What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how collaborations between public entities and design-build teams can drive urban revitalization and economic growth. For Canadian builders, this means opportunities in large-scale civic projects, with considerations for integrating indigenous designs and sustainable practices. The extended timeline until 2028 offers a strategic horizon for planning resources, managing permits, and navigating potential supply chain challenges.
