Independent research released today confirms what we see on our sites every day: skilled, certified trades deliver!

Independent Project Analysis (IPA) reviewed 140 completed projects in B.C. and Alberta over 15 years. Union skilled trades were 17 per cent more productive, and total project costs were 7 per cent lower on average, which is about $70,000 saved on every $1 million. Labour shortages affected about 1 in 30 union projects, compared with nearly 1 in 5 open shop projects.

For our clients, that means schedule certainty and better value. For our people, it reflects the training and professionalism they bring to every job. We are proud to build alongside our union partners across Western Canada.
The report was released by the Building Trades of Alberta, the BC Building Trades and the Skilled Metal Trades Council.

🦺 Safety Through Learning, Leadership & Continuous Improvement

As we move through the second half of 2026, Connect Group remains committed to strengthening our Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) performance and ensuring safety remains at the forefront of everything we do.

Our Q3 and Q4 priorities include advancing Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles, strengthening workforce competency, managing critical risks, preparing for seasonal hazards, and maintaining strong leadership engagement in the field.

A key part of this commitment is continuing to build a strong learning culture - one where open communication, active worker participation, and meaningful conversations about risk help us learn, improve our systems, and make better decisions.

👏 Thank you to our teams for continuing to look out for one another, speak up when something doesn’t seem right, and demonstrate a commitment to safe work every day.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility, and together, we’re building a safer and stronger Connect Group.

🌧️ Rain or shine, Rock The Rails 2026 delivered an unforgettable weekend.

Friday’s rain cleared just in time for registration and the skate competitions, and the park quickly filled with incredible energy. Saturday brought delays due to weather, but the riders were ready to drop in at a moment’s notice, proving the event’s spirit never slowed down.

From the skate comp packed with talented young riders, to the vendor booths, to an all-star music festival all in one place, Rock the Rails once again showed what makes this event special: a community that shows up no matter the forecast.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out, competed, performed, volunteered, and supported the weekend. 🎸🛹👏
