The Construction Source

THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA CHBAworkstoensureCanadians have access to homes that meet their needs at a price they can afford to pay, and that the interests of homebuyers and homeowners are understood by governments. Since the onset of the pandemic, Canada’s housing industry has experienced a number of challenges, many of which are still ongoing. Over the past yearand-a-half, CHBA has met those challenges head on. “In the beginning, we figured out how to work safely,” says Kevin Lee, CEO of the association. “Then we worked closely with government to support our members through the worst of it. Now we’re ensuring the industry is part of the solution moving forward.” Kevin has personally spent his entire career in residential construction, serving in a variety of roles. He’s been a tradesman, he’s been an engineer, he has a Master’s in Architecture from McGill University, and he’s spent decades working in both the public and private sectors. In 2013, he accepted the position of CE0 of CHBA. He took on the role because housing has always been his passion – he wants Canadians to be “one of the best housed populations in the world,” and he wants to do his part in achieving that. Since he joined, Kevin has seen the association expand “In the beginning, we figured out how to work safely,” says Kevin Lee, CEO of the association. “Then we worked closely with government to support our members through the worst of it. Now we’re ensuring the industry is part of the solution moving forward.” Cdn PM Trudeau at CHBA Conference w CHBA Pres Stefanie Coleman and CEO Kevin Lee
