrop, offering its pristine courses and exceptional service, along with delicious catering.
We extend our gratitude to Home Depot, our platinum sponsor, who generously contributed prizes for the Orange Door Initiative raffle. Among the prizes was a state-of-the-art BBQ, adding to the day's excitement.
We are immensely grateful to the following companies whose sponsorship support made the 2024 TCA Golf Tournament possible: Home Depot Canada, United Rentals, Beedie Construction, Big Steel Box, MYC Media, Northbridge Insurance, Herman’s Supply, Canadian Cutting and Coring, Alliance Creative, Premier Construction Software, Triumph, Atwill-Morin and Associates, Western Surety, Magil Construction, MGI Construction, Supreme Galvanizing, and Bobcat Construction.
A sincere thank you to all who attended this highly anticipated event. Tickets sold out in less than two days, a testament to the unwavering support of our members. Your presence motivates us to enhance each event continually.
Please note that next year's golf event will occur on May 29th at Angus Glen. Let's hope for a few more weeks of spring to add to the excitement. We look forward to seeing you all there.
Also, don't forget to watch for the Women’s Golf Event on September 12th. Tickets will go on sale soon.

Lean Pull Planning (Lean Construction – a Last Planner™ Simulation)
Workshop Overview
Learn how to improve upon traditional scheduling that uses the critical path method. While CPM is a method that has been used for many decades there are many problems that make it slow to recover and adapt to impacts and changes to the schedule. The Last Planner™ System takes the CPM master schedule at the highest level and provides a methodology that is designed to increase productivity and accountability through collaboratively managing workflow on a project. This workshop demonstrates the value of collaborative planning and project execution using the principles of the Last Planner™ System so that users truly understand how to bring the Last Planner™ System to life in a construction setting.
Topics Covered
- Understand and distinguish between traditional push planning and pull planning
- The impact of variation on your schedule
- Orientation to the Last Planner™ System
- Planned Percent Complete (PPC)
- Constraint Logs
- Experience a collaborative pull planning session

$56M Brantford police station the city’s first municipal net-zero carbon build
Members of the Brantford Police Service as well as municipal and provincial officials recently gathered to break ground for a redeveloped police service station at 344 Elgin St.
The 127,217-square-foot redevelopment is an extension of the current station and is designed to accommodate the evolving needs of the police service and the community for the next 25 to 30 years.
The $56-million project, spearheaded by Melloul Blamey Construction, will adhere to a net-zero carbon building design and is in alignment with the city’s declaration of a Climate Emergency in 2019.
The proposed features of the three-storey redevelopment include triple-paned windows, a highly-efficient HVAC system to reduce energy consumption, ultralow-flow plumbing fixtures to minimize water usage, LED lighting with photocells for adaptive lighting control, and the installation of solar panels on the roof.
City council approved plans for the redevelopment in June 2022 as the service has outgrown the building that officially opened in January 1992 and expanded in 2006. To remain functional with limited space, some of the operations, including the training division, had to be moved to other available space in the community.
The building will provide Brantford police officers and police professionals with efficient work spaces, community meeting areas and advanced technology which will enable them to respond more effectively and efficiently to the needs of the community.
The project, which has been a long time coming in the growing community, was designed by +VG Architects.
The project also goes beyond a new work facility for members of the Brantford Police Service with a community room being part of the redevelopment. It can be used internally for board meetings as well as for other events and activities by the community at large.
The targeted completion timeline of the revamped Brantford Police Service station is 30 months.
Architect: +VG Architects
GC: Melloul Blamey Construction
