This October, Winnipeggers will head to the polls to elect a new city council and mayor. Over the next several weeks, WCA is asking mayoral candidates questions about issues that have a deep impact on the local construction industry.

Our fourth question comes from Amanda North, Team Leader of Programs with Defence Construction Canada and current MWC Chair. Watch the video below to see her question on how the new mayor will collaborate with the Winnipeg Metro Region to attract outside investment, and be sure to watch this space, our Twitter feed and our LinkedIn page for more.

144 Golfers enjoyed beautiful weather, cold drinks and fun with friends at Grand Pines Golf Course on Wednesday, June 22. We’ll get to the winners shortly, but first a message from WCA President Ron Hambley:

“Thank you WCA golfers!  Normally we would get a chance to thank you as the day winds down but with these new casual formats, there isn’t an opportunity to do that. I just wanted to thank all of you, on behalf of everyone at WCA, for coming out and enjoying the day with us. And it was a glorious golf day! I would also like to thank all of our generous sponsors, and feature hole hosts for their enthusiasm and refreshments. I hope everyone had a great day at Grand Pines, and we look forward to seeing you at our Summer BBQ next week.”

And with that, on to our big winners….
