Upskilling Canada’s construction workforce may be one of the fastest ways to address labour shortages. Dual ticketing and multi-skilling are giving workers more options and giving employers more flexibility. Read this article in BuildForce Magazine. flip.matrixgroupinc.net/bfca/2025/fall…
In 2024, the construction industry didn’t just meet demand—it evolved. More women, more youth, more immigrants, and stronger recruitment systems helped shape a workforce that’s more inclusive and forward-looking. buildforce.ca/en/blog/review…
Behind 2024’s numbers lie powerful shifts in construction markets. BuildForce Canada's new blog highlights how economic and demographic trends are reshaping where, and how, Canada is building. buildforce.ca/en/blog/review…
Looking forward to this event next week. Thank you to @OnSiteMag for putting this together.
Canada’s construction industry is facing serious skilled labour shortages. Join us at WorkForce ’25—a virtual event focused on real strategies to attract and retain the skilled workforce we need. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… #WorkForce25 @OnSiteMag
Canada’s construction labour force has grown by 740,000 workers since 2002. But recent years have seen shifting employment trends as labour markets adjust post-pandemic. In 2024, unemployment in the industry averaged 5.6%, up slightly from previous years. buildforce.ca/en/press-relea…
By 2034, non-residential employment is projected to be 9% higher than in 2024. See the full forecast in our latest report. buildforce.ca/en/press-relea…
Ontario’s non-residential construction sector is set to reach a peak in 2027, with major transit, mining, nuclear, and infrastructure projects leading the way. Investment then moderates but remains elevated to the end of the decade. buildforce.ca/en/press-relea…
BC’s residential construction sector grew in 2024, but it wasn’t enough to offset a slowdown in non-residential activity. While new-home construction is expected to decline in the years ahead, strong demand for renovations will keep the sector stable. buildforce.ca/en/press-relea…
Residential construction in Manitoba is set to grow as interest rates ease and population growth supports demand. Housing starts are expected to average 7,700 units per year, with renovation activity picking up in later years. buildforce.ca/en/press-relea…
The 2025–2034 Construction & Maintenance Outlook for Canada is now available. It highlights key trends in residential and non-residential construction, labour force challenges, and what to expect over the next decade. Read the full report now. buildforce.ca/en/press-relea…
Canada’s construction labour force is facing a critical decade. To meet projected growth and replace retirees, the industry will need to recruit 154,100 workers by 2034. This includes replacing the 90,300 workers—roughly 1 in 5—expected to retire.
Ontario’s construction job market remained flat over the past 12 months, with residential activity slowing, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area. See the latest trends on our Labour Market Corner blog. buildforce.ca/en/blog/februa…

This week, we celebrate Women in Construction Week—a time to recognize the women making an impact in Canada’s construction industry. #WomenInConstruction #WICweek
The face of construction is changing, and young women are leading the charge. With more women entering the trades than ever before, the future looks bright. Explore how this shift is transforming the industry. lnkd.in/gbA6T83u #WomenInConstruction #WICWeek
A closer look at key industry metrics suggests January’s employment growth may be driven by recovering demand for residential construction. The number and value of residential permits increased in December 2024. Read our Labour Market Corner blog for more. buildforce.ca/en/blog/constr…
A new initiative in Alberta is focusing on mental health and wellness for construction workers. Discover how this program is helping workers build resilience on the job in BuildForce Magazine. flip.matrixgroupinc.net/bfca/2024/fall…
Several provinces reported employment increases over the past 12 months. Leading the way were British Columbia (+24,400 workers), Quebec (+23,600 workers), and Alberta (+20,300 workers). Learn more. buildforce.ca/en/blog/constr…
Creating a respectful and inclusive workplace starts with education. This course helps construction teams improve communication, decision-making, and mentorship across diverse backgrounds. bit.ly/4aSFB96
