2025 Annual Report
Over the past year, BuildForce Canada undertook a major redesign of its corporate website and Construction Forecasts platform, significantly enhancing the dissemination of information to stakeholders across the construction sector.
A key element of this initiative is the integration of interactive data-visualization tools, enabling industry stakeholders, policymakers, and educators to more effectively explore and interpret current construction data and labour market information.
Projects such as these complement our LMI work and are further evidence of BuildForce’s ongoing work to support construction’s labour market development needs.
