Thank You to the Partners Building the Future of Construction
Legacy Builders was created with a clear mission: to inspire students to explore the many rewarding career pathways within the construction industry. From skilled trades and project management to design, supply chain, finance, and marketing, construction is a sector full of opportunity, and none of this work is possible without the support of industry leaders who believe in giving back.
Today, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank the organizations that make Legacy Builders possible. Their commitment, leadership, and generosity help us bring meaningful, hands-on experiences into classrooms across Ontario.
