Right of publication in whole or in part of original construction and

Evolve or fall behind. This mantra is commonly used by many leading business leaders
and firms and that is no different for us here, when it comes to The Leaders magazine.
For the past seven issues of The Leaders, we have focused on
Canada’s top general contractors. These firms were ones which
we considered to be trailblazers, innovators and leaders in their
daily business practices. Typically, on the cover, we would feature
a “national” general contractor. The companies we have featured
are a who’s who of some of Canada’s largest and most innovative
firms.
As the years passed, we have seen a variety of influences
impacting the Canadian construction landscape. Issues such as
foreign competition in the domestic construction market, how
to prepare for predicted labour shortages, the diversification of
project delivery models and the increased use of new technologies, like Building Information Modeling (BIM), have resulted in
Canadian construction stakeholders having to evolve to survive.
To recognize this changing landscape, we decided to begin the
transition of our signature publication to evolve and reflect the
greater needs and stories of Canada’s construction industry. That
is why, this year, we do not have a top national contractor on the
cover. Instead, we have a National Project of the Year. This project
is the new, iconic, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, which
recently opened in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We wanted to tell the
definitive story of this project, the first national museum built in
nearly 50 years and the first outside of Canada’s National Capital
Region in Ottawa, Ontario. By taking a deeper look at the project
we can better showcase all the things which make Canadian construction a global leader when it comes to project expertise, collaboration and execution.
Mark Casaletto
V.P. and General Manager, CMD
You will still find eastern and western contractors featured
in this year’s The Leaders. In the east, we have M. Sullivan
& Son, who recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and is
among Canada’s oldest family-owned construction companies.
In the west, we have Kinetic Construction Ltd., a company
which has completed hundreds of construction projects
while striving to provide a high level of service and a
competitive price.
As in past issues, we have our Leaders Revisited sections
in which we check back with past firms we have featured. For
this year’s Leaders Revisited we spoke to McKay-Cocker, our
eastern contractor selection in 2007 and Stuart Olson, our
western contractor selection in 2009.
Once again included in this year’s The Leaders is our
nationwide, eastern and western construction industry forecasts powered by CanaData. These forecasts provide the pivotal
intel industry stakeholders need in order to operate in Canada’s
evolving construction industry landscape.
We hope you enjoy our latest evolution of the The Leaders;
it is the first step on our path to better capture the stories,
trends and people which shape Canada’s construction industry.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, this year’s National
Project of the Year, features intricate design and construction
which resulted in stunning details throughout the building.
by PETER KENTER
F
rom a construction perspective, the
Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR)
in Winnipeg is a book of many stories. It’s the story of
an audacious design by architect Antoine Predock.
It’s the story of steel and glass erected and installed
at impossible angles under construction manager
PCL Constructors Ltd. It’s also the story of geometry
so complex that building plans could only be
understood by looking at images of the museum in
three dimensions simultaneously. >>
Continued from page 6
In hard numbers, the museum offers 24,155 square metres of total floor space and used 5,400 tonnes
of structural steel and 16,000 cubic metres of concrete. But as befits a museum celebrating human rights,
it’s also a very human story, representing the aspirations of the individuals who helped build it, their
passion to achieve excellence and their desire to leave their mark on a project that will propel
their legacies into the future.
Here are some of the stories behind the people who made the CMHR happen:
* Todd Craigen, construction manager, PCL
Todd Craigen was the CMHR’s first construction manager from 2006 to May 2012.
In preliminary construction planning I went into the drawing room and was struck with
disbelief. I wasn’t sure this was really buildable. What turned the corner for me was not so
much the 3-D design presentation, as meeting the people involved. Gail Asper, who headed
up the Asper Foundation, CMHR’s chief financial officer Susanne Robertson and Joe
Geurts, the owner’s representative, all showed the same level of drive and determination
to get this built.
When I arrived there was nothing on-site but dirt and gravel. We drove 146 caissons
as large as six feet in diameter and 420 precast poles as far as 130 feet in the ground to
find load bearing rock.
The inverted concrete cone was one of the biggest construction challenges at a
134-metre radius and 22-degree slope with PCL self-constructing the concrete.
However, by using Revit, we were able to seamlessly work with all of the project
partners wherever they were, adjusting the model in real time, so that Walters
Steel in Hamilton and Antoine Predock in Albuquerque could determine what
would work and what wouldn’t. The building would have been impossible to
complete in a low-tech, two-dimensional world.
I’m from a family lineage of stonemasons, so I was eager to show my
father, John Craigen, also a stonemason, the stonework going into this
project. It includes limestone veneer out of Tyndall, Man. and alabaster
stone from Zaragoza, Spain. Basalt from Inner Mongolia was used in the
museum’s garden of reflection. I would go so far as to say the stonework is some of the finest craftsmanship I’ve seen in more than
22 years in the business. Even my father was impressed.
When I was offered the position of district manager in Saskatoon, I was
torn between a project for which I moved my family from Ottawa to Winnipeg and into which I invested more than five years of my life. The only
thing that made it easier was passing it into the capable hands of Rob
Duerksen.
* Robert Duerksen, construction manager, PCL
Rob Duerksen was the CMHR’s construction manager from March
2012 to present.
My parents were medical missionaries with expertise in leprosy and
orthopedic surgery. I’ve lived in many countries including Brazil, Paraguay and Ethiopia and I have a global perspective on issues such as human
rights. So, working on a museum devoted to human rights has a special
meaning to me.
Coming in during the middle of this project was overwhelming. I first came
on-site in winter with construction hoarding, tarps and scaffolds everywhere.
In most building projects, it’s easy to visualize where you are. But, with the
complex geometry of this structure, I pushed aside three or four tarps and realized that I no longer knew where I was — I could have gotten lost inside my own
building. Thanks to 3-D modelling it was soon easier to get my bearings.
One of the challenges of the project was managing the sheer number of people
on-site. At peak, there were over 300 people on-site at one time, representing 20 subtrades, in addition to visitors taking tours. I do not believe most of the sub-trades
envisioned the complexity of this job — they couldn’t have. In most cases, such as
the Hall of Hope, we had to work from the top of the building down, with each trade
completing 100 per cent of their work, before work access could be removed. There
was no opportunity to go back without incurring huge costs and delays.

* Max Wehrle, Wescan electrical project manager,
Wescan Electrical Mechanical Services
Max Wehrle has been on the project for more than five years and
continues to fine tune the electrical system.
We knew from the start it would be a huge challenge with so
few straight walls or 90-degree angles. It was great to work with
the Revit 3-D program after a little warming up to it. Coordination with other trades was extremely important on this project.
We held regular mechanical-electrical conflict reviews to iron out
any concerns.
Initially, at the start of the project, we were tasked with design
assist, working together with PCL, the electrical consultant and
designers on multiple systems such as power systems, lighting,
data, audio/visual, security and the fire alarm systems. A lot of
the initial wiring was installed underground. I’d like to add up the
total length of wire we’ve installed in the museum but I still don’t
have the time to check and do the math. I believe we installed
close to 5,000 lighting fixtures.
The PCL Builders Terrace, where the names of the 2,500 construction workers who contributed are inscribed, is outstanding.
The museum is a legacy for Winnipeg and I’m proud to be a part
of it.

