Top news this week includes Statistics Canada reporting that June’s building construction investment continues to increase. Although COVID-19-related workplace guidelines remained in place, construction sites were largely back to normal activity. Also scientists report a brand-new way to repair roads that’s also eco-friendly — by using a remnant of wastewater treatment called grit that’s usually disposed of in landfills.

Links to these stories and more in this week’s edition.
