Saskatchewan drives decrease in institutional building permits in March 2025
AI Article Summary

In March 2025, the total value of building permits in Canada fell by 4.1% to $12.9 billion, led by declines in the non-residential sector. Saskatchewan significantly contributed to the drop with a decrease in institutional permits, while Ontario experienced declines in commercial construction. Although the industrial sector saw minor declines, residential permits increased by 2.0%, largely due to gains in multi-family constructions in British Columbia. The first quarter of 2025 showed an overall growth in building permits, particularly in the residential sector.