This Winnipeg drywall contractor has a longstanding relationship with PCL and spent three-and-a-half years on the CMHR site.
I’ve been an estimator for a long time, but pricing this work
was at best like throwing darts at a wall. In general, access and
scaffolding were the two biggest challenges on the project. So
much of the work was high up and the walls were always sloping
toward you or away from you. So, it was a major logistical challenge to get workers and materials to the installation site. We
used every approach except vines. At one point, we had 60 people
working at a dozen different locations inside the building.
I’ve lived in Winnipeg all my life and I’ve been involved in some
exciting projects, but I know we’ve built a piece of the future here.
Named the inaugural director and chief executive officer of the
CMHR in 2009.
Walking through the site as the core structure was forming
was an amazing experience. The thing that always stood out for
me was that, whether the temperature was 30 C or -30 C, the construction workers were bringing a consistent passion and intensity
to the project through 10-hour shifts. I have so much admiration
for their unprecedented skill, ability and professionalism.
When we moved into our offices in January, the atmosphere
was reminiscent of kids arriving at summer camp checking out
their bunks. People were stopping each other and asking which
floor they were on and what sort of view they had. Everybody was
incredibly inspired by the building.

Getting an occupancy permit was a challenge because the
building defies easy description and code analysis. It doesn’t feature one huge floor with a few openings — it’s one huge opening
with a few floors. We worked closely with the architect and a code
consultant to create a very safe, unconventional building that
could meet the intent of the building codes.
Nobody is ambiguous about the museum. My sister and
brother-in-law originally did not think much of the museum,
until I took them for a tour and explained the architectural concepts and how the design supports a journey through the struggle
for human rights. When we had finished, they were on board and
completely understood what this project was about.

shale-rock natural gas and oil is adding
immensely to reserves.
In North Dakota, firms are extracting
oil from the Bakken Basin as fast as they
can. As a result, the state has the nation’s
lowest overall unemployment rate (2.7%)
and its lowest construction unemployment
rate (5.6%).
The surfeit of oil and gas has provided
one huge benefit. It has reduced the
volume of foreign imports.
The resulting improvement in the goods
trade balance — through offsetting some of
the shortfall with China in consumer items,
for example — lifts the bottomline gross
domestic product (GDP) figure.
Also, the cost of energy is being kept
under wraps. Due to the increase in U.S.
oil inventories, the global price has not
reacted with its usual volatility to political
instability and military conflict in the likes
of Ukraine, Syria, Iraq and Gaza.
Stability in energy supplies and pricing
is also enabling U.S. manufacturing to
stage a comeback.

s has always been the case, Canada’s hopes for improving economic
prospects are very much tied to the
performance of the American juggernaut.
From mid-2008 through the end of
2013, the unemployment rate in Canada
was lower than in the U.S.
A significant milestone was reached at
the start of this current year, 2014, when
the jobless figure south of the border
dropped back below our own. The relationship is now 6.1% in the U.S. and 7.0%
in Canada.
Also earlier this year, the most
important benchmark for U.S. jobs was
exceeded. Total employment first reached,
then surpassed, its pre-recession peak.
Going forward, each new month of positive job creation will set an all-time high
for total U.S. jobs.
America’s more optimistic economic
outlook is grounded in two industrial sectors, energy and manufacturing.
U.S. energy development is booming.

There are certain industrial processes
(e.g., the making of petrochemicals) where
oil and gas are major inputs. In the operations of many other industrial enterprises
(e.g., cement plants), fossil fuels are important components of heating and cooling
charges and transportation costs.
U.S. “real” (i.e., inflation-adjusted) GDP
growth in 2014’s second quarter exploded
to +4.2% annualized, after retreating miserably (-2.1%) in a winter-storm-ravaged
first quarter.
America’s growth for the year as a
whole is expected to be +2.5%, accelerating to +3.2% in 2015 and +3.6% in 2016.
2013’s figure was +2.2%.
The Federal Reserve’s stimulatory bondbuying program is scheduled to end this fall.
Earlier, the Fed more or less promised it
would keep its policy-setting federal funds
rate within its current exceptionally low
range of 0.00% to 0.25% at least through
the mid-point of next year. The increasing
speed of the U.S. pick-up may pull that
date forward into next spring.

An expectation of a more hawkish U.S.
yield environment has served to raise the
value of the greenback and depress the
currencies of most other countries.
Canada may have been a beneficiary of
this latest exchange rate trend.
Certainly, the Bank of Canada has no
quarrel with where the “loonie” (i.e., the
affectionate name for Canada’s dollar) sits
at present, in the 90 to 92-cent U.S. range.
Since most internationally-traded commodities are priced in U.S. dollars, the
lower-valued loonie raises the Canadiandollar revenues of our resource sector
owners.
And it provides a spur to the export
sales of domestic manufacturers. The price
of Canadian products being sold into the
U.S. market is effectively reduced.
Canada’s merchandise trade, after
languishing near a zero balance since the
2008-09 recession, has been moving higher
into surplus over the last three months.
Canada’s “real” GDP growth is being
estimated at +2.5% this year, rising to
CMD
+2.8% in 2015 and +3.2% in 2016. In 2013,
the year-versus-previous-year change was
+2.0%.
While the drop in value of the loonie is
providing Canada with an export-pricing
advantage, adverse shifts in our historical
trade relationship with the U.S. must be
recognized and acknowledged.
The softwood lumber agreement, with
its embedded system of quotas, will limit
the degree to which Canadian producers
may be able to participate in the gradual
improvement in U.S. home starts.
Mexico is now the number one source
of motor vehicle and parts imports into the
U.S. automotive market. Canada is competing with Japan for second spot.
Growing U.S. energy self-sufficiency may
threaten some Oil Sands exports, although
a number of the new refineries that have
opened up south of the border specifically
draw on Alberta supplies (e.g., BP’s plant
modernization in Whiting, Indiana).
President Barack Obama’s reluctance to
approve the Keystone XL pipeline expan-
The Leaders 2014 15
sion has been a “gift” to the green faction
within the Democratic Party.
Environmental activists are meeting
with success in stopping, delaying and
otherwise side-tracking numerous big
resource projects across our country.
The Supreme Court of Canada’s recent
Tsilhqot’in native land claims ruling,
potentially extending the boundaries of
territories considered to be under aboriginal jurisdiction, further complicates the
resource projects approvals process.
While these issues are debated, unintended consequences proliferate. Despite
the fact most experts would argue that
pipelines are the cheaper and safer means
to transport oil, the volume shipped by rail
in tanker cars has soared.
The Canadian government has been
pro-actively seeking alternative foreign
customers. Hence, the emphasis placed on
reaching free trade agreements with South
Korea and Europe. The next step will be
participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) discussions.

