About Us
Prince Edward Island Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association is
comprised of companies sharing a common goal -- a strong, effective voice in
the Heavy Construction Industry. The Association's business is guided by a
Board of Directors made up of eight representatives from the Regular Member
category and two representatives from the Associate Member category who meet
monthly and a Manager who maintains the day-to-day operations on behalf of
the membership. We strive to encourage business with our members and promote
functions where members can gather and become acquainted.
The Prince Edward Island Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association
was incorporated in 1962. This Association was formed by the contractors and
the suppliers in order to have an Association that could speak with a united
voice to all levels of government on various concerns. The Association has
been involved in cooperation with the PEI Department of Transportation
Infrastructure & Energy in developing many policies and procedures that are
in existence today. There are many committees that are constantly reviewing
and updating policies and procedures to promote a smoother and better
working atmosphere for both contractors and highway officials.
The PEI Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association considers the
highway system to be the lifeblood of the economy. We must now have a superb
road system to get products to and from the marketplace. These affect the
main source of commerce, i.e., farming, agriculture, fishing, fish-related
products and tourism. Good and safe roads are required for the general
traveling public. We would like to stress the importance of the road
building industry to all residents. The number of people who are employed by
the contractors, the suppliers and services that the contractors require,
the involvement of the private truckers hauling and bring material to and
from the marketplace, and the general amount of money that is left in the
various communities by the employees of the member contractors, etc., are
ways in which this industry affects our economy.
