The Vancouver Island Construction Association is pleased to announce the recipients of the 4th Annual VICA Awards, which recognize individuals and companies who have dedicated themselves to building excellence and advancing the construction sector on Vancouver Island.

“The VICA Awards are a symbol of pride as we showcase and celebrate the contributions and achievements of VICA Member companies” said Rory Kulmala, CEO, Vancouver Island Construction Association (VICA). “The crop of winners for this year’s awards reaffirms that Vancouver Island is home to some of British Columbia’s most competent, detail-focused and dedicated construction companies”

The 4th Annual VICA Awards, in conjunction with the BC Construction Association’s Construction Month, were presented during the 2023 Vancouver Island Construction Conference, which was held at the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort on April 14th in Victoria, BC.

Among the recipients is Victoria-based RC Roofing Ltd., who was awarded the VICA Member of the Year Award (1 – 20 Employees) for its support of the Association via long-time membership, engagement, event sponsorship, as well as supporting VICA’s Construct Your Future (CYF) Youth Employment Program through engagement and hiring students. VICA’s CYF Program specializes in supporting 18 – 29-year-olds who may have barriers to employment, and equips them with industry certifications, work experience, life skills and companies like RC Roofing play an integral part in making the CYF program a success.

“As a small business owner in the construction industry, the advantages and opportunities presented through my VICA Membership have been critical to RC Roofing’s growth and success,” said RC Roofing Owner Roy Corbett. “I’ve always believed in giving back to the industry, and it gives me great joy to support the association through its various programs — especially working with the students from CYF”.

The 2023 VICA Awards saw an equal representation of projects across Vancouver Island, with winning projects from Port Hardy down to Victoria. This year’s panel of judges consisted of industry veterans, Katy Fairley (Fairley Strategies), Mark Taylor (Mark Taylor Construction Advisory Services), and Jac-Lyn Mickelson (MGM Mechanical).