The legislature in Victoria, with its plans
for a world-scale LNG exporting site in the
northwest of the province, can be added to
the list of public entities wishing to promote
sales to clients outside North America.
Housing starts nationwide this year
and for the next couple of years will likely
be quieter than in 2012 (215,000 units).
Condo demand in Toronto, for example,
can’t be expected to remain frenzied,
unless the foreign-buyer slice of the pie
surprises with renewed strength.
There’s another aspect of residential real
estate that will be equally important. Home
prices must not cave. To a fair degree, consumer confidence and personal consumption expenditures depend on a feeling of
prosperity that is provided by rock-solid or
increasing asset valuations.
For homeowners, that includes the
value of one’s own property. Plus, it takes
into account pension and mutual fund
holdings, which often include equities.
Thankfully, the Toronto Stock Exchange
index (TSX) has finally shaken off its
torpor and sprung to life, although it will
have a lot of catching up to do to pull even
with record-setting share prices in the

finances. The fastest population growths
are occurring in the resource-rich provinces of western Canada. This implies a
need for infrastructure capital spending to
provide essential public services.

Every province is experiencing an aging
population, as the front-edge of the baby
boom generation moves beyond its mid60s and into its early 70s age-cohort. Construction of more health care facilities and
graduated-levels of accommodation for
seniors will receive an upgrade in priority.
In engineering projects, a pickup in
world trade is slowly gaining momentum.
Stronger commodities demand and an
uptick in commodities pricing must eventually follow.
As for public sector civil projects,
Ottawa and most of the provinces are in
decent financial health, with budgets at
or near balance and debt loads that aren’t
overly onerous. Quebec and Ontario are
the exceptions. The former’s new Premier,
Phillippe Couillard, is determined to rein
in costs. The latter’s, re-elected premier,
but this time with a majority — Kathleen
Wynne — has, so far, demonstrated no
similar inclination.
There is one final statistic for Canada
that has been briefly touched on in the
foregoing, but warrants further elaboration.
The latest year-over-year population
change for Canada as a whole has been
+1.2%. That’s one of the fastest rates of
increase among all industrialized nations.
The comparable U.S. figure lies between
+0.7% and +0.8%. The resident counts of
Germany and Japan are shrinking.
There is a very simple way in which
population change impacts the economy.
More people with more jobs generate more
income, leading to greater GDP-enhancing
consumer spending.
Let me wrap up on a philosophical
note. Canadians are now living in a world
that’s quite different from the one occupied
by their parents and grandparents. The
level of foreign competition for all kinds
of jobs (e.g. in IT, as well as on production
lines) and in a host of other areas that will
continue to determine our standard of
living has heightened dramatically.
After reasonable consideration, we
must continue to adapt effectively with
all good haste. Otherwise, we will see our
quality of life take an embarrassing and
unpleasant tumble.

hen company president Bill Gyles founded Kinetic Construction Ltd. in Victoria in
1984, he was already thinking of the future. “A lot of people name their construction
companies after themselves,” he says. “But I thought that one day I would build the business
into something that would outlive me, and I didn’t want them to be saddled with my name.” >>

After trying on a number of company trademarks that were
already taken, his wife Darlene, in a prescient moment, suggested
Kinetic. Launched from the middle of a recession as an open
shop, the company hasn’t stopped moving since.
Today, Kinetic operates offices in Victoria, Vancouver and
Courtenay and employs about 125 people. The company offers
project delivery as construction managers, project managers,
design-build contractors and general contractors. It typically
fields 12 to 15 projects at a time, with an average running total
value of $50 million to $80 million.
“It’s not easy to say that we specialize in one market or
another,” says Gyles. “Some years our work is mostly institutional.
Last year, we worked on five shopping centres. This year, we’re
working on our biggest project to date for Defence Construction
Canada.”
The $175-million construction management project is being
undertaken with joint venture partner EllisDon and involves the
consolidation of operations for the Fleet Maintenance Facility
Cape Breton at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt, known as the
“corner garage” to sailors of the Pacific Naval Fleet. The project
will transform 38 maintenance shops into one of the largest
enclosed buildings on North America’s west coast.
Over the long run, Kinetic’s project tally shakes out to an evenhanded blend of 30 per cent institutional, 30 per cent commercial,
15 per cent industrial, 15 per cent multi-unit residential and 10
per cent civil.
“The common element in every project we go after is our
confidence that we have a competitive advantage due to experience we’ve developed on a similar type of project or with the same
owners,” says Gyles. “We make sure that we have the skills and
proficiency to excel in any project we take on.”
While growth has increased the scope and capability of the
company, Gyles says he has been vigilant against the downside of
growth, which can include an erosion of company values.
“When we were a smaller company, I knew every employee
and worked with them on a daily basis,” he says. “With 125
employees and five people on the board of directors and each of
our branches running somewhat independently, we’re now a little
more like a larger corporation. However, frequent director and
management meetings and an open door policy ensure that we all
remain on the same page.”
The company culture values clear and honest communication,
transparency and co-operation.
“There’s no doublespeak,” he says. “The company culture is
not so much about what we do, but about who we are and that
includes not only how we treat our clients, but about how we
interact with each other — consultants, tradespeople and fellow
workers. If a new project manager comes down a little hard on a
trade contractor, we will ensure that we make it right. We value all
of those relationships.”
The company’s top projects in recent memory aren’t Kinetic’s
largest or those featuring its most flamboyant designs.
“They’re projects where we successfully went on to exceed the
expectations of our clients,” Gyles says.
First is the Port Moody Inlet Centre Fire Hall. The replacement of the original fire hall, built in 1974, was prioritized by city
council as its most important city-funded capital project.
“We pre-qualified on this project and tendered the job which
was valued at about $7 million,” says Gyles. “It was a fairly complex structure for a fire hall and achieved LEED Gold. The old fire
hall was located right next door and the firefighters continued to
check out their new digs as the project moved forward. It’s a beautiful building that functions very well, but at the end of the day
what put us over the top was that both the city and the firefighters
who moved in this year were very happy.”
Next is Timberline Village Shopping Centre, a $6-million,
30,000-square-foot greenfield shopping development in Campbell River. It was a first project for Kinetic with developer Jim
Dobinson and business partner Dr. Christine Hildebrand, whose
dental clinic is an anchor tenant.

