Save with early bird pricing: Symposium takes you behind the scenes of two major builds
This October 6-7 in Toronto, the Canadian Construction Association is bringing construction professionals together to exchange practical approaches to delivering better projects at our second annual Best Practices in Construction Symposium.
One of the defining features of this year’s Symposium is the opportunity to hear directly from the owners and builders behind projects that are reshaping communities and setting new standards for project delivery.
The Union Station Enhancement Project: Delivering complexity
The Union Station Enhancement Project spotlight will bring together leaders from Metrolinx and Kiewit to discuss how one of Canada’s most high-profile transit projects is being delivered. From governance and stakeholder coordination to risk management and schedule discipline, attendees will gain practical lessons from a team navigating complexity at every stage of the project lifecycle.
For anyone involved in large-scale infrastructure, this session offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to deliver transformative public projects in today’s environment.
Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital: Building the future of Canadian healthcare
During this major project spotlight, leaders from Trillium Health Partners, PCL Construction, and EllisDon will share how collaborative delivery models, innovative governance approaches, and best-in-class construction practices are helping bring this landmark facility to life.
The discussion will explore the challenges and opportunities that come with delivering critical public infrastructure at an unprecedented scale – and the lessons that can be applied across the construction industry.
