This week I want to give a shoutout to all the generous people from our industry that work hard at giving back to local communities during a time of need.

Notable mention to the Vancouver-area construction workers, who on their own initiative, managed to donate over $17K worth of food to the local food bank. Also kudos to Ledcor for donating $400K to food banks throughout North America. Last but certainly not least, special mention to Aoyuan International for their $25K donation to the North York Harvest Food Bank.

Until next week, be strong, healthy and safe.

Best Regards,

Arnie Gess, Publisher and President Construction Links Network
