The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) is pleased to announce that General (Ret’d) Rick Hillier will be headlining its virtual annual conference this year. His keynote on adaptive leadership in the next normal will kick off a carefully curated program of presentations, workshops and social mixers designed to connect industry members, and made possible by our presenting sponsor, Travelers Canada.

This premier virtual event, taking place March 23 – 25, 2021 will bring industry members together to share best practices, network, stay current on industry trends and celebrate members accomplishments through our National Awards program sponsored by Northbridge Insurance – proving that we as an industry are Virtually Unstoppable! Registration is now open.

CCA is also delighted to be hosting three social events including an evening of laughs with Dan Aykroyd and Crystal Head Vodka.

Other sessions to note include a tête à tête with CCA President Mary Van Buren on the Canadian political landscape, a discussion on how the pandemic has impacted the future direction of Canadian infrastructure planning, a CCDC check-in on what’s new and what’s coming, as well as panels on futureproofing your business, crisis management, digital readiness, mental health in the workplace, and tips on managing financial risk in times of uncertainty.   

This year’s conference will be an interactive and engaging experience for all attendees, with a compelling program, virtual tradeshow, and social mixers. The online platform will also allow delegates to network by text or video.
