No pages were left unturned :) Our GB Calgary team was joined by the next generation of leaders from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) construction management program for a guided tour of one of our construction sites. Led by Ramy Swaidan, Muhammad Huzifa, LEED® Green Associate, and Phil Disney, the shift from the classroom to the field provided an opportunity to hear first-hand from our project and site management professionals. The tour sparked some candid discussion of how theory is put into practice to problem solve and think creatively to deliver spaces that make an impact. #SAIT #Calgary #Construction #BuildingtheFuture #CorporateInteriors

This wasn’t our first rodeo…it was our sixth! On October 10th, our incredible community came together and dusted off our boots and rode on over to The Phoenix for a rootin’-tootin’ night of country tunes and opportunity to give back…BIG. Our hats are off to our generous sponsors and industry partners for your support in making Cureapalooza Volume 6 a major success. Collectively, we donated $65,000 to Make-A-Wish Canada and The Stop Community Food Centre, harnessing the power of our community to support two organizations that work tirelessly to wrangle so much hope and joy. Special thanks to The Phoenix Concert Theatre and TPH for hitching your wagon to the Cureapalooza star year in and year out. We couldn’t do it without you!

GB put the pedal to the metal, working (out) with our industry partners in support of JDRF/FRDJ Canada's Toronto Real Estate Ride. No strangers to working together to achieve a common goal, the day was proof that good things happen when 100% commitment is cycled in with teamwork! #GBGivingBack #CommunityPartnerships #WeBuildDifferently

When the City of Burlington was looking to modernize their City Hall, which had not been updated since 1985, they thought local and engaged our Kitchener-Waterloo office through a competitive bidding process. Our team went to town on devising a logistics strategy that would keep the building operational throughout construction—quite the feat given that they had to build a structural bridge in the open atrium. #SWOntario #Construction #WeBuildDifferently

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. That’s Raymond. Beginning his journey over 45 years ago as an Estimator, Raymond’s developed a multi-disciplinary expertise that’s been essential to realizing many of the Prairies’ most significant builds. But while his project list is long, the indelible impact he’s made on our industry is better measured by the those he’s mentored. Over the 12 years he’s been with GB, Ray has helped grow our most junior team members into senior leadership roles and he continues to inspire this next generation of talent. We’re thrilled by his promotion to Senior Director of Operations, Western Canada, which will include oversight of our Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver offices, and we are excited to see what new achievements await him on this new horizon. Congratulations, Raymond! #GBPromotions #Construction #WeBuildDifferently

Today, September 30th, we honour the survivors of residential schools while remembering the children who never returned home. As we reflect on this painful history, we take it as our collective responsibility to listen to Indigenous voices, re-educate ourselves about our country’s past, and make sure Every Child Matters. #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #NDTR #TruthAndReconciliation

This past week marked Construction Suicide Prevention Week, a week dedicated to having open and honest conversations that aim to build a system of support. With workers in our industry facing unique challenges that put them at increased risk, it’s critical that we extend the same care and consideration to our team’s mental health as we would their physical wellbeing.              #CSPW2024 #MentalHealth #WeBuildDifferently