NEW LOOK, NEW FEEL AT NANAIMO
REGIONAL GENERAL HOSPITAL
BEING POWER SMART MAKES BUSINESS SENSE
Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s new 6,200 square metre Emergency Room and Psychiatric Intensive Care
Unit is not your usual hospital wing: gone are the skimpy curtains between the beds, the stale air, the gloomy
institutional paint on the walls.
Opened in fall 2012, the addition is bright, airy and fresh. It’s also
incredibly energy efficient. By working with BC Hydro’s New Construction
Program to energy-model the new addition, the designer was able to
select and install a series of energy-saving measures that will save an
estimated 1.1 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year. These savings
are enough to power around 100 homes for a year.
“For a small investment in the beginning, you get a long-term reduction
on your operational costs year after year,” says Deanna Fourt, Director
of Energy Efficiency and Conservation for Vancouver Island Health
Authority. “We estimate payback at just seven years. And I believe the
way the unit was designed has had a great effect on patients as well.
It’s a calming and beautiful space.”

“Jim was an experienced developer who had never hired a construction manager and wasn’t sure what Kinetic could bring to the
table,” says Gyles.
At the 50 per cent drawing stage, Kinetic completed an initial
cost estimate that showed the project would go 10 per cent over
budget.
“Through an extensive value engineering process, we recommended a variety of design changes that ultimately beat back construction costs by about 10 per cent,” says Gyles. “If we’d been in
on the ground floor, we’d have reduced costs further, but the client
was very pleased with the results we delivered.”
He also cites Victoria’s Hillside Centre, a $60-million joint venture with EllisDon. The retail project involved both the renovation of the existing space and the addition of 85,000 square feet to
the shopping complex.
“Our first challenge was to quickly integrate our on-site project
management team with that of EllisDon and establish a line of
communication with consultants both locally and in Toronto,”

the Year Award from Paul Douglas,
PCL president and CEO.
says Gyles. “We were also required to complete the project on a
tight time frame.”
The construction partners worked on renovations at night
while existing retail space remained open to customers during the
day. In retail, shopping time is money and construction delays are
calculated in customer dollars lost.
“The client was expecting the worst but was pleasantly
surprised when we finished the project two months ahead of
schedule,” says Gyles. “And on budget.”
Like many construction companies, Kinetic is taking a hard
look at transferring the skills and knowledge of senior employees
to younger workers. Retaining workers is essential to that process.
The company operates a career enhancement program for all
employees, offering time off and financial support to those who
want to take advantage of job-related training and educational
opportunities.

potential and provides them with additional challenges
and opportunities for training, self-improvement and
advancement.
“We’ve never had an employee leave us because they found
it too boring here,” he says.
However, until senior employees actually retire from the
top rungs of the ladder, those positions remain filled. Company
growth will help to create new opportunities for tomorrow’s
talent.
Gyles foresees a B.C. construction market presenting no
booms and crashes, but a long period of sustained, moderate
growth. Weaker and smaller players will die off while others
will merge into larger entities. Hungry international firms will
also continue to knock at the doors of the province, looking to
leverage their own special skill sets.
“We need to take a larger share of the market, in a market that
is not growing rapidly,” says Gyles. “We need to adapt to market
changes in general and new project delivery methods in particular, including public-private partnerships. We’re also looking
to broaden our market geographically to other parts of B.C. and
entering more partnerships with First Nations and other likeminded companies that share our values.”
Gyles divested himself of majority ownership in the company
about four years ago.
“I’m still the largest shareholder, but no longer own a majority
of shares,” he says. “We’re in a good position to start talking
among the board of directors about succession strategies.”
In the meantime, Gyles says he considers himself lucky to be
doing what he’s doing.
“When you do something for far more than 40 hours a week,
you’ve got to love it,” he says. “What I love most about coming
to work each day is the atmosphere created by the interaction
of talented, committed people. We’ve got a dream team
assembled here.”

Kinetic’s president named CCA Person of the Year
It couldn’t have happened to a better candidate — and the winner
couldn’t have been more surprised — when the Canadian
Construction Association (CCA) named Bill Gyles, president of Kinetic
Construction Ltd., its 2013 Person of the Year.
Gyles received the award at the CCA Annual Conference in Panama
in March, where the association noted:
“William (Bill) Gyles’ approach to construction can be summarized with
the following: treat subcontractors with respect and as valued
partners, consultants as team members working towards a common
goal, and clients as people, their time and money respected. He believes
in leading by example, and hiring smart people who share his values and
work ethics.”
The award committee also cited Gyles’ 30 years of commitment to
construction associations, including the CCA, the British Columbia
Construction Association and the Vancouver Island Construction
Association (VICA):
“Through (his) tireless dedication to construction associations on both a
local and national level, he has helped bring positive changes to
contract language and the risks passed through to contractors.”
Gyles says he had little time to accustom himself to the honour, first
learning of the award in February.
“I was shocked,” says Gyles. “I’ve put a lot of time into various
construction associations and served on the CCA board but I was
overwhelmed that they considered the sum total of these
accomplishments to be something recognized at the national level.
This award is something I will always cherish.”
Not so surprised was Angus Macpherson, 2014 Chair of the VICA board of
directors. “Bill’s values are a way of doing business that many of us in the
industry try to emulate,” he says.
Katy Fairley, Kinetic’s business development manager, also received
honours in 2014 as the Outstanding Woman in Construction from the
Vancouver Regional Construction Association.

David LeMay, Stuart Olson Inc.
CEO, says his company is one
which strives for excellence
in a variety of construction
services.
tuart Olson Inc., formerly The Churchill Corporation, is
fresh from a massive rebranding to strategically shift into a
fully integrated construction services company.
The company provides building construction, commercial and
industrial electrical contracting, earthmoving and industrial insulation services to an array of public and private sector clients.
CEO David LeMay said Stuart Olson wants its clients to think of it
as one entity offering many services.
“The rationale is to narrowly focus what we are good at, which is
construction,” he said.
“(Clients) thought of us in our parts instead of thinking of us
as a $1.3 billion construction and services company with 4,000
employees. What we are focusing on is being able to bring more
to every client.”
The company operates offices throughout British Columbia,
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Stuart Olson was
last featured in the 2009 edition of The Leaders as its western
contractor selection.
LeMay said the rebranding has been well received from
stakeholders. Shareholders see it as an understandable strategy
and customers are getting to see the broad base of services the
company offers.
However, LeMay said the most important stakeholders are
the employees, which he calls the company’s ambassadors.
Stuart Olson employs about 4,000 people. LeMay said that
when all of them are educated and on board with one vision, it’s
a powerful force.
He added that the restructuring also can affect recruitment
and retention. LeMay explained that the more dynamic and
winning a team can be, the better chance it has of getting and
keeping employees.
Like many companies, Stuart Olson has had to adapt to a
changing business landscape.
The projects are getting larger and more sophisticated all the
time. Not only that, but the economic climate is uncertain and
far more global.
“I don’t think we have ever been in a time where the global
temperature for investment really makes or breaks our economy,”
he said.
maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) work on oilsands
projects.
LeMay said the company does this work year-round, much of
it is small capital projects, which are more focused around process optimization.
“The economic return on those projects is significantly
quicker and significantly greater versus some major megaprojects,” he said, adding that this part of the business
has also been key to lasting through changing economic conditions.
But, Stuart Olson is also engaged in several massive
building projects, such as the $245-million New Central
Library in downtown Calgary, which recently finished its
design phase.
The complex project will encapsulate an existing LRT (light
rail transit) track.
Work is also being done on the Winnipeg Convention Centre,
a $180-million project. Stuart Olson will add three storeys to
double the size of the current facility.
The company also completed the largest and most technically advanced remand facility in the country, the Edmonton
Remand Centre valued at $512 million.
Despite some challenges, LeMay said there are still many
opportunities on the horizon.
Stuart Olson is seeing healthy spending in the public sector
in terms of infrastructure such as schools, recreation centres and
hospitals. On the industrial side, the company is witnessing a

