The Northern Regional Construction Association (NRCA) is an industrial, commercial, and institutional sector association serving 120 members across northern British Columbia. As a key advocate for the construction industry in the region, NRCA provides education, training, and support to ensure that its members can build safer and more efficiently.Â
One of NRCA’s primary pillars is education, which is why the association has prioritized partnerships with organizations like BIS Safety Software.Â
“One of our big pillars is education, and partnering with BIS allows us to provide members with safety courses that are accessible when they need them.“
Kayla Hearn Manager, Operations and Communications
Strengthening Safety & Industry Growth
Founded in the 1960s, NRCA originally served as a community hub, providing plan rooms where members could review construction documents. Over time, the association’s role evolved significantly to include:Â
- Education and Training – Offering a range of construction safety courses to meet industry demands.Â
- Community Building – Strengthening professional connections and fostering collaboration among members.Â
- Advocacy and Support – Ensuring that northern BC’s construction industry has a voice at the provincial level.Â
As the construction landscape changes, NRCA remains committed to adapting alongside its members, helping them stay ahead of industry requirements and best practices.Â
““One of our original purposes was to act as a community hub, and while we still do that, we’ve evolved to focus on educating the community and keeping them building together.“
Kayla Hearn Manager, Operations and Communications
NRCA is dedicated to uplifting its members and helping them build better. The association operates with a strong regional focus, uniquely serving the needs of construction professionals across northern British Columbia’s vast landscape.Â
Unlike other construction associations in BC, NRCA covers the largest geographical region while being the smallest in membership size. This distinction allows NRCA to provide highly tailored support to its members, ensuring that they receive the resources and training necessary to navigate the specific challenges of northern construction projects.Â
“The North is a really specific community on its own, and navigating the challenges that come with that is what sets us apart from other associations across the province”
