As we celebrate Labour Day, this week’s edition of the News Round Up is dedicated to all the hard working women and men in the construction and building industry. 2020 has not been easy, yet our industry remains generally vibrant because of the people working on construction sites across Canada.

So I personally tip my hardhat and say thank you!

Have a safe week.
