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

Top stories this week include BOMA Québec announcing the winners of year 2 of the Building Energy Challenge. Big congratulations to all the winners. Also the rehabilitation of Calgary’s 109-year-old City Hall has been completed after four years. It is a beautiful building and one that I have been in before. I look forward to my next visit to see the changes.

There are more news items below for your reading pleasure. 

Have a great week!

Best Regards,
