VICTORIA – The British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) has launched a new education campaign aimed at giving the B.C. construction industry a central location called BuildersVote.ca to find what party leaders have said about issues important to them.
The site will outline each party’s commitments on how they would support the construction industry and its workers, a release said.
“We’re in the midst of a housing crisis, and B.C.’s construction industry plays a pivotal role in addressing this. The strength of any party’s policy to solve this crisis depends on the people who literally build B.C. Voters and those who make up our industry deserve to hear where parties stand on these issues,” BCCA president Chris Atchison said in a statement.
Industry employers and owners across the province contributed questions and an opportunity to respond for each party leader about how they plan to support builders and their families.
B.C. Premier David Eby’s answers are now online and answers from Conservative Party of BC Leader John Rustad and BC Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau will be live over the coming days, the release said.
“Members of B.C.’s construction workforce are pillars of our economy and make up a significant voter base in our province. This campaign offers voters, including business owners, workers and their families, a critical opportunity to understand how different parties seek to support the construction industry, not just on the job, but in their communities and at home,” Atchison said.
Additional campaign components will be released on social media and other avenues as the election campaign gets underway, the release said.
