On this episode of the Construction Record podcast, managing editor Vince Versace and daily editor Lindsey Cole take a look at the continuing controversy in British Columbia surrounding community benefits agreements, and then branch out to illustrate the role of the Daily Commercial News and the Journal of Commerce as the papers of record for the Canadian construction industry, and the need not only for both newspapers and websites to report the news but also provide a platform for opinion columns for members from across the spectrum of the industry.
We’ve also got an interview with Consulting Engineers of Ontario CEO Bruce G Matthews by Daily Commercial News staff writer Angela Gismondi, where he discusses the possible impact on the industry of the recent election of Doug Ford and the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party to power.
Journal of Commerce digital media editor Warren Frey also has an interview with Procore Technologies CEO CEO Tooey Courtemanche and regional director Jas Saraw about technological changes sweeping across the construction sector and some of the other ways the industry is adapting to changing demographics and work practices.
