Author: Business Examiner December 28, 2021 Duration: 29:21

The BC Construction Association (BCCA) is the only provincial organization advocating for all companies in BC’s industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) construction sector regardless of labour affiliations. It protects contractors’ interests with the provincial government, provides expert procurement services, access to project opportunities and talent, and funding for apprenticeship training.

As a non-profit, the BCCA’s mission is to ensure a productive and resilient industry. The Board members are industry leaders from across the province, and if you’re an Integrated Member of your Regional Construction Association you’re also a part of the BCCA.

From the job site to the boardroom, they value community, safety, ethical and respectful business practices, fair market competition, innovation, and leadership.

There's a lot of noise in the business world, but real insight often comes from those actively building, leading, and navigating markets day by day. From the trenches, presented by the Business Examiner News Group, grounds itself in that very idea. Each monthly episode is a direct conversation with a business leader from somewhere across British Columbia's diverse economic landscape. You'll hear the unfiltered perspectives of founders, investors, and executives as they discuss not just their successes, but the tangible challenges and strategic decisions that define their journeys. This podcast moves beyond theory to explore the practical realities of entrepreneurship, investment trends within the region, and the news stories that actually impact local commerce. The dialogue is focused on substance, offering listeners a chance to learn from the experiences of peers and pioneers operating in the same environment. It’s a resource for anyone invested in the province's business community, providing actionable context and a deeper understanding of what drives growth and innovation right here. Tune in for candid interviews that feel more like a strategic briefing than a broadcast, all dedicated to the real work happening on the ground.
