The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed September 23 to 27 as Saskatchewan Construction Week. The week commemorates the extensive economic and social contributions made by the province’s construction industry.
A key driver of economic growth, Saskatchewan’s construction industry is not only a major contributor to jobs in the province but also plays a crucial role in building the infrastructure necessary for a growing economy.
The week-long event honours the construction workers’ commitment, resilience, and the essential role they play in ensuring Saskatchewan remains strong and prosperous.
The growth the construction industry has experienced recently has had an overall positive impact on Saskatchewan’s economy, with Statistics Canada’s latest GDP numbers indicating the province’s 2023 GDP reached an all-time high of $77.9 billion, increasing by $1.2 billion, or 1.6 per cent.
Highlighting Saskatchewan’s infrastructure, here are three stories by Construction Canada to check out:
