CCA Partner Association

 

The CCA Partner Association Award of Excellence was created in 1992 in memory of Jake Thygesen. The award recognizes CCA integrated partner associations who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in industry enhancement (through lobbying, government relations, etc.), education and member recruitment.

During his year as CCA Chair, Jake Thygesen was a firm believer in the association’s success being directly linked to the success of its individual partner associations.

Calgary Construction Association

The Calgary Construction Association (affectionately known as “Little CCA”) is shaking things up in the best way. With a focus on advocacy, workforce development, and member engagement, Calgary Construction Association is redefining what it means to support the construction industry. From 6 to over 221 media features in just a few years, the Calgary Construction Association is giving their members and industry a powerful voice.

They’re also inspiring the next generation through the Honour the Work School Program and their exciting BLUprint exhibit at TELUS Spark, bringing trades to life for kids. Their adaption of the Tailgate Toolkit as pioneered by the Vancouver Island Construction Association, and their efforts in the areas of championing apprenticeship programs and enhancing training initiatives show a deep commitment to workforce development and wellness.

A trusted voice in government, CCA regularly helps shape policies that matter. With a 25 per cent membership boost and growing impact, they’re not just supporting today’s industry—they’re building a vibrant, inclusive future for construction in Calgary and beyond.
