Peekaboo! 👀 Construction on GNW-Emily Carr Station is now happening above ground level. Walls and columns for the station entrance are now visible over the fencing. Want to see for yourself? Come take a peek through our viewing windows on Great Northern Way.

(2/2) BCIB hires individual skilled workers and supplies them to contractors. We do not select businesses. We have zero authority to do that.

(1/1) With regards to the Bruhn Bridge project:   BCIB is not involved in negotiating commercial agreements with Economic Development Groups, nor is BCIB involved in the pricing of construction contracts or the awarding of construction contracts.

The work of @bcibinc, assessed for its positive impact on the BC construction industry in this new @policyalternatives.ca report by John Calvert, [policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…] gets profiled below. Read why it is succeeding: #canlab #bc vicnews.com/news/bc-public…

In case you've wondered where we've been, BCIB is posting less on this platform. Happily, you can still find us on other social profiles.

A unique provincial organisation in #BC, the @bcibinc, uses a community benefits agreement to help workers land good jobs in construction. See highlights from the new @ccpa report about it! By John Calvert #canlab 1/3

Check out this flyover video of the #PattulloBridgeReplacement taken earlier this month! Flying from @CityofSurrey to @New_Westminster, aerial views of exciting progress on bridge construction can be seen. Watch the full video on YouTube: ow.ly/Qi5550VrToj

Great to meet Wayne Peppard, BCIB Board Member, to discuss how the Community Benefits Agreement is creating good jobs and opportunities in the skilled trades. Grateful for his support in promoting BCIB’s mission across B.C. #BCIB #SkilledTrades #BCPoli #PaulChoiBC

Happy Holidays to all from BCIB! We hope that everyone can slow down, spend time with loved ones, enjoy delicious food, and focus on resting up before another big year on the projects. See you in the New Year! #SkilledTradesBC
