Welcome to this week’s News Round Up published by Construction Links Network. 

It has been a sad weekend for Canada’s construction industry. On Friday, two construction workers died and four were sent to hospital following a building collapse in London. Another accident on Saturday involved a worker falling to his death at a construction site in Calgary. My condolences to all the families affected.