healthy market coming for its MRO work as large oilsands facilities come online.
In B.C. there are more than a dozen LNG (liquefied natural
gas) project proposals pending. LeMay said it is unlikely all
will move forward, hopefully several will, but that remains to
be seen.
“I’d really like to think we are going to create the kind of climate necessary to attract that business because frankly, in my
view, we’ve got a very concise window of opportunity,” he said.
“If we are not careful, we could lose that spending.”
S
“The effects of the global economy are far more reaching to
our business than they have ever been.”
He said that in economic uncertainty, customers look for
companies that have good lineage, good track records and history and a balance sheet that they can afford to ensure projects
get completed.
LeMay said, conservatively, that 70 per cent of Stuart Olson’s
business is from existing customers.
“That’s about building sustainable business relationships
that aren’t about one building or contract, but are for the long
term and I think that’s decidedly what gives companies like us an
advantage,” he said.
The company’s rebranding has also highlighted the fact that
it has moved beyond shovel-ready products and embraced

efforts and generous donations that have carried a worthy dream to fulfilment.
In 2013, Manitoba’s “real” (i.e. inflationadjusted) gross domestic product (GDP)
growth rate exceeded the national average
(+2.2%) by a slight margin. In comparison
with the other western provinces, it was beat
by Alberta (+3.9%) and lapped by Saskatchewan (+4.8%). B.C. (+2.0%) trailed, but even
that province’s expansion was the equal of
the country as a whole (+2.0%).
As for upcoming large projects in Manitoba, two of them are in the hydroelectric
field and it has become almost embarrassing
to mention one of them, it’s been talked
about so long.
The Keeyask Generating Station ($4.6 billion) on the Lower Nelson River seems likely
to receive a “green light” first. Then there’s
the Conawapa Station ($3.4 billion), also on
the Nelson and 28 kilometres downstream
from the existing Limestone hydro site.
Love the name Conawapa. Don’t like the
way its start date has remained so nebulous
over such a long period of time.

ividing Canada in two as East versus
West is simply an easy representation
based on a map.
There is a version that is truer in crucial
ways, based on seeing the country as a teetertotter.
Ontario, with approximately 40% of
the total population, is the fulcrum in the
middle.
In such a picture, the East — comprised
of Quebec and the Atlantic Region — has a
population proportion (30%) that is almost
exactly balanced by a “standard” West made
up of the three Prairie provinces and B.C. (a
combined 30%).
The cross-beam is currently level. In the
years ahead, the western “seat” will take on
relatively more weight while the eastern seat,
due to slower provincial population growth
rates, will lift higher.
Manitoba (+1.1%) may be experiencing
the lowest population growth rate among the
four western provinces, but it is still speeding
ahead faster than anywhere between itself
and the Atlantic Ocean.
The citizens of the province should
rightly take pride in Winnipeg’s newest landmark. After 14 years of a sometimes intense
struggle for existence, the Canadian Museum
for Human Rights has opened its doors.

to its next-door neighbour. Contrary to what
some may think, it’s not a bad thing that the
oilsands make Alberta (68%) unassailable.
Newfoundland and Labrador’s share (8%)
of the nations’ total energy exports is third.
Construction work on K & S Potash Canada
Partnership’s Legacy mine ($3.3 billion) has
been proceeding for about a year. BHP Billiton’s
Jansen potash property, whenever world trade
and potash prices pick up enough to justify a
go-ahead, will be the Godzilla (i.e., with respect
to immense size, not mean disposition) of all
such projects, with a price tag approaching
many billions of dollars.
The high-grade Cigar Lake uranium mine
will soon be making a major contribution
to provincial revenues. Initial production
at the underground ore body was abruptly
terminated by flooding that originated in
the water-laden rock overhead. The owner
has taken extensive precautions to ensure a
similar calamity won’t happen again.
Alberta’s oil patch has been Canada’s
equivalent of California’s 1849 Gold Rush.
All efforts by environmentalists, celebrities,
First Nations and even, to a confounding
degree, the United States president, have
failed to stop the momentum.
Investments by major international oil
firms this year alone have continued to be
enormous. CanaData’s monthly Top 10 starts
lists have featured four projects of more than
$1 billion each. The Fort Hills upgrader for
Suncor Energy and several other partners, at
$13.5 billion, has been the biggest.

The U.S. may be importing less foreign
oil, but the reductions have been at the
expense of firms located in countries other
than its northern friend. Some major U.S.
refinery expansions have been specifically
designed to employ Alberta bitumen as a
feedstock.
The volume of oil shipped to the U.S. by
train this year has increased by 20% to 25%.
Companies that have built new shipping
terminals are reaping impressive financial
rewards.
The increase in demand for drilling
pipe and railcars has revived the fortunes of
one of America’s former industrial giants,
U.S. Steel. At the same time, the company’s
money-losing operation at Hamilton’s former
Stelco facility has been placed in bankruptcy
protection. There is a positive spin to emphasize. Restructuring has a better chance of
succeeding now than at any time in recent
memory.
Jim Prentice has taken over as Alberta premier and Conservative Party leader.
The Conservatives have been in power in
the province for more than 40 years. Prentice

some caucus members who became too fond
of their privileges while Alison Redford was

aboriginals and environmentalists as partners in their development plans.

