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. With this edition, we start the chapter on 2022 – on what’s sure to be a year of innovation, as the construction industry continues to tackle a wide array of challenges, including rising costs of building, the changing environment, and the ongoing effects of the pandemic. Prestige Steel is an Ontario company well-poised to address the environmental challenges. They are a family-owned-andoperated offering highly-specialized, custom steel buildings for business and personal use. Their products are economical, recyclable, built strong, built to last, and can be delivered and installed at a faster pace than other materials. We talked to founder and President Jason Gullett about those advantages and the problems that steel buildings can solve – for example, we talked about his goal to build steel houses in the Bahamas, where they would be well suited due to their ability to withstand the winds of a hurricane. We also talked to Bryce Alston of Alston Properties, a renowned developer of multi-family apartments in Winnipeg, Calgary and Victoria. In that case, we talked particularly about their work in Winnipeg, where they are doing their part to encourage the city’s downtown revitalization. Bryce walked us through some of their landmark and award-winning projects in the city, including their work on the historic James Avenue Pump House in the East Exchange. Prior to their involvement, 17 attempts were made to revive that structure but the proposals were all denied. Bryce talked about how Alston Properties was motivated by that challenge, how they were able to finally push through, and the acclaimed result they have since achieved. Continuing west, this issue also features a look at Sunstone Pemberton, an ongoingmaster-planned neighbourhood nestled at the base of BC’s Mount Currie. Cam McIvor, Development Manager, talked about the latest news on that project, including the status of ELEVATE at Sunstone, their upcoming collection of highly-sought after duplexes. For those stories and many more like them – about builders and developers from all over the country – just keep reading.
