Introducing the Legacy Builders NEXTGen Committee
The construction industry is at a turning point.
Across every region, we’re facing the same challenge: a growing workforce gap and a need for stronger connections between industry, education, and community.
At Legacy Builders, we’ve always believed the solution isn’t one organization, one program, or one idea. It’s people.
People who care. People who show up. People who are willing to build something bigger than themselves.
That’s why we’re proud to introduce the Legacy Builders NEXTGen Committee.
What is NEXTGen?
NEXTGen is a new initiative designed to bring together passionate individuals from across the construction industry and beyond — all with a shared goal:
To strengthen our workforce by building meaningful relationships and creating real opportunities.
This committee will focus on:
Hosting high-quality networking events that actually connect people
Creating new ideas and initiatives to support workforce development
Supporting school-based programming and student engagement
Bringing together industry leaders, educators, parents, and future tradespeople
Expanding Legacy Builders into new communities and regions
At its core, NEXTGen is about connection with purpose.
Why This Matters
We don’t have a talent problem — we have a connection problem.
Too many young people don’t know the opportunities available in construction. Too many companies are struggling to find skilled, motivated workers. Too many conversations are happening in silos instead of together.
NEXTGen exists to change that.
By creating spaces where people can connect — authentically and consistently — we can start to bridge the gap between industry and the next generation.
Built on Access
Not Barriers
One of the most important things to know about NEXTGen:
There are zero membership fees.
No cost to join.
Because if we’re serious about solving workforce challenges, access matters.
We want the best ideas, the most passionate people, and the strongest voices at the table — not just those who can afford to be there.
Who Should Get Involved?
If you care about the future of construction, there’s a place for you here.
We’re bringing together individuals from across:
Niagara • KW/Cambridge • Toronto (GTA) • Hamilton/Halton • London/Woodstock • and beyond
There is no age restriction, and all experience levels are welcome and encouraged.
Whether you’re a builder, supplier, educator, student supporter, or industry advocate — your perspective matters.
