Lessons from the projects shaping Canada’s future — room block closes September 7
Canada’s most ambitious infrastructure projects don’t happen by accident.
They require collaboration, innovation, and new approaches to navigating complexity—from major transit expansions and healthcare facilities to the municipal infrastructure that keeps communities moving.
This October 6–7 in Toronto, the Canadian Construction Association’s Best Practices in Construction Symposium brings together the leaders behind these projects to share the strategies, challenges, and lessons shaping construction across Canada.
Preferred hotel rates are available for Symposium attendees, but hurry as the room block rate expires Monday, September 7.
