Infrastructure is the backbone upon which society operates. There’s no solving the housing crisis without addressing housing-enabling infrastructure. Likewise for our economy. Canadian industry is reliant on trade-enabling infrastructure like highways, rail systems, ports and pipelines. And it is a similar picture for our energy markets. The move away from carbon-fuelled vehicles, homes and industry brings a need for new and expanded power plants, transmission lines, and so forth.

With the multiple levels of government in Canada funding infrastructure projects of all kinds, it could be argued that construction of infrastructure is the driving force behind our economy, and with new highways, power plants, hospitals, rail lines, and more either in the works or in planning stages, there’s a lot of activity that will keep construction companies busy for the foreseeable future.

To explore where Canada’s infrastructure sector is at, and where it is going, from the construction perspective, we invite you to join On-Site Magazine and representatives from several key industry organizations at 1 p.m. (ET) on Monday, March 24, as we explore current projects, upcoming projects, and the sector’s prospects going forward during this one-hour snapshot of Canada’s infrastructure sector, through a construction lens.
