The greatness of Canada’s construction industry cannot be measured solely by the final,
tangible results it leaves behind when construction is done. The planning, training
and leadership of the companies involved in a project are the greatest influencers for
success. It is these elements which we recognize in The Leaders every year.
The demand for quality and leadership among Canadian companies continues to grow as do their respective project lists. Major
projects in retail, rapid transit, pipelines and infrastructure are
on the horizon coast to coast. Also, major upgrades to our public
infrastructure have been identified as extreme weather events
continue to impact cities and regions across Canada.
How will Canadian construction respond to this mounting
demand for new energy and infrastructure? How do Canadian
companies prepare to not just compete against each other but also
the growing presence of foreign companies attempting to secure
Canadian projects? Our vast natural resource wealth and one
of the fastest growing populations among developed countries
results in consistent construction project demand.
Growing populations are putting more strain on public infrastructure and transit. Road congestion has proven to be a growing
roadblock to productivity and cities have started to respond to
that challenge. For instance, three major Canadian cities have
announced significant transit projects this year. Ottawa has its
$2.1-billion Confederation Line, Toronto has moved closer to
subway line expansion into Scarborough and Vancouver has
started on the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line.
Pipeline expansion presents a “treasure chest” of resource construction projects, says Alex Carrick, CanaData’s chief economist.
These pipeline projects are also key to Canada’s competitiveness.
Engineering construction on massive initiatives like the multibillion dollar Hebron offshore oilfield project and the Energy
East pipeline are significant industry drivers. In this year’s The
Leaders, readers will get the necessary nationwide forecast
information and trends to help better understand Canada’s current construction industry landscape.
What will Canadian construction companies ultimately do
to meet some of the above mentioned demands?
They will do what they do best. They will train, innovate,
joint venture and explore new project delivery models, all
things which have helped position Canadian construction’s
reputation as reliable and highly skilled.
In this year’s The Leaders, our seventh in its current format,
we profile a leading national contractor, western and eastern
contractors and revisit two leading construction firms we have
featured in the past. These five profiles are great examples of
how Canadian construction is responding to the challenges
it faces in order to not only survive and compete, but to also
evolve and build the infrastructure for Canada’s success.
We salute the leaders in Canadian construction who answer
this call and we hope you enjoy learning a little more about
them in this year’s The Leaders.

“In many ways, we’re more of a national
company in Canada than we are in the
U.S.,” says Greg Kozicz, president and
chief executive officer (CEO) of Alberici.
“In the U.S., we operate from west of the
Rockies to the mid-Atlantic, excluding
New England. In Canada, we bid actively
and operate nationally from coast to coast
through Alberici Constructors Ltd. (ACL)
Canada on the east and through Alberici
Western Constructors Ltd. (AWCL), which
covers the west from Manitoba to British
Columbia.”
With a history stretching back more
than a century, Alberici entered the Canadian market in the early 1980s and formalized its presence in 1998, with the purchase
of Robertson-Yates Corporation Limited.
That company also had historic roots, operating in the Toronto area since 1908.

the other’s back.
ACL Canada is a multi-trade, union
contractor specializing in water and wastewater, industrial and
power, mining infrastructure, structural steel, infrastructure,
buildings and automotive construction. The company provides
self-perform services including civil, structural steel erection,
equipment setting, boilermaker work, piping and electrical work.
AWCL is an industrial multi-discipline contractor primarily
serving the energy and natural resource markets. Its core competencies are found in civil work and foundations, structural steel erection,
equipment setting and installation of platework and piping. The company’s self-performing capabilities include steel erection, structural
concrete, and installation of piping and process equipment.
While the companies are organized along political boundaries for
purposes of taxation and regulatory compliance, in many ways the
border provides little barrier to a free exchange of talent and competencies. The president of ACL Canada, Dave Gough, for example,
happens to be British, but came from Alberici’s St. Louis office.
Kozicz, on the other hand, was born in Canada, growing up
in Wawa and Hamilton, Ont. After earning an undergraduate
degree in history and economics at the University of Ottawa, he
was inspired to pursue a career in international relations and
diplomacy. He earned his PhD in International Relations at the
Fletcher School at Tufts University and went to work for the
Canadian Foreign Service.
“I eventually joined the staff of Science Minister William Winegard under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney,” says Kozicz. “But as
they say, all political appointments are eventually terminal.”
Rather than return to the Foreign Service, Kozicz applied his
skills in diplomacy to some of Canada’s early exercises in publicprivate partnerships with Aecon Group predecessor BFC Construction Corporation under CEO Norman Harrison. His work
on toll road projects included Ontario’s Highway 407 and Nova
Scotia’s Highway 104.
“I saw Norm Harrison as a mentor,” recalls Kozicz. “I can’t get
over how many rules of thumb he taught me that I still use today.

He had a saying that helped remind all of us
how to cut through the seeming complexity of
the industry and focus on the basics: ‘get the
right work, do the work right, get paid for the
work you do.’”
Kozicz was President of BFC’s industrial
division in Cambridge, Ont. when German
construction company Hochtief acquired BFC
Corporation. Kozicz left shortly after the acquisition.
He joined ACL Canada as its president in
2001. In 2004, he moved to St. Louis as president and CEO of Alberici Constructors and
assumed the same roles for Alberici Corporation in 2006.
“When I arrived in 2004, the U.S. parent
was underperforming,” he recalls. “It’s not
unusual for a company with a long track
record of success to occasionally ‘lose its way.’
It became clear that we were short on the highcalibre people that could drive success. From
that day forward, we embarked on an unrelenting drive to use every tool we had at our
disposal to acquire and develop the very best
people for every role in the company.”
Kozicz participates in panel interviews of anyone who joins the
company, from interns up.
“That’s not because I have a special ability to tell a talented candidate from a poor one,” he says. “But because I want to send a signal
that identifying and hiring talent is one of the most important things
senior management does.”
Alberici’s talent acquisition program selects few candidates
in mid-career, instead, placing 95 per cent of candidates directly
from colleges and universities. The company conducts weekly
talent reviews to discuss the availability of qualified people. New
hires are mentored by divisional presidents who perform the role
of executive sponsors. Employees are introduced to multi-market
roles early in their careers.
“Before they hit their tenth anniversary, we want them to have
worked on two distinct market segments, preferably three,” says
Kozicz. “That could be anything from an auto assembly plant,
to a water or wastewater treatment plant, or power plant. What I
absolutely love is watching our people take on challenging situations on unique projects, meeting those challenges and enjoying
success—watching someone who first worked for Alberici as a
second-year college student mastering a $25-million hospital
project or a $250-million power house project after only 10 years
is very rewarding for me.”
Employees emerge from their apprenticeships as specialists in
their fields, but always with a sub-specialty that allows them to
move freely from one type of project to another.
Project managers are deliberately siloed during contracts to ensure
absolute accountability for the success of their projects, although
cross-communication between project managers is frequent.
Specialists will cross borders to assist the team, depending on
their desire to travel and take on challenges. For example, Canadians with an interest in new ventures are encouraged to join
projects throughout the U.S. and in Mexico.

balanced and fair in the same way that we look for
project contracts that are also balanced and fair.”
Alberici has a reputation for owning one of the largest equipment fleets in North America. The company believes that this
equipment is often essential to project success.
“When visitors ask to see our famous equipment fleet, it’s
hopefully busy on projects and there’s nothing to see in the yard,”
says Kozicz. “If it’s sitting there, visitors are impressed, but it
means we’re not doing enough work.”
Alberici applies modern fleet management techniques to its
equipment and constantly upgrades its stocks. “We compare our
fleet management practices to that of an airline,” says Kozicz. “If it
improves productivity, then we upgrade.”
The company practices corporate responsibility through such
measures as an extensive safety training program. Employees at
every level must undergo core technical training, which emphasizes both skills development and safety.
Kozicz sees the Canadian construction market of the near
future as slightly softer, but steady.
“The Canadian economy is driven by resources, and declining
demand will have an obvious effect in the short term,” he says.
“Much of the capital spending on resources projects has already
occurred or is being deferred in anticipation of future demand.”
Alberici’s plans for growth aren’t based on a complex strategy.
“We try to grow our services based on long-range market predictions,” Kozicz says. “We simply enter markets and expand our
platform where demographics and business demand will push
project opportunities our way.”
Because of its strong long-term prospects, the Canadian market
will continue to play an important part in the company’s portfolio.
“Canada represents a mature market where business in
the construction market is marked by fairness and balance in
contracts,” says Kozicz. “There isn’t a huge shift in contractual
terms, even in times of economic turbulence. That’s a subtle
thing, but something that we appreciate about working
in Canada.”

“When we took on the $206-million F.J. Horgan Water Treatment Plant expansion project for the City of Toronto, we took
advantage of the talents of four U.S. water infrastructure specialists
with big project experience,” says Kozicz. “The 12 to 14 Canadians
who worked with them gained the additional experience that now
allows them to take the lead on their own water projects. Our
largest water group is now located in Canada.”
Alberici likewise tapped the expertise of Canadian staff members who led multiple project teams on U.S. bio-diesel and ethanol
plant construction projects.
Kozicz counts the F.J. Horgan project among the company’s
recent signature Canadian achievements.
“It was our largest lump sum bid project of all time,” he says.
The company’s work on portions of the $2.8-billion Vale-Inco
nickel processing plant in Long Harbour, N.L. also tops the company’s signature project list. Alberici and joint venture partner
Black and McDonald are erecting steel building modules for the
plant, and Alberici is also a partner in a consortium awarded a
$637-million contract to assemble, install and commission the
plant’s equipment. The plant is scheduled to open this year.
“It’s one of the top three largest projects Alberici has ever
worked on,” says Kozicz. “Many of our staff members cut their
teeth on billion-dollar-plus projects in the U.S. and we were
thrilled to land a project of this size in Canada.”
Kozicz says he’s also proud of the company’s recent work on the
$67 million in upgrades to SaskPower’s coal-fired Boundary Dam
Station power plant in Saskatchewan. Together with joint venture
partner Balzer’s Canada Inc., an industrial contractor based in
Regina, Sask., AWCL installed a new steam turbine as part of one
of the world’s largest carbon capture and sequestration projects
inside a tiny six-month construction window. The project accessed
staff from Alberici’s Atlanta, St. Louis and Toronto offices.
Kozicz notes that partnerships and relationships with subcontractors are essential to project success.
“All of our partners need to live up to the reputation we set
for ourselves,” he says. “We strive to strike agreements that are

The $206-million expansion of this plant’s capacity
from 61 million gallons per day to 211 million gallons
per day is considered by Alberici among its recent
signature Canadian projects. Alberici expanded the
treatment building, installed an odour control system
and ozone treatment system. The project scope also
included three ozone contact tanks, five filter boxes,
two backwash surge tanks and six centrifugal pumps.
Alberici maintained existing operations through all
phases of work on the project, including maintenance
activities on existing filter systems.
There were $67 million in upgrades to this coal-fired
power plant. Alberici, together with joint venture
partner Balzer’s Canada Inc. installed a new steam
turbine as part of one of the world’s largest carbon
capture and sequestration projects. A key challenge
on this project was its short six-month construction
window. Alberici used a three-dimensional BIM model
generated by project engineer Stantec to improve
efficiency of construction and the project schedule.

Europe, rather than the United States,
is China’s biggest customer. With springlike evidence of recovery on the continent,
the decline in activity levels around the
Pacific Rim is halting and may be about to
pick up again.
China’s emergence on the world stage
has been largely driven by export-sales.
That’s proven to be a disadvantage over
the past couple of years as world trade
has slowed. The nation’s leaders in Beijing
would like to see their country shift to
more dependence on domestic demand.
Once Europe is more firmly in
recovery, though, the improvement in
China’s export sales will be both welcome
and rewarding.
Earlier, China was setting the pace
globally in infrastructure investment. That
immense spending push accounted for the
nation’s approximate 40% share of world
demand for many major commodities.
A return to that kind of demand on
the world’s resources won’t likely be seen
again. But as the citizens of the emerging

Europe is finally turning the corner.
The Euro-zone recently recorded its first
quarter-to-quarter positive increase in
gross domestic product (GDP) in nearly
two years.
Nations along the southern periphery
— Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal — still
face daunting debt problems, accompanied
by youth unemployment rates that are
north of 50%.
The adjustments that have been made
so far, however, are beginning to pay off.
Exclusive of interest payments, the budget
adopted by Athens has moved into surplus.
Lower labour rates have caused a surge in
tourism.
Germany is the leader among the Eurozone’s members. Chancellor Angela Merkel
has been the chief proponent of austerity
as the path out of the region’s credit crisis.
With the passage of time, the commitment
to belt-tightening is beginning to wane.

world continue to shift from subsistence
living to greater prosperity, the need for
raw materials to build transportation networks, schools and hospitals, as well as to
produce all manner of consumer goods,

The world’s third largest economy,
Japan, is engaged in a monetary exercise
similar to what the Federal Reserve has
been undertaking on behalf of the U.S.
economy. Central bank authorities in
Tokyo are greatly expanding the money
supply through bond purchases.
A consequent drop in the value of the
yen has helped the nation’s major industrial firms realize greater export sales. It
has also raised import prices, leading to
a positive side-effect. Harmful deflation
is finally giving way to the first stirrings
of more vigorous price increases in more

below 300,000 for the first time in six years
at the outset of September.
Earlier in 2013, new home starts shot
above one million units seasonally adjusted
and annualized (SAAR), after descending
as low as 450,000 units in the recession.
U.S. motor vehicle sales have climbed
to 16 million units SAAR from a trough
of nine million four years ago when two
of the Detroit Three needed to seek bankruptcy protection.
Two of the major U.S. stock market
indices — Dow Jones Industrials and the
S&P 500 — set new all-time highs in July
and NASDAQ is up 150% versus its February 2009 trough.
An energy sector boom is underway
in America, with shale gas deposits in
North Dakota, Texas and portions of the
West, yielding huge increases in reserves of
natural gas and oil.
Dangers lurk for the U.S. outlook and
they should not be overlooked. The sabrerattling over the Syrian government’s
use of chemical weapons against its own
people carries an inherent risk of higher
oil prices that may apply the brakes to
world growth.
Any cause of uncertainty, especially
when it involves conflict in the Middle
East, sends shock waves through global oil
markets.
Also, the next phase of the U.S. budget
debate is imminent, with Washington’s
debt about to strike its noggin against a
$16.7 trillion ceiling. Money to finance
day-to-day operations is expected to run
out by the end of October.
The U.S. has managed to scrape by
financially on account of two factors: 1)
“sequestration” that has reduced expenditures; and 2) higher tax receipts thanks to
an economy that has been outperforming
original estimates.
In the summer of 2011, when the
Republicans and Democrats last went toeto-toe on this issue, a resulting deadlock
caused Standard & Poor’s to lower the
nation’s debt rating. For the first time ever,
the U.S. lost its Triple-A status.
With respect to the outlook, Canada
presently has a singular notable advantage
over the U.S. economy — it is functioning
at a higher level to begin with.
Whereas employment in America still
sits nearly two million jobs below its prerecession peak, payrolls north of the border
are higher by 500,000-plus positions. More
income supports more output growth.
At the same time, Canada is facing two
major impediments. The first has to do
with foreign trade and it is comprised of
several elements.
Prior to the recession, Canada was able
to reliably count on a significant merchandise trade surplus every month, ranging
from $40 billion to $80 billion. Since 20082009, the surplus has disappeared, with
many months falling into deficit.
Part of the explanation lies in the weaker
level of world trade resulting from the
sub-prime mortgage disaster. U.S. financial institutions suffered, but it’s been the
banks in Europe that have born the greatest
burden from the resulting credit freeze.

The other major concern for Canada’s
economy moving forward lies in residential real estate.
Too enthusiastic condominium construction in a couple of major cities — Toronto and
Vancouver especially — has caused the Federal Ministry of Finance to introduce several
measures, staggered over a couple of years, to
tighten the mortgage approvals process.
The fear is that too many individuals
and families have been committing to
major home purchases at record low
interest rates without enough thought given
to higher carrying costs when interest rates
inevitably trend upward again.
In fact, that process is already
underway. The fear is that home prices will
plummet, foreclosures will skyrocket and
consumer spending, a mainstay of GDP,
will suffer a sharp decline.

The drop in world trade has had two
other interrelated dramatic effects. It
has put a hold on some of China’s more
ambitious infrastructure-building plans,
which has contributed to a pull-back
in commodity prices. The lower commodity prices inhibit Canada’s trade
success.
The Bank of Canada’s total commodity
price index has retreated by one-quarter
versus its zenith reached in the middle of
2008.
The turnaround in Canada’s foreign
trade picture may not be easy to resolve.
Heightened energy reserves in the U.S. are
seeing a lowering in demand from nations
overseas where the political climate features a degree of instability. Eventually,
there is likely to be an impact on demand
from Canada as well.

New and existing home prices have
been holding up fairly well. Also, new
home starts are down in a measured
manner, from 219,000 units seasonally
adjusted and annualized (SAAR) through
the first eight months of last year to
183,000 units during the same time frame
this year.
So far, this qualifies as a soft landing.
Multi-unit starts in Toronto year-to-date
have been curtailed significantly; likewise,
although to a lesser degree, in Vancouver.
With a pinch of good luck, Canada’s
economy may be helped by fortunate
timing. The downturn in homebuilding
activity may be counterbalanced by a pickup in world trade that will see commodity
prices pull out of their funk and help lift
investment spending.
Canada has a solid financial sector and
governments at the federal and provincial
levels are, in most instances, managing
their budgets responsibly.
A gradual increase in oil prices —
absent a major Middle Eastern conflict,
which admittedly is a risky assumption —
will help to spur on the oil patch.
There are at least five major oil pipeline
projects, to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
and to the Gulf of Mexico, that are seeking
approval. A go-ahead for any one of them
would provide a spur to the energy sector
on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Also, in its spring budget, the federal
government introduced a 10-year $70
billion spending program to expand and
repair infrastructure across the country.
And here’s another important observation. Canada is one of only a few nations
still experiencing a relatively rapid
annual increase in population, +400,000.
Immigration is accounting for two-thirds
of the gain.
Young workers are needed to support
an aging baby boomer demographic. Eager
immigrant arrivals landing in Canada have
heard about job opportunities tied to mega
resource project construction.
In 2012, Canada’s gross domestic
product (GDP) expanded by 1.7%, after
faster performances in 2011 (+2.5%) and
2010 (+3.4%). The recessionary change in
2009 was -2.7%.
For 2013, expect a figure nearly the
same as in 2012, +1.8%. In 2014, a quickening of the pace to +2.3% will set the
scene for 2015, when the world economy
should begin to really percolate.

Operating in British Columbia since 1987, the privately held
general contractor and construction management company is run
jointly by Sharp and a team that includes: CEO, Jim Bond; vicepresident operations, Dan Marsolais; vice-president pre-construction, Tyler Pasquill; and operations manager, Gene Gerwing.
“We’re all active in the day-to-day operation of the company,”
says Sharp.
Primarily serving the Greater Vancouver area, Ventana offers a
comprehensive range of services, including pre-construction, general contracting, construction management, sustainable strategic
planning, design build-projects and public-private partnerships.
Open to a range of projects, the company focuses primarily on
commercial, industrial, retail, multi-unit residential, retirement
and recreational facility construction.
Ventana was founded in B.C. by Bond who moved to Vancouver in 1987, after serving as president of an Edmonton-based
construction company started by his father.
“Jim started small in Vancouver, but grew the business by
focusing on providing good service and building a solid list of
repeat clients,” says Sharp. “We’ve maintained that focus on service ever since.”
The company’s partner roster expanded rapidly as the company grew. Gerwing moved from Alberta to join the company in
1988. Sharp joined Ventana in 1991.
“I had graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in the late 1980s and worked for a small general
contractor in Burnaby,” he recalls. “The owner retired so I went
looking for a new position and was introduced to Jim. We clicked
in our first conversation and that’s how I joined the company.”
Marsolais joined Ventana in 1992, while Pasquill joined the
company in 2000.
“We each have a specialty,” says Sharp. “Jim, Tyler and I steer
pre-construction and the company as a whole, while Dan and
Gene manage current projects. What do we have in common?
Our root interest—our inherent desire—is to build buildings. It’s
what we enjoy doing. Rule number one at Ventana is that you
have to love what you do. Everything else flows from that.”
Each business decision and each project pursued by the company is discussed openly among the management team.
“After being together for more than 20 years, the five of us
know each other as well as we know some of our family members,” says Sharp. “At the end of the day, every decision we make is
unanimous. If it’s not unanimous or something doesn’t feel right,
we won’t move forward on that proposal or project.”
That emphasis on personal relationships echoes throughout
the company’s operations. Its motto: “Relationships to build on.”
“Our job is to deliver the best project possible in a way that
works for our clients, while also creating strong working relationships within our teams and with our clients” says Sharp. “That
delivers better projects for the entire project team, from architects
to consultants and sub-trades and better projects for our clients.”
Ventana employs about 120 people, split almost equally
between the office and in the field.
“All of the B.C.-based partners—Dan, Tyler and I—graduated
from BCIT and that’s where we tend to start our search for fresh,
young talent,” says Sharp.
New hires from the school are immediately brought into a
project team and are mentored by a project manager or superintendent for a number of years. Other new employees who already
have experience in the construction industry are incorporated

into existing project teams to learn Ventana’s method of doing
business.
“We take a long time with new employees not only to get them
up to speed on our approach to project management, but also to
show them how to look after clients, to be collaborative and to
make each project better,” says Sharp.
Ventana’s hiring goal is to create long-term relationships with
employees. Many have now been with the company for 10 to 15
years, while some site superintendents have spent their entire
careers with Ventana.
“Construction is primarily a people business and retaining talented employees is essential to maintaining the integrity and principles that shape this company,” says Sharp. “We don’t do business
with generic corporate entities —our business is conducted
almost purely person to person and that filters down to our relationships with individual clients, consultants and sub-trades. In
many cases, we have clients approaching us and asking to work
with a particular project manager or site superintendent.”
Ventana’s current slate of repeat customers includes Mercedes-Benz Canada, Canadian Tire, Best Buy Canada Ltd.,
OpenRoad Auto Group, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, Dueck Auto
Group, Canada Lands Company Ltd., Pacific Arbour Retirement
Residences, Tonko Realty Advisors/Triovest and GWL Realty
Advisors.
The company stresses the value of its pre-construction competency and its ties to the current trade market.
“Our core specialty is our ability to manage the construction process and that begins with the development process as we
endeavour to provide timely, accurate and reliable intelligence
with which our clients can make the best decisions possible,”
says Sharp. “We can share our diverse construction experiences
in every marketplace over the last 25 years, from residential
and commercial-industrial to retail, and improve the odds of
their success. Examples of that might include suggestions about
materials, such as using concrete instead of structural steel on a
parking building that achieves the same or better results at a lower
cost, or a building envelope material that offers better detailing at
the same price.”
Ventana also prides itself on its LEED and green building
expertise. The company has worked on more than 35 green
building projects in the last five years, and provides sustainable
strategic planning on relevant projects. The pre-construction
phase of each project allows the company to look at green system
possibilities in a value engineering exercise designed to meet performance or budget targets. Those choices can make significant
capital impacts on the project, and operational impacts after the
building is commissioned and handed over to the client.
While most of the company’s projects are located in the
Greater Vancouver area, Ventana has stretched its wings as far
north as Prince George, B.C. and as far east as Moose Jaw, Sask.
and Toronto, Ont.
“We don’t chase projects outside of the Lower Mainland,” says
Sharp. “In most cases the work farther afield is based on our relationships with our existing clients and projects we’ve completed
for them.”
A case in point is Mosaic Place, also known as the Moose Jaw
Multiplex, the home of junior hockey’s Moose Jaw Warriors.
“In 2004, we had built the Prospera Centre in Chilliwack, a
6,000-seat arena for the Chilliwack Chiefs and we also completed
the Langley Events Centre in 2009,” says Sharp. “These became

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.”

Among the requirements of the project —zero thermal bridging.
“We implemented some technologies that were being used for
the first time in Canada,” says Sharp. “It was also our first time
working with Isokorb, a load-bearing thermal insulation manufactured by Schöck that provides a thermal break between the
balcony and interior floor.”
The company also recently completed work on the new Central City Brewery + Distillery, a 100,000-hectolitre facility located
in Surrey, B.C.
“Isn’t it everyone’s dream to build a brewery?” asks Sharp. “It’s
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because we see very few new
brewery projects in the Vancouver area.”
In addition to building the facility, Ventana fashioned all of
the connection points for stainless steel brewing equipment and
assisted the European installer in successfully integrating the
equipment with the building.
Sharp says he expects the Greater Vancouver construction
market will remain largely stable over the next few years.
“I don’t see it becoming crazy busy because we aren’t going to be
seeing major events like the 1986 World Exposition in Vancouver
or the 2010 Winter Olympics on the horizon,” he says. “However,
we don’t see the bottom falling out of the market either.”
Ventana’s own plans for growth are based on satisfying its core
client list and ensuring the strength of repeat business.
“Serving the needs of our existing clients is key, but we’re
always out looking for new business as well,” notes Sharp.
“Regardless of who those clients are, we’re nimble enough to adapt
to whatever type of building they need. Our growth plan is possible thanks in large part to that diversity, and our ability to
deliver whatever our clients need us to build – whether it’s an auto
dealership, a condominium tower, an office building or a hockey
arena. Ultimately, our emphasis is on serving clients, not aggressively growing market share. We’re confident that growth will
occur naturally out of that strategy.”

a sort of model for the British Columbia Hockey League and
Western Hockey League (WHL) rinks. Based on the relationship we built with the WHL we were asked to build the 5,000seat Moose Jaw project using Chilliwack, B.C. as a model.
Pursuing the project in Moose Jaw made sense because it built
on the relationships we had established building similar successful projects for our clients.”
Bringing in trades from B.C., Alberta and Manitoba, the
design-build project was completed in 2011.
Among signature projects closer to home, Sharp cites the
Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) corporate head office in Vancouver.
“This is part of a long-standing relationship with MEC,” says
Sharp. “We built the company’s store on Broadway 18 years ago as
well as the new North Vancouver retail store that was completed
last summer. The current project is aiming for LEED Platinum
and includes green features such as passive air conditioning using
high-volume, low-velocity air circulating under the floor of the
building.”
The project also employs a proprietary nail-laminated structural floor system made up of 2” x 8” pieces of dimensional
lumber nailed together to make up 4’ x 40’ wooden floor panels.
These panels, made from B.C. timber, are used instead of a steel
decking and concrete flooring system that would normally be
used on a steel structure.
Work on the Westerleigh Retirement Residences in West
Vancouver and Cedar Springs Retirement Residences in North
Vancouver, for Pacific Arbour Retirement Communities, also
challenged Ventana to think differently about energy efficiency.
“These are multi-unit retirement residence projects built for
an owner who spends half his time in Canada and the other half
in Europe,” says Sharp. “Energy costs a lot more in Europe and
the owner pushed us out of our Vancouver-mindset and made us
think more like a European contractor.”

