The Northwest Territories Construction Association (NWTCA) is a non-profit organization that represents almost 200 companies from the northern construction industry. Its members are contractors, architects, engineers, project managers, suppliers, and manufacturers. The NWTCA keeps NWT and Nunavut construction industry employers and workers up-to-date; everything from new job tenders and Request for Proposals opportunities to current issues and events are published in its weekly newsletter.
The NWTCA keeps northern construction industry employers and workers up-to-date and supports its members by:
- maintaining a plans room, where members can review tender plans and specifications to help prepare bids;
- distributing standard construction documents, such as contracts and industry best-practice guides published by the Canadian Construction Documents Committee and the Canadian Construction Association; and
- creating and distributing a weekly newsletter about current events, contract opportunities, and safety-related issues.
