BANFF, ALTA. – Construction industry leaders recently celebrated the best of their peers at a milestone gathering.
The Canadian Construction Association’s (CCA) annual awards were presented on March 14 at the CCA’s 100th annual conference held in Banff, Alta.
Awards are given out in the categories of both Excellence and Recognition.
In the Excellence category, the Person of the Year award went to Terry Brown of STBR consulting.

It is the first Canadian public-private partnership compost project and is also on target to be the first LEED Gold V4 facility in Alberta.