Christy Clark’s provincial government has
spotted an unparalleled opportunity for firms
based in B.C. to do business on the other side
of the Pacific Rim. There are eager potential
customers in Japan, China, Vietnam, South
Korea and elsewhere for liquefied natural gas
(LNG) that could be supplied from terminals
in B.C.’s northwest corner.
Following through with such an enviable goal will necessitate a more rapid pace
of development in northeastern shale-gas
fields (at Horn River and from the Montney
Basin) and construction of new pipeline
capacity across the top of the province. It will
also provide an incentive to finally build the
long-contemplated Site C power plant on the
Peace River. A great deal of electric power is
needed to cool natural gas from a vapour to
a liquid.
Victoria is currently working with energysector firms to establish a royalty regime
that will benefit the citizens of the province
— through funding an active hospital construction program, for example — while not
choking off corporate enthusiasm.
The fates of the Northern Gateway

ever, by proposed rapid transit projects in
Vancouver and Victoria.
A multi-decade and multi-billion-dollar
shipbuilding initiative to meet Canada’s naval
patrol (e.g., frigates) and rescue-vessel obligations will also provide a formidable base of
dollar spending on the West Coast, as it will
on the East as well.
An acrimonious teachers’ strike this fall,
besides denying students an education for a
while, was a source of considerable inconvenience for many parents. The package
hammered out, however, will allow the
government to keep sailing down a fiscally
responsible strait. The budget this year is
expected to be in balance.
It’s not immediately clear how new
homeowners can hope to achieve financial
harmony. The average price of resale housing
in Vancouver, according to the Canadian
Real Estate Association (CREA), is enough to
leave one breathless.
At just under $800,000, it is 40% higher
than in the next priciest city in the country,
Toronto ($569,000).
I’d be remiss if I didn’t close with one
other observation concerning the nationwide outlook for the year ahead and possibly
beyond.
Fasten your seat belts everyone. A federal
election is scheduled for 2015. For a certainty, we’re flying into political turbulence.

The M in M. Sullivan was Maurice, who founded the company
on the eve of the First World War. The Son, his first, was Harry.
Harry’s third son, Tom, was the last of the Sullivan clan to helm
the company, stepping back from the top spot in 2007, as the venture transitioned from a family-run business to a more contemporary management structure. Robert MacLaren was the company’s
next president, succeeded by Rob Ball in 2013.
Today, the company is a full-service industrial, commercial and
institutional construction firm with offices in Arnprior, Kingston,
Ottawa and North Bay.
Tim Pruner joined the company around the 2007 transition
period, as a senior project manager. He became part of the management team in 2012 as vice-president, business development.
“This was the first time the company created a position
devoted entirely to business development,” says Pruner. “Tommy
Sullivan had been handling all of the business development prior
to that, in addition to all of the hats he wore. His presence is still
felt here. The people who knew him fondly refer to him as ‘the
benevolent dictator.’ Tommy’s mantra is still always in the back
of our minds: never leave a job with a problem, even if it costs us
money.”
That principle has earned the company a slate of loyal repeat
clients, some going back decades. Pruner recollects George Hood,
former vice principal, advancement at Queen’s University, telling
him that Sullivan had worked on at least two-thirds of the buildings at Queen’s since WWII. Sullivan also continues to work for
Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) at the 70-year-old Chalk
River nuclear facility, decades after its first contract. “When you’ve
been in the business 100 years, you have a good resume,” says
Pruner.
When Ball took on the role of president, the company developed a new strategic business plan.
“We decided which markets we wanted to play and to identify what type of work we were really good at — where we bring
value added to the table,” says Pruner. “There’s nothing wrong
with building a big box retail outlet, but we like the more difficult
challenges, such as hospital construction and renovation, prisons,
border crossings, power plants, solar panel farms and military
installations. We’re really institutional players and we want to be
on the pre-qualification list for all projects of this sort.”
The strategic plan is reviewed annually, with an eye to key clients, new markets and new technology, such as Building Information Modeling.
About half the company’s work involves construction management contracts. “It’s less adversarial and more of a team
approach,” says Pruner. “Many government clients, including
Public Works and Government Services Canada, are seeing the
value in that project delivery model.”
The company is now fully engaged in joining with partners in
pursuing public-private partnership and design-build-financemaintain contracts. It has also developed the specialized expertise
required to pursue Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design
(LEED) projects, with three Gold certified projects in its current
portfolio.
“Whether or not a building is an actual LEED project, its influence has raised the design bar so that such features as energy
modeling are now standard across the industry,” says Pruner.
The company has developed a quality management system
that meets the strict requirements of the ISO 9001:2008 standard,
with which Sullivan has complied since 2009. Sullivan is also recognized as a Platinum member of Canada’s Best Managed Companies. Maintaining an enviable safety record is paramount to the
company.
M. Sullivan has always had its head office in Arnprior and
opened its Kingston office in 1949. However, a series of northern
projects, including work on Ontario Power Generation (OPG)
hydroelectric plant contracts, led Sullivan to more recently establish a North Bay office, which could also serve potential clients
in the Ring of Fire. Federal government work and other Capital
Region projects led to the establishment of an Ottawa branch.
“When we branch out, we don’t jump off without significant
due diligence,” says Pruner. “We want to set roots in the community, with employees who live and work there. We’re building
relationships with school boards and sub-trades and suppliers.
We were fortunate with the North Bay office to take on senior
talent from an established construction company that was
closing its doors. These people already had close ties to their
community.”
The search for new talent starts locally, which also includes
students enrolled in related post-secondary programs.

“Once they’re here we’ve developed a mentor program and
offer a very competitive compensation package,” says Pruner.
“Working on projects like a nuclear storage facility keeps
things interesting. Developing and retaining that talent pool
makes a huge difference to us, especially in bidding construction
management projects.”
Talent retention is a critical issue, even considering that many
employees have been part of the company long enough to have
worked with Tommy and his predecessors, serving with the firm
for 30 years or more. George Fournier, vice president, project

(Gib) Tourangeau joined M. Sullivan in 1943 and still comes to
work every day.
Good relations with sub-trades are also important.
Many are long-term members of the communities in which
Sullivan serves.
“We treat them well and pay our bills promptly,” says Pruner.
“A deal is as good as our handshake. Once we develop these
relationships with quality suppliers, we won’t shop their prices
around. We just don’t play that game.”

