Construction: A rapidly growing industry

According to the BC Construction Association, 9.2 percent of the BC workforce relies on the construction industry for a paycheck. This amounts to 236,000 people and is higher than any other sector. The number of construction companies in BC is 25,736 – nearly a 1,400-count increase from 2018!
NorLand's virtual cleanup
Body:
Due to recent BC restrictions, NorLand wasn't able to host our usual NorLand Ave. Cleanup this quarter. As a result, we decided to hold a Virtual NorLand Cleanup from April 22 (Earth Day) to April 30! The idea was to get out into your neighborhoods with friends and family, take a couple of bags, and see how you can clean up your own communities. Everyone Goes Home Safe – we made sure everyone proved they were wearing gloves and following safety protocols while participating in their cleanups.

First Quarterly 2021 Street Cleanup for PIM!
Body:
Apex & Pro-Tech (Pacific Industrial Movers) have continued to adopt and clean the streets of Delta this year! This was an initiative started in 2019 to make a difference to business, community, and the environment. Not only do the streets look great, this is a chance for NorLanders to come together and enjoy community, conversation, and food. On March 12, 6:00 am was breakfast time for ALL workers and then the volunteer cleanup kicked off at 7:00 pm.