In addition to constructing the 64,000 sq. ft. base

Ventana built both the 157,000 sq. ft. Cedar Springs

Shore. These LEED Gold projects came with specific
requirements, most notably ensuring optimal energy

building to the exterior — a process known
as thermal bridging. This was the first time the

The 125,000 sq. ft. Mountain Equipment Co-op corporate head office is one of Ventana’s signature projects.
This is the third collaboration for MEC and Ventana, following the construction of two Vancouver-area retail
stores. The project is targeting LEED Platinum certification and incorporates green features like a wooden floor
panel system, passive air conditioning that circulates under the floors and a 25,000 litre cistern that collects
rainwater for the building’s toilets and a roof-top garden. Completion is scheduled for summer 2014.

dmonton-based Clark Builders is responding to record high
levels of demand for construction services in 2013, as the
company adapts to a changing business environment created by the
global economic recession and diversifies into new markets.
“We had banner years in 2007 and 2008, because we had ramped
up for a lot of volume and the bottom line that would fall out from
that,” said Paul Verhesen, president of Clark Builders. “When the
price of oil fell in 2009, we had projects come to a grinding halt and
$400 million in backlog disappeared. In the same time period, we
realized that the resource and mineral sectors would struggle, so
our traditional industrial market would suffer.”
PHOTOS: CLARK BUILDERS
Paul Verhesen, president of Clark Builders which
is based in Edmonton, Alta. Clark Builders was
last featured in The Leaders in 2008.
Alberta had strong economic growth between 2003 and
2008. Stats Canada report that real gross domestic product
(GDP) increased by 3.2 per cent. GDP continued to grow at a
higher rate in 2004 (5.5 per cent), 2005 (4.8 per cent) and 2006
(6.2 per cent). At the end of this period, the economy grew at a
slower rate of 2.1 per cent in 2007 and 1.7 per cent in 2008.
As a result of this economic upswing, Clark Builders experienced a 40 per cent jump in the volume of work and generated
$475 million in annual revenues. In the final year of the boom
in 2008, the volume of work Clark put in place increased by
26 per cent to $600 million.
Due to this rapid growth, Clark recruited employees from
other provinces, especially Saskatchewan, Ontario and
Newfoundland. In 2007 and 2008, Clark had at least 400
employees who lived outside Alberta.
The Alberta economy grew for three consecutive years in
2010 (4.3 per cent), 2011 (5.3 per cent) and 2012 (3.9 per cent),
according to Statistics Canada.
“We never dropped volumes, but what did suffer was our
bottom line, and that continues today,” said Verhesen. “In 2012, we
did close to $800 million in volume of work and that will continue
to grow, but the margin is more historical or normal in nature.”
As a result of this growth, Clark is once again faced with a
shortage of skilled labour. However, during the current period
of growth, workers from Newfoundland and Saskatchewan have
the option of going back to Alberta or remaining at home.
Clark Builders implemented a new business strategy to
increase its share of the Canadian market in November 2011, by
establishing a partnership with New York-based Turner Construction Company.
The deal gave Clark Builders the ability to continue to make
business decisions locally while increasing its project capacity.
It also gave the company greater access to financial and management resources, which provide a platform for expanding
its services.
Turner gained a 51 per cent share in Clark, which augments
Turner’s current operations in Toronto and Vancouver. Clark
Builders has about 700 employees who continue to own 49 per
cent of the company.
Turner has 5,200 employees and a network of offices in North
America and around the world. The company is involved in more
than 1,200 projects each year and has an annual construction
volume of $9 billion.
schools. The project is scheduled for completion by the fall of
2014.
Clark Builders was awarded a $97 million contract by the
Alberta government in October 2009 to design and build four
new high schools in Calgary, Edmonton, Sherwood Park and
Spruce Grove. The schools were part of the Alberta Schools Alternative Procurement II project.
Verhesen said the shift to the public infrastructure market in
2009 helped maintain Clark’s work volume. But, the economic
decline in Alberta was too weak and temporary to be called a
recession.
Instead, Verhesen describes Clark Builders’ adjustment to
Alberta’s economic conditions in 2009 as a correction or stabilization. Clark Builders generated annual revenues of $492 million
in 2010.
Verhesen is also looking for solutions to the labour shortage
facing Clark Builders through his involvement in Productivity
Alberta, as a member of its industry advisory committee.
During Alberta’s last economic boom, Verhesen realized that
one of the keys to addressing the labour shortage is increasing
productivity.
“I got involved with Productivity Alberta, because as an
industry our productivity continues to be less than our peers
around the world and is deteriorating,” he said. “This is not sustainable. If it wasn’t for the resource sector, we would not be
competitive on the world stage.”
Productivity Alberta offers a range of products and services
to help companies identify and address gaps in productivity,
maximize resources and be more efficient. Verhesen will become
the chair of the board of the organization at its next annual general meeting.

“The growth curve for all construction companies was exceptional and every company was growing by 10-15 per cent a year,
which was not sustainable,” said Verhesen.
However, the collapse of oil prices from a record high of $147
a barrel in July 2008 to below $40 in December caused an economic slowdown in Alberta.
An RBC Economics report released in December 2008, said
the violent swing in oil caused several large oil companies to
delay or cancel $45 billion worth of upgrader construction projects. Statistics Canada reported that real GDP declined by 4.6 per
cent in 2009.
In response, Clark’s management team right-sized the company and some employees who maintained their primary residence in another province returned home.
In addition, Clark’s management diversified into new construction markets.
“So, we started to focus on infrastructure work with municipalities and the province,” said Verhessen. “We were fortunate
that we picked up some projects that started right away and
some that have only started recently.”
In August 2013, Clark Builders started construction of the new
$294-million Centre for Applied Technologies at the Northern
Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT). The facility is scheduled
for completion at the start of the 2016-17 academic year.