be mindful of infection control measures and detailed planning
for numerous phases of the work, among other considerations,”
says Pruner. “We sent our best people to both phases of this
project, knowing that they would be compassionate with both
staff and patients and minimize any service interruptions, while
respecting hospital operations.”
Sullivan returned to Queen’s University to complete a new main
building at its School of Medicine in 2011. The 124,000-squarefoot building is a centralized location for students, classrooms and
state-of-the-art labs, which had previously been scattered across
the campus. A three-storey atrium, dubbed “the glass lantern,” is
the building’s most striking architectural feature.
“It was a complex, fast-track project with our contract valued
at $57 million,” says Pruner. “It was originally slated to be a stipulated sum, but a cost consultant indicated that with the design as
presented, the building would wind up $8 million over budget.
We looked at alternate construction methods and used our skills
as construction managers, in conjunction with the design team,
to apply a value engineering process to the design and bring the
building in on time and on budget.”
Pruner says M. Sullivan and Son is now in a good strategic
position to handle contracts from Oshawa to the Quebec border,
up to North Bay and throughout the near north. Sullivan will continue to service specific clients beyond these confines, as well.
“It’s satisfying to be part of a team helping to build a great company,” says Pruner. “But the greatest satisfaction I feel is when we
attend the grand opening of a project that’s gone really well and
the client is ecstatic about it. That’s the sort of resume I like to
help build.”
S
Among Pruner’s favourite projects in recent memory is North
Bay Memorial Gardens, a hockey arena that underwent a $14-million renovation to prepare for the arrival of the Ontario Hockey
League (OHL) North Bay Battalion team, which moved there
from Brampton for the 2013-14 season.
“We were already doing so much work for OPG and AECL
in the area, that the arena was not much of a stretch for us,” says
Pruner. “It was a tight schedule because they had to sell a certain
number of season tickets for work to begin. Once that happened,
we could not begin construction until after the Dudley Hewitt
junior hockey tournament in April and had to have the work
complete for the home opener on October 11.”
Under the construction management contract, Sullivan built
a new facade, increased seating capacity and reconfigured the
rink to OHL standards while adding private viewing boxes and
expanded dressing rooms.
“It was a high-profile job that established us well in the community,” says Pruner. “The senior management we had hired
already had good relationships with the community and local
sub-trades. We believe this project helped to pave the way for
other area jobs including a significant construction management
contract for the Rainbow District School Board.”
Pruner also cites the company’s work on Belleville Hospital,
which comprised two phases. The first was a $75-million Alternative Finance and Procurement build-finance project with
Infrastructure Ontario in 2009. The second was a stipulated sum
contract worth $40 million in 2011.
“They were both challenging projects because they involved
construction in and around a working hospital, where we had to

Why don’t you write a book about that?
A construction family whose business history stretches back a century would probably have collected enough stories and
colourful anecdotes to fill a book.
Contractor M. Sullivan & Son has done just that with the publication in February of A Hundred Years On A Handshake: The lively
history of M. Sullivan & Son Limited 1914–2014 by Ottawa writer Brian Hanington.
The book stretches to more than 300 pages of company history and images. It was based on a series of interviews with members of the family and past and present employees. The book focused on the family patriarch, Tommy Sullivan, who served as
the company’s president until 2007 and continued working on the company’s behalf until he passed away at the age of 80.
In the book’s final pages, Hanington says he negotiated the writing contract with Sullivan and then — according to company
tradition — sealed it with a handshake.

s it approaches its 70th anniversary, McKay-Cocker aims
to build on its legacy through the use of new tools and
technologies.
“You have to refresh things. You can’t leave it the way it was. I
think the value is that people see the stability of a 70-year-old company from a branding standpoint, but I think when you peel back
the layers and look inside, it’s quite a bit different than it was even
two years ago,” said McKay-Cocker president Robert Skinner.
Since The Leaders last featured McKay-Cocker in 2007,
the company has undergone a significant shift with its 2010
purchase by Fayolle Canada and the 2012 arrival of Skinner who is
focused on modernization and innovation. McKay-Cocker is now
part of the MC Group, which maintains revenues in excess of
$400 million.
The group also includes Montreal-based general contractor
Magil Construction and Magil Pacific, a Vancouver-based general
contractor and project management firm targeting private and
public initiatives.
McKay-Cocker was formed in London, Ont. on Jan. 26, 1946 by
Col. Hugh McKay and Herb Cocker with four employees. It grew
quickly throughout the 1950s and 60s, expanding from the construction of schools and churches to industrial and commercial
buildings and gradually to a fully diversified construction services
company.
Despite the change, McKay-Cocker maintains its core values of
safety, quality, innovation/continuous improvement, service, relationships and expertise, states the company.
Skinner joined McKay-Cocker in 2012 with the goal of
modernizing the company. He has over 30 years of experience
in the industry, including working at EllisDon, Turner Construction, Barton Malow and most recently, Skanska, where he managed
Michigan operations and growth initiatives. He has worked in the
United States for over two decades, where using Building Information
Modeling (BIM) has been driven into the construction culture by contractors. He says there is a fallacy in Canada that BIM has to be driven
by architects when, in fact, it should be the contractors pushing BIM
to the owners and the architects.
“It’s incumbent on the contractor to drive the BIM process and
coordinate the job electronically. There’s big savings doing that. You
eliminate all the clashes which end up being extras on a job before
you build it. It saves both the contractor and the owner quite a bit
of money,” he said.
As McKay-Cocker does a significant amount of design-build
work, it tries to utilize BIM technology where possible to coordinate
the drawings on projects internally, which Skinner describes as
“unusual”.
“Virtual design in construction is a big thing in the U.S. and we’ve
adopted that mentality here. I think this is going to separate us from
the pack a little bit because it’s a unique way to go in Ontario.”
use Bridgit’s Closeout deficiency management software on its
Dr. Oetker pizza plant project, the first project to closeout using
Bridgit’s technology.
With introducing new technologies and systems, it is important to properly train employees, so Skinner introduced McKayCocker University (MCU), a continual learning/professional
development mandate where each employee has to take two
or three MCU courses per year. Content is peer to peer and
includes lessons learned, new tools/technology and also includes
guest speakers.
“It improves our industry overall, it’s like safety. For us here at
McKay-Cocker it’s already paid huge dividends, because now the
company, especially the young folks, are all pulling on the same
rope and you can just sense it,” he said.
Skinner said employee education has to be a priority.
“In the long-run, when those folks go out on the front line and
they’re running a project, they’re the ones that are selling your
work. They’re the ones impressing the client. They’re also the ones
that can avoid making a mistake on a jobsite because they’ve been
properly trained.”
Mentorship is also an important aspect of knowledge transfer
within the company. Employees are encouraged to take on mentorship opportunities within the community as well as through
involvement in organizations like Junior Achievement and Big
Brothers Big Sisters.

“These are two charities that actually involve people having
to go out and be involved, as opposed to just writing a cheque or
going to a golf tournament.
“Both organizations are important because they affect our
youth, which is really our future workers,” said Skinner.
As McKay-Cocker moves forward with its innovation agenda,
Skinner will continue to invest in his workers.
“The value of a construction company is its people. It’s not the
equipment, it’s not buildings, it’s not any of that, it’s the people.
That’s what the company is worth.”
S
Skinner has led the company in adopting lean approaches and
infusing integrated project delivery into its services. McKay-Cocker
uses collaborative approaches like design-build and construction
management, among its services.
“We do bid lump sum work and we try to bring the same
approach to those jobs too. Even though it’s lump sum bid,
you can still apply the same principles and have a repeat client,”
he said.
Skinner has also introduced technology such as Prolog, an
American management platform, to bring consistency among
jobsites and Primavera P6, an advanced scheduling software.
McKay-Cocker was also the first large construction manager to
McKay-Cocker President Robert Skinner, top left, says his company’s willingness to innovate and provide professional development for its staff will provide

Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick will be hard pressed to escape
from Newfoundland’s shadow. Commercial
activity in Halifax is being goosed by construction of the Nova Centre multi-use commercial
and residential complex downtown.
Money will soon start to flow from the
Deep Panuke gas field out in the Atlantic
Ocean.
Undersea extraction of coal at the Donkin
mine in Cape Breton will also provide a
boost and, similar to other coastal locations in the country, there are plans for LNG
projects. But this makes the decision by
Nova Scotia’s provincial government to ban
“fracking” all the more baffling.
It seems there was some concern that
a surge in energy royalties might jeopardize equalization payments the province is
receiving from Ottawa. For those of us who
believe governments should try to stand on
their own two feet if at all possible, this is the
poorest of excuses.
New Brunswick has an exceptional
opportunity in the energy sphere as well, if
approval can be obtained for construction
of TransCanada’s proposed Energy East oil
pipeline to carry crude all the way from
Alberta to a terminal in Saint John. Europe,
having learned to be wary of its too- close
ties with Russia, is looking for reliable alternative suppliers.

n economic terms, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador is an anomaly. It
has by far the highest unemployment rate
in the land (12.4% in July 2014) and its latest
year-over-year population change was negative, -0.4%.
Those discouraging numbers are the
legacy of a fisheries industry that has been
stagnant or in decline for at least a decade.
More than filling the void have been mining
investment and offshore energy projects.
Evidence of prosperity abounds. The
province’s “real” (i.e., inflation-adjusted) gross
domestic product (GDP) growth in 2013 was
+7.9%, the fastest in the land and well ahead
of second-place Saskatchewan, +4.8%.
Average weekly earnings, at $994.00 (and
+6.0% year-over-year) in the latest month,
trailed only Alberta’s $1,116.00.
The average resale price of a house in St.
John’s ($349,600), according to the Canadian
Real Estate Association (CREA), has risen
to a level above such other major Canadian
cities as Montreal ($332,000), Winnipeg
($280,000) and Quebec City ($268,000).
The economy of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Atlantic Region as a whole,
will continue to be invigorated by large
projects in mining (more Voisey’s Bay work),
offshore energy (Hebron) and electric power
(Muskrat Falls, Gull Island and an undersea

The story in Quebec, for half a century,
has featured the politics of separation ahead
of economic matters. This may be about to
change under the new leadership of the Liberal Party’s Philippe Couillard.
Couillard was a brain surgeon in his
pre-politician days. If he’s successful and his
approval ratings remain acceptable, the Parti
Quebecois (PQ) may eventually be forced to
respond with a “rocket scientist” of their own.
Couillard will be sorely tested. He has
pledged to apply a scalpel to the province’s
bloated debt. There’s sure to be a hue and cry
once he begins tackling public sector wages
and some of the costly social perks taken for
granted by the electorate.
The commission set up to expose corruption in the construction industry in the province continues to interview witnesses. It was
established under a Liberal regime headed by
Jean Charest, then dominated the headlines
while the PQ’s Pauline Marois was premier.
The juiciest bits have probably already
emerged. The power to shock seems to have
waned.
A couple of sites in Canada feature
planned bridge construction that will be
among the nation’s largest upcoming projects. Replacement of the Champlain Bridge
connecting downtown Montreal to its
southern suburbs will be one of them. There
has, however, been a fierce fight over how

the work will be financed. Ottawa owns the
bridge and favours a toll.
The province’s upcoming construction
projects list also has a preponderance of hospital and detention-centre work.
Quebec, with 23% of the nation’s total
population, possesses about an equal share
of total Canadian exports in metals and minerals, forestry products and consumer goods.
But it’s in aerospace products where the
province shines, with a 64% slice.
Quebec and Ontario used to be the industrial powerhouses that propelled the nation’s
overall economic growth. No more. Both
provinces are lagging their siblings in the
west. Whereas Canada as a whole recorded a
GDP increase of 2.0% in 2013, Quebec’s was
only 1.1% and Ontario’s 1.2%.
During the past year, Quebec’s population
has increased by 0.8% and Ontario’s by 0.9%.
Ontario has also come out a little ahead
of Quebec with respect to its unemployment
rate, 7.5% versus 8.1%.
Toronto and Montreal, the two largest
population centres in the country, are way
down a listing that ranks jobless rates among
the nation’s 33 census metropolitan areas
(CMAs) from best (i.e. lowest) to worst (i.e.
highest). Toronto is 29th with 8.3% and
Montreal 31st with 8.6%.
At least Quebec has the advantage of
abundant and relatively low-cost electric
CMD
power. Furthermore, it is almost entirely zeroemission hydroelectric in nature, allowing the
province to boast about how seriously it has
taken its environmental stewardship role.
Ontario has let a former advantage in
hydroelectric and nuclear power slip away.
Now, the high cost of electricity is one of the
factors causing owners to be hesitant about
investing in resource projects (e.g., in the
Ring of Fire region north of Thunder Bay)
and in the manufacturing sector.
As for the latter, the drop in value of Canada’s currency (the “loonie”) does appear to
be having a positive impact on export sales.
The total number of motor vehicles sold in
the U.S. has been recovering nicely, after
stalling out in 2009. In 2013, Ontario held
a commanding 93% share of all Canadian
vehicle and parts export shipments.
With 39% of Canada’s total resident
count, Ontario also holds the largest proportions of the nation’s export sales in two other
categories, metals and minerals (48%) and
consumer goods (also 48%).
As in many other parts of the country —
e.g. extension of Montreal’s Orange Line to
Laval; the Evergreen Route in Vancouver; etc.
— Ontario’s civil construction outlook will
be dominated by rapid transit projects.
Ottawa is about to build a Confederation
Line that will be submerged beneath the
city’s downtown core. Kitchener-Waterloo is

looking forward to stage one work on a highspeed commuter corridor that will run from
Conestoga Mall to Fairview Park Mall.
Toronto has its Eglinton Crosstown Route
already under construction. Specific plans
for a Sheppard Line expansion, a Scarborough LRT replacement line and a downtown
relief line await the voting results from October’s municipal election. The frontrunners in
the campaign for mayor have quite different
transit visions.
Like Quebec, Ontario has a substantial
inventory of upcoming hospital work. In
hotel construction, Niagara Falls stands in the
spotlight and Windsor will feature one of the
nation’s mega bridge projects. The Detroit
River International Crossing (DRIC) will cost
in excess of one billion dollars. It appears the
in-laws (i.e. American authorities) won’t be
picking up their share of the wedding costs.
Lending to pay for the structure plus customs
pavilions on both sides of the border will
come from Canadian sources.
Soon, Toronto will likely be saying goodbye to one spectacle — the Ford family’s
dominance of the local political scene — and
a hearty hello to another, the 2015 Pan Am
and Parapan Am Games.
