Buildforce Magazine
Canada’s construction industry is facing a pivotal moment. As demand for housing, infrastructure, energy projects, and workforce development continues to grow, no single organization, employer, government, or industry partner can meet these challenges alone. The Fall 2026 issue of BuildForce Magazine explores the partnerships, collaborations, and innovative approaches helping industry build the workforce needed for Canada’s future.
Throughout this issue, industry leaders, educators, employers, government representatives, and community organizations share perspectives on the power of working together to strengthen recruitment, support apprentices, create opportunities for underrepresented groups, improve productivity, and deliver the major projects Canadians depend on. From workforce development initiatives and apprenticeship innovation to community engagement and industry-led solutions, these stories highlight collaboration in action.
At BuildForce Canada, partnerships are at the heart of everything we do. This issue demonstrates how bringing stakeholders together can help address labour market challenges, support economic growth, and build a stronger, more resilient construction industry for generations to come.
2026 Annual Report
A year of change leads to new opportunities.
Canada is at a turning point. The cumulative efforts and investments among all levels of government represent a national agenda to build homes, pipelines, mines, power grids, roads, bridges and rail lines at a scope and speed not seen in more than 70 years and at a pace that is nothing short
of extraordinary. That momentum creates real potential – for communities, for businesses, and for the people who do the work in the skilled trades
and construction-related occupations.
This year’s annual report describes the significant efforts and results that come with our production of evidence-based labour market information, forward-looking insights, and practical products and tools.
