Canada needs more homes. Residential construction needs more people ready to build them. That means more women seeing home building and renovation as serious, long-term career paths. Across Canada, local and provincial HBAs are helping open more doors through mentorship, education, networking, and career support for women in the industry. Through CHBA’s Women in Residential Construction network, these efforts are being shared and strengthened across the country. This matters for the whole sector. More skilled workers and stronger leadership will help build a healthier future for residential construction in Canada.

@BuildForceCan estimates that to reach the gov't target of 5.8M homes over the next decade to address affordability issues, the home building workforce must grow to more than 1.03M workers by 2033 – 83% above current levels. And ramping up to those levels will be no easy task.
