l was grateful to be invited to Procore’s Next Step Summit last week which gave me a better understanding of all their great innovations for the construction and building industry. Also being a proud Albertan, it is fantastic to see our construction companies investing in new equipment from Finning Canada – especially considering all the difficult times our province has faced over the past few years. Well done!

Special thanks to Procore and Finning for being a member of Construction Links Network and using this platform as part of your content distribution strategy.

Read all about these stories and more in this week’s Round Up E-newsletter.

The news deadline each week will now be Friday at 5:00 pm. If you have a news item that is of interest to Canada’s construction, building and design community, feel free to submit to me directly.

Thanks for reading and have a safe week.

Best Regards,

Arnie Gess, Publisher and President Construction Links Network