Clark Builders signed a $289 million public-private partnership

In Australia’s recent federal election,
the right-of-centre Liberal party replaced
the coalition Labour government. The
winning platform included provisions to
repeal carbon tax measures and a so-called
super-tax on mining company profits. The
displeasure with these measures by the
electorate “down under” may halt, or at
least slow down, their adoption in other
jurisdictions around the world, including
Canada.
On a similar subject, Saskatchewan is in
the forefront of carbon capture and storage
technology, with a groundbreaking pilot
project underway at the Boundary Dam
site near Estevan.
It also has a lock on the northeastern
corner of the vast Bakken shale oil and gas
play that has brought such prosperity to
North Dakota.
One of the largest oil-producing regions
in the world is sitting with a product that
has limited access to a major ocean port.
Alberta must await a decision on whether
or not one or more of at least five major

pipeline projects will receive approval from
regulatory agencies.
In the case of the Keystone XL pipeline
expansion, it’s the President of the U.S.
himself who has made it clear he will make
the final decision. Mr. Obama believes he
is defending environmental interests, when
he talks down Keystone.
To assure him that Canada is acting as
responsibly as it can, the Harper government in Ottawa has indicated willingness
to co-ordinate our environmental efforts
with what the U.S. is doing.
If the Keystone line to the Gulf Coast
is labeled a “no go”, the oil will still be
shipped to the U.S. by means of rail,
coastal shipping or river/canal barges. The
damage inflicted by a derailment in Lac
Mégantic, Que., however, ensures that a
further tightening of safety measures will
be enacted.
Alberta, with 11% of the nation’s population, accounts for 24% of total exports.
B.C., with a larger proportion of population, 13%, provides a much smaller share
of total exports, only 7%.
B.C. is, however, the nation’s leader in forestry product exports, providing about one-
third of the nation’s total. This is one reason
to pay such close attention to the rebounding
level of American housing starts, with the
hope that they will make their way back to
their old level between 1.5 million and 1.7
million units SAAR each month.
B.C.’s export disparity will also be
rectified if Premier Christy Clark’s plans
to develop a liquefied natural gas export
industry in the north of the province are
realized. Four or five major proposals are
being considered that will require shipping
terminals near Kitimat as well as natural
gas pipelines from fields in the northeast
of the province or further away in Alberta.
At the same time, proposals to ship
more oil to eagerly awaiting customers
in Pacific Rim nations are facing an
uphill challenge. Hearings into Enbridge’s
Northern Gateway line have made it clear
that neither environmental advocates
nor many aboriginal groups will ever be
swayed by assurances that the oil can be
moved safely.
A second pipeline for Kinder Morgan’s
existing route to the Port of Vancouver
may receive a warmer welcome, but it’s no
sure thing.
The people of B.C. apparently feel they
can afford to be a little more relaxed about
their economy. They’re blessed with an
abundance of natural beauty that assures
people will want to relocate there from
other parts of Canada, the U.S. and abroad.
There’s considerable truth to this assertion. The high-tech world of U.S. Pacific
Coastal states — a sector of the economy
that continued to thrive even during the
recession and has been among the first out
of the gate since then — finds a willing
partner just across the border in B.C.
Let me conclude with some stock
market data. All four major North American indices — Dow Jones Industrials (DJI),
the S&P 500, NASDAQ and the Toronto
Stock Exchange (TSX) experienced their
most recent lows in February 2009. Since
then, NASDAQ is +150%; the DJI and S&P
500, +100% and the TSX, +50%.
While the Canadian economy is continuing to chug along, performing adequately if not starring on the world stage,
the full potential of resource sector stocks
in the TSX remains to be unleashed.

As Canadian projects become larger and the public sector
relies on the private sector to take on more risk, some Canadian
contractors say they are being pushed out of the marketplace by
large international firms.
“All our competitors give me all sorts of flak. The thing is we’re
hiring Canadians. We’re bringing some expertise from our extensive experience in the U.S., but the majority of new people here in
Ontario are Canadian,” explained Lesurf, a Canadian.
“When it’s not, we’re leveraging experiences that maybe we
don’t have here in Canada.”
Lesurf noted that not many major wastewater projects have
been done in Ontario recently and there are only a few major
contractors who have $400+ million project experience in wastewater, healthcare, commercial, transit, bridges or heavy civil
construction.
“It is in the project’s best interests to bring in those people with
the right skill sets and then you pair them up with Canadians that
have some of the skill sets. Together they form the most qualified
team for the project.”
Lesurf began working for Walsh in 2012 and was immediately
attracted to the family-led company from Chicago, founded in
1898.
“Although we have revenues north of $4 billion a year, we’re
still a family-run and family-led company, it has a family feel.
Everybody at Walsh has a name, not a number, it’s a big deal.”
Walsh is a general contracting, construction management, and
design-build firm that is currently led by the family’s fourth generation. The third generation, brothers Matt and Dan Walsh, serve
as co-chairmen.

“Walsh has come into Canada not as an American company,
but as a company doing business with a Canadian regional office.
They’ve embraced the culture here.”
After winning the $273-million Women’s College Hospital

Ontario presence by establishing a regional office, landing a
$170-million subway station project and is working on six multimillion dollar projects throughout the province. Walsh is also

that Matt and Dan are instilling in everybody; we’re not going to
do business any other way,” said Lesurf.
These family values are demonstrated in
how the company gives back to the community
and the industry through initiatives like Habitat for Humanity and Helmets to Hardhats.
Walsh also cares about nurturing its workforce and has a strong focus on growing its
interns and providing training for all its
employees. The company has a formal
internship program which allows
for placements in various locations
to gain experience and assignments
where interns speak with and interview senior industry practitioners.
“You’re part of helping grow the
youth and making sure the training is
there for everybody, that everybody
has a career path, that everybody has
a way forward,” said Lesurf.
“If you don’t invest in training and you expect everyone else to
train your next staff, then you’re going to be in trouble. The idea
here is being proactive.”
Lesurf carries that tradition on a personal level as well. He
helped found the Construction Institute of Canada, is on the
board of directors at the Toronto Construction Association, is
chairman of the program advisory council for George Brown
College’s construction management program and just completed
a three-year term serving on the program advisory council for
Ryerson University’s School of Architecture. He also regularly
guest lectures at Ryerson and George Brown as a way to give back
and help grow the next generation.
In another effort to prepare for the future, Walsh was one
of the early adopters of Building Information Modeling (BIM)
about 15 years ago and took the technology to the next level on
the Women’s College Hospital redevelopment in Toronto, where
Walsh is the design-builder.
“We’re asset tagging every piece of equipment in the facility.
We’re putting GPS position data into the model. We’re taking
progress photographs of all building services during construction
and before we close the walls, we put those photographs in the
model,” explained Lesurf.
The Women’s College Hospital redevelopment is 70 per cent
complete with Phase 1 finished in May 2013. Overall project
completion is slated for May 2015. The building features extensive
mechanical systems that include deep water cooling and steam
services. The project’s new construction area is 639,000 square
feet, including three levels of below-grade parking.
Walsh’s BIM approach on this project is one it has applied to
other pursuits, such as its three current public-private partnership
(P3) projects in Ontario. The company has a global BIM department and full-time BIM staff in Ontario. Walsh is also on the

Walsh brings financial strength, has an equipment fleet worth
over half a billion dollars, numerous other assets, no debt and a
bonding facility approaching $10 billion, said Lesurf.
Construction projects bring various challenges and areas of focus,
one of the areas Walsh sees as a priority is proper project close-out.
Lesurf believes the industry is not doing a good enough job in
closing out projects. Walsh has an internal committee focusing
on close-outs and Lesurf has been speaking on the issue at events
such as Construct Canada and the Ontario General Contractors
Association symposium and has been a contributor to the OAA/
OGCA’s “A Guide to Project Close-out Procedures”.
“Project close-out is an important deliverable in our industry.
We need to raise the bar and continually improve it,” he said.
Lesurf said the key to proper project close-out is to start the
planning process at the beginning.
“You need to make sure you dot your I’s and cross your T’s
along the way so that when you get to the end of a project the last
three per cent is not 15 per cent of the effort — it’s less than three
per cent.”
Walsh is currently tracking almost $2 billion worth of work in
Canada that it is going to bid on, or expects to be prequalified for,
over the next six to eight months.
Lesurf sees a great future for business growth in Ontario and
Canada for Walsh.
“We’re going to do it with controlled sustained growth based
on our risk analysis and matrices that we’ll use on every project
pursuit, for a good number of projects across Canada, in the near
future and we will do it utilizing Canadians,” he explained.

