With municipal, provincial, and federal elections behind us, the focus now shifts from campaign promises to action. This panel will bring together perspectives from all three levels of government and the construction industry to explore what is already underway, what priorities are emerging, and where greater collaboration is needed. From housing and infrastructure to permitting, procurement, workforce development, and project delivery, the conversation will focus on the decisions shaping what gets built across the province. This will be a candid, solutions-focused discussion about bridging the gap between government and industry, creating greater certainty, and working together to build the communities our growing region needs.

This roundtable will bring together leaders from large and mid-sized general contractor companies for a candid conversation about delayed projects and growing competition. Panelists will share lessons from previous downturns, the difficult decisions that helped their businesses endure, and how they are preparing their companies for whatever comes next. This is an honest conversation about leadership under pressure, riding out the tough times, and emerging stronger on the other side.
