All the best, The Editorial Team We will keep adding business units that enhance our offering and separate us from our competition. “ ” Editor From The Dear Reader, Welcome to the latest issue of Construction Source Canada, the magazine that highlights the best in building and building products across the country. On our cover this edition is QM Environmental, one of the most capable environmental and industrial services providers in Canada. From offices across the country, their 400-strong team of experts help their clients to minimize waste, manage costs, and reduce their impact on the environment. We talked with them about some of those clients and their major projects, and about the ever-evolving nature of what they do. Also in this issue, for the first time, is a labour union – LiUNA Local 1059, to be specific. They represent approximately 5,000 construction workers and industrial/service sector workers employed in and beyond Southwestern Ontario. We spoke to Brandon McKinnon, Business Manager, about the services they provide those members – including a new wellness centre, which offers dental, optical, physio, chiro and massage services – and about the growing trend of employers coming to them and voluntarily signing up, because they see the benefits of having access to a trained and skilled workforce. The theme of this edition is diversity. Also included within are companies including Kinsol Timber and Pomerlau. Kinsol Timber is a BC-based mass timber frame company that works with architects, engineers and general contractors to in order to deliver care-fully detailed, constructible and environmentally-sustainable structures, from custom homes to playgrounds (under their KinsolPlay banner) to commercial and industrial projects. Pomerleau, meanwhile, is an Ontario-based leader in construction that works across Canada. They believe “innovation lies at the heart of the construction industry’s future.” In this issue, they lay out their history of innovation and some of the ways they remain at the forefront of innovation today. For those stories – and many more like them – just keep reading.