George Brown College steering committee which has created a
BIM academy at the college.
BIM is a component of all of Walsh’s contracts and the consultants they work with have adopted it.
Though the Women’s College redevelopment was Walsh’s first
project in Canada, the company specializes in both heavy civil
and ICI projects.
“Walsh also has a lot of extensive expertise in wastewater. We
have a lot of staff with the right experience,” said Lesurf.
“We have a comfort level in that field. With the current climate
in Ontario there’s a lot of wastewater work, so we’re pursuing
work that is within our wheelhouse of expertise,” said Lesurf.
Walsh was just awarded the $147-million Ashbridges Bay
Treatment Plant project for building upgrades and odour control
system in the P Building for the City of Toronto.
The project includes installation of new electrical ductbanks
and concrete sewage conduits, bypass chambers and splitting
chambers. The contract also requires construction of a new
screen building, a workshop building and renovation of an
existing grit building.
In its current Ontario experience, one of the project models
Walsh has engaged in are joint venture, such as the Women’s
College Hospital project. The key to a successful joint venture is
finding the right partner, explained Lesurf.
“You actually have to look at other people and assets that they
are bringing to the table. Do they bring the right people? Are they
in the right relationships? Are they bringing the right financial
strength?”

s Canadian construction projects become larger, the role
of general contractors is changing, EllisDon has found
since it was last profiled in the 2007 The Leaders issue.
General contractors have had to broaden their capabilities
because of the increasingly widespread use of public-private partnerships (P3s) and transferring of risk, said EllisDon president and
chief executive officer Geoff Smith, the head of the $3 billion global construction services company.
“In 10 years that’s the way all buildings will be done. The contractors will be involved from
the beginning and they’ll be
required not just to guarantee
the outcome from the conceptual stage, but they’ll have to
execute on that over the life of
the building and that won’t just
be P3s, that’ll be everywhere.”
Projects are also becoming
more complicated.
“The mechanical, electrical
and building systems are now
so complicated and so computerized that you have to be an
expert in this as a general contractor, you can’t subcontract it
out,” he said.
“It used to be that the structure was the most important
part and everything just followed that. Now, to me, it’s all
about the systems and everything else is just a shell for these
living breathing systems.”

on-site so everyone can see Building Information Modeling (BIM)
drawings without having to return to the office.
In 2007, the William Osler Health Care Centre in Brampton, Ont.
had been EllisDon’s largest project, now the $1-billion Oakville Hospital is the largest project EllisDon has ever guaranteed.
EllisDon guaranteed the early design, the performance, the
finances and is involved in all the building systems, design and
operation.
“Mainly because of its size and the breadth of our involvement
in guarantees, it’s a showcase project.”
EllisDon is also performing all the managed services on the
$300-million Surrey Memorial Hospital Critical Care Tower, the
company’s first P3 in British Columbia.
EllisDon has come a long way since it was founded by brothers
Don Smith and David Ellis Smith in 1951 with a wheelbarrow and
four employees. Though Don Smith passed away in July 2013, his
legacy of not being afraid to try something new lives on. In the 1950s,
EllisDon was the first Canadian company to have tower cranes.
“My dad was just this young guy and goes over and spends
about half a million dollars on two tower cranes and it scared the
hell out of him. But he said this is going to make us better and
they’re coming anyways, so I’d better get ahead of it,” said Smith.
“He just demonstrated this remarkable lack of fear. That creates
this state of mind, this ethos in the company where it frees everybody else up to try new things.”
CAN
In 2007, Smith remarked that the company’s bread and
butter projects had grown from $50 to $60 million in 2002 and
were being squeezed out by $200 million and $300 million
projects.
“Now you’re looking at these big transportation projects,
like the Ottawa LRT, north of $2 billion, and looking at Eglinton
Crosstown, it’s north of $3 billion. The projects are continuing to
grow and getting more complex as well.”
He noted that recently there has been some pushback to this
trend. Canadian contractors are saying that some of these projects have become too large, pushing them out of the market as
larger international firms come in to bid.
“The politicians are listening so I think you’re going to see a
leveling off at least for the time being, they may even make the
projects smaller.”
He said government has a role in ensuring that the playing
field is level between international and domestic contractors
though he does not believe the government should engage in
protectionism.
“Though it’s on a provincial level, our labour relations laws
are hugely outdated, they give international contractors a huge
advantage over the domestic contractors,” he said.
Governments can support domestic contractors through letters of credit via national banks, a common practice in Europe.
There currently is such a program in Canada but it is temporary.
In order to compete, EllisDon has been focusing on growing
with acquisitions and expanding its capabilities in different
areas such as civil and industrial.
“We think the world is going to cleave into big contractors
and little ones, you don’t want to be mid-sized. The risk is being
caught in the middle so we think it’s better being bigger with
bigger capability,” he said.
“We have to watch for the opportunities and grab them
when they come and then that will deliver the growth.”
Joint venturing is also an opportunity to compete on larger
projects.
“Of course, you do end up joint venturing with other companies and you end up joint venturing with international companies just because they’re there and sometimes they have the
capability that you don’t have,” explained Smith. “We don’t have
an EllisDon, for example, tunneling capability, with these big
civil jobs. We have to make sure we have that on our team.”
With EllisDon’s focus on growing its capabilities, it is a challenge to maintain the signature culture of trusting employees
with key decision-making powers.
“The leadership you put in place across the company and the
values that those individuals have, that’s the key,” he said.
“You just need to root out bureaucracy and stupid policies,
unnecessary guidelines wherever you can, and just keep telling
people we trust you and you do a good job and keep doing a
good job and everybody’s accountable.”
It’s also important to keep the company as open and
transparent as possible.
The trust EllisDon builds in its employees is a
catalyst for innovation. This was demonstrated
when the research and development department designed and created its own formwork system.
“Now we’re using it on a lot of our big
formwork jobs. It’s much lighter, it’s much
more mobile, so it’s much cheaper to use than
other systems.”
The company also has created mobile video
screens that are tougher and lighter and can be taken

Electricity will flow through an
undersea cable, first to the island of Newfoundland and then on to Nova Scotia,
where it will be distributed to business
enterprises and households. There may be
further distribution to New Brunswick and
New England states.
Understandably, the legislature in Nova
Scotia has expressed concerns about the
cost of the power. Hydraulic fracturing
(a.k.a. “fracking”) has raised natural gas
reserves in the U.S. and kept the price
below $4.00 per mmcf (million cubic feet).
In turn, this has lowered the cost of generating electricity when natural gas is used as
the feedstock.
Saint John, N.B. has been struggling
with one of the weakest labour markets
in the country. The city’s mayor, along
with the premier of the province, has
enthusiastically embraced TransCanada’s
proposal for an Energy East pipeline to
carry Alberta crude to tidal waters on the
Maritime Coast.
Saint John boasts a year-round deepwater seaport that can handle the largest
ocean-going oil tankers. Should the project
proceed, Irving Oil plans to spend $300
million on a trans-shipment terminal at
Canaport. The potential customer base
will then be almost anywhere in the world.

istressed by weak oil prices and
some maintenance shutdowns on
offshore oil platforms, Newfoundland and Labrador saw its GDP contract
by 4% in 2012. A mild turnaround in 2013
will blossom into fuller expression in 2014.
The future for the province, based on mega
project investment plans, is looking much
brighter.
The next major offshore oil project will
be the Hebron Field, with ExxonMobil as
the lead partner. Other participants in the
venture will include Chevron, Suncor and
Statoil, plus the provincial government
through its separate agency, Nalcor.
A drop in the price of nickel has caused
dollar output from Vale Inco’s Voisey’s Bay
project to be disappointing. A great deal
of the processing on the metal extracted
in Labrador is still being done outside the
province. This is expected to change in
2015, when the company’s Long Harbour
site is scheduled for completion.
The largest new hydroelectric project in
Canada is planned for the lower Churchill
River in Labrador, with construction of
a station at Muskrat Falls to be stage-one
work. An even larger generating unit at
Gull Island will proceed several years further down the road.

Predictably politicized Quebec stands
as a potential roadblock to some of
the Atlantic Region’s plans. Quebec is
already receiving vast amounts of power
from earlier stations on the Churchill
River and the price will soon drop even
lower, with a length-of-contract that
extends to 2041.
Whenever it can, Quebec sells the
power at a large profit to export buyers
in the U.S. northeast. Depending on a
legal ruling, there may be nothing stopping Quebec Hydro from doing more of
the same with new power generated at
the site.
Furthermore, even though the availability of Alberta oil would supplant
imports, thereby assuring supplies for
refineries in Quebec, the environmental
movement is strong in the province and
may throw up roadblocks to new pipeline
construction.
Quebec is the only province in Canada
so far to outright ban new gas exploration
by means of fracking. In this measure, it
has joined an exclusive group, with France
as most high-profile.

from the public service, is a magic act.
It’s a classic case of misdirection. Social
issues are shoving aside concerns about the
economy.
Meanwhile, the Charbonneau Commission continues to delve into corruption
in the construction industry. Incumbent
mayors in major cities have resigned in
disgrace to be replaced, in at least one
instance, by another from a local council
who was exposed as equally unworthy.
The province needs a shot in the arm.
A major new investment in aluminum
smelter capacity would be just the ticket,
but such an announcement will only come
when there are clear signs of an improving
price.
A pick-up in sales by the province’s
aerospace sector would also serve nicely.
The province accounts for approximately
two-thirds of the nation’s exports of aircraft and parts. So far, international sales
of Bombardier’s new C-Series jet have been
slow to clear the runway.
Demographic data is an excellent
starting point when analyzing Toronto’s
economic scene. While Montreal, Calgary,
Edmonton and Vancouver are each adding
between 30,000 and 40,000 people per
year, Toronto is much more expansive, at
+100,000.
That’s a whole new city on its own with
each circling of the sun. After the passage
of a decade, it’s a million new residents.
Census Metropolitan Area (CMA)
Toronto’s current population is six million. (A CMA is the broadest definition of
boundaries, including highly-integrated
suburbs as well as the downtown core).
Given that the national population
figure is 35 million, a quick calculation
reveals that one in six Canadians lives in
Ontario’s capital. Small wonder that there
is such a push for new infrastructure,
especially of the rapid-transit variety.
First stage work has been spurred on by
the city’s commitment to host the PanAm
Games in 2015.
Recent flash flooding during major
thunderstorms, with water takeaway systems overburdened and backing up, has
demonstrated the need for infrastructure
upgrades as well.
Train, light rail and subway proposals
abound. So does the jockeying for credit by
municipal and provincial politicians. The
work will eventually start, but the political
posturing will go on for months (probably
years) to come.
Toronto’s embattled mayor, Rob Ford
(i.e., he of the now you see it, now you
don’t, crack-cocaine-smoking video), is
an advocate of civil service payroll restrictions, but a fierce proponent of subway
construction. He has already indicated he
will be seeking re-election to his post in
November of next year. Left-leaning members of council and many in the media are
appalled by the image he is presenting. It
will no doubt be an interesting race.
The important auto sector in the province may be under fire on account of its
wage rates. Nearby Michigan has recently
signed “right-to-work” legislation, often
referred to as a “worker choice” rule,
to reduce union strength. Indiana has
brought in a similar law and Ohio is considering such a measure as well.
Work on a new bridge connecting
Windsor and Detroit will pump a great
deal of money into the local economy, both
during the construction phase and once
cargo is able to move faster back and forth
between Ontario and Michigan.
Investment dollar spending in the Ring
of Fire region northeast of Thunder Bay
has been slow to materialize due to the
sluggishness in world trade and the pullback in commodity prices.

A Reflection & Celebration:
York’s 50th Anniversary
York Excavating was founded by Santo Guizzetti & Partners in 1963, with ambition, hard work and dedication being its
pillars of success. Over the years, the company has established itself as one of the key excavating and grading companies
for many of Toronto’s most recognized landmarks. They created a name in Southern Ontario for customer service and
financial responsibility ahead of rapid growth.
What do the next 50 Years look like?
As they continue to maintain a commitment to leadership,
teamwork and passion the York team, led by Sr. Director
Vincent M. Germanese, are exploring many opportunities
and new ventures via York Environmental Solutions and
have expanded into different markets and continue to be
innovators of change for the industry.
York has rejuvenated their fleet under the guidance of
Sheldon Stork to support the future growth. They have come
a long way from starting with a fleet of four trucks in 1963
to now an impressive fleet of equipment and trucks hitting
75 units.
Congratulations to the York Team for reaching this milestone
and let’s celebrate with them.
