Good news for Gold Seal
From Construction Comment - September 2006
JAMES RAISWELL, Editor
OTTAWA
When the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) launched its Gold Seal certification in 1993, its aim was to promote and recognize the highest standards of achievement for the industry’s project managers, superintendents and estimators.
At the time, however, the expectation surely must have been that the industry would promote this certification as the standard of choice and that Gold Seal would develop under its own momentum to become a national standard for construction excellence. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, this has not has been the case. Today, recognized Gold Seal Certificate holders across the country number just shy of 6,000 and growth in new holders, while steady, remains slow.
All this, however, may be changing, thanks in part to a motion in the B.C. interior, by the municipalities of Kamloops and Kelowna in particular, to require Gold Seal certification for project managers or site supervisors as a condition of contract for jobs valued at over $2 million (and over $1 million, beginning in January). (A move that mirrors one already in place for certain construction projects administered by the Province of New Brunswick.) Pour en savoir plus (en anglais seulement)
