To everyone involved in the Buildex Alberta conference and tradeshow, Thanks for a great event. One of the key presentations for us at Blue Branch was T16: Construction Keynote: Talent Attraction & Retention: Creating a Construction Industry to Compete for Tomorrow's Workforce The construction industry is expecting a 43,000+ labor shortfall by 2032. A province that is expected to grow from 4.6 million to over 5 million as quickly as 2025 needs infrastructure, housing, and a robust construction workforce. We've all felt the pressure of the growth from 4.16 in 2020 to 4.65 in 2023. Alberta needs workers, now more than ever. Blue Branch has a solution, our Super-Commuting Workforce Solution. https://lnkd.in/gfZkGMdD https://lnkd.in/gB3Pk2jU https://lnkd.in/gjY66iZS

We've recently added seven new Key Resource Areas (KRAs) to the 167 current sites in Queensland crucial for our state's development. These locations contain extractive resources like sand, gravel, rock, clay, and soil necessary for construction, infrastructure development and post-disaster recovery. KRAs are an essential planning tool designed to protect these resources from becoming inaccessible due to urban expansion. Queensland produces around 50 million tonnes of the resources annually. The new KRAs, plus extensions to two existing areas, will protect an additional 985 million tonnes for the future, replacing depleted resources and supporting the needs of our growing communities.
