KELOWNA – Emil Anderson Group of Kelowna was named a Builders Code Champion Award Winner by the British Columbia Construction Association as part of its launch for April’s Construction and Skilled Trades Month in the province.

Other Champion Award winners include Green Island Builders of Victoria as Workplace Culture Champion (Small-medium size company), KJ Controls Ltd. of Nanaimo as Community Champion (Small-medium size company), and Northern Legendary Construction Ltd. of Fort St. John as Initiate of the Year.
“We want to extend a special thank you to all the hard-working individuals who make BC’s construction industry the powerhouse it is,” says BCCA President Chris Atchison “This month, and every month, we celebrate the incredible efforts of the businesses and builders who make the development and growth of our province possible.”
April, chosen for Construction and Skilled Trades Month, is when the industry takes an opportunity to recognize their achievements, starting with the BCCA Builders Code 2025 Champion Award Winners, recognized for making a positive difference in advancing the culture of BC’s construction industry.
April is Construction & Skilled Trades Month in BC. Officially proclaimed by the BC provincial government and now in its 8th year, Construction Month is a time when British Columbia’s construction industry celebrates the hard work and commitment of the 28,000-plus businesses and over 250,000 British Columbians who work in every community.
“BCCA is committed to continuing to advocate for this sector and calling on the provincial government to support construction across BC,” adds Atchison, “We encourage the provincial government to celebrate Construction & Skilled Trades Month by taking the necessary actions to stand up for this industry.”
BCCA’s regional partners are the Northern Regional Construction Association, Southern Interior Construction Association, Vancouver Island Construction Association and the Vancouver Regional Construction Association.
