Community Building Standard


A new Community Building Standard means ensuring infrastructure projects in Canada are built the right way. This means ensuring major projects that are delivered across Canada are focused on three core principles – a commitment to safety and quality, investing in trades and apprenticeships, and leaving a positive community legacy.

A Commitment to Safety and Quality

Projects need to be built to the highest environmental standards so that future generations feel a sense of pride knowing that they are protected from any risk.

Investing in Trades and Apprenticeships

When local hiring and apprentice training is a priority, communities are stronger.

Leaving a Positive Community Legacy

Ensuring our work delivers a legacy that makes a long-term difference to each community where we have a presence.

If we build it right, we can ensure that Indigenous people, women and youth get the opportunities they deserve to develop valuable skills and create an impactful legacy in their
communities.
