The OGCA Board of Directors deliberate a great deal about poor, and at times utterly ludicrous, tender and contract language that is continually being issued from the public buyers of construction. And just when you believe you have seen the absolute worst set of contract documents ever written, yet another public buyer steps up and demonstrates that they can outdo their peers. I have surmised that in order to reach this level of absurdity, each public procurement group must consciously decide that they know better than any other of their peers and that they know how to best procure construction services.

The OGCA is very excited about the new collaboration that we have with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and their Specialized Trades Exploration Program (STEP) to ICI Construction Program. The STEP to ICI Construction Program allows students to gain hands-on experience in ICI construction while earning their high school diploma. This program has been developed to improve school-to-work transition for high-school students by providing them with the essential skills they need to prepare for future construction careers. This program is a link for employers and potential new youth to enter into construction.

Last week, the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development announced that Ontario's safe employers are receiving a rebate of up to $1.5 billion as Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) surplus funds are returned under the Working for Workers Act, 2021. The rebate will return approximately 30 percent of their annual premium payments in 2019 or 2020, whichever is higher. For a business with 80 to 125 employees, this could mean receiving approximately $28,000 to reinvest in their business and workers.
