Hamish Stewart, Executive Secretary Treasurer of the UBC National Construction Council, added, "We hold this relationship precious and are delighted to see the success we have achieved in British Columbia now taking a national direction to support projects across Canada. This collaboration will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the construction industry as a whole."

Charles Ellison, President of Kirk Erectors, expressed his enthusiasm for the relationship, saying, "We are excited to invest in the community and join forces with the National Construction Council and the UBC in order to work with others that share our values of safety, opportunity, comradery, excellence, and performance.
