Ten Years of Megaprojects Just Ended. Now What? | ICBA C&C #20

from ICBA Coffee & Construction · host Jordan Bateman

Site C. Coastal GasLink. Trans Mountain. LNG Canada Phase One. The wave of megaprojects that carried British Columbia for a decade has finished — basically all at once. A second wave is lining up behind it. But lining up isn't the same as starting, and somewhere in between is a stretch where the phone stops ringing. Episode 20 of ICBA Coffee & Construction — the news that matters to the people who build British Columbia and Alberta, with ICBA's Jordan Bateman. A special regional edition: a full sit-down with Mike Davis, ICBA's Vice President, Regional, on the two-thirds of B.C. that gets too little attention from the media and government — Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, the Kootenays, the Interior and the north. In this episode: 🗺️ THE MOOD. Mike tours this province constantly. Are people optimistic or white-knuckling it? 🌲 THE FORESTRY TOWNS. Cranbrook. Vernon. Williams Lake. Prince George. 🚧 WHAT'S QUEUED. The North Coast Transmission Line. LNG Canada Phase 2. Ksi Lisims. Cedar and Woodfibre already under construction. A run of mine permits and expansions. The work is real — the question is when it starts. 🤝 MEET THE GENERALS AND OWNERS, VICTORIA. ICBA's reverse trade show comes to the Victoria Conference Centre on Tuesday, September 15. The general contractors and owners sit behind the tables; everybody else works the room. 1,000 people. 🎟️ Register for ICBA Meet the Generals & Owners — Vancouver Island: https://events.icba.ca/2026Victoria 📊 Get the ICBA Economics briefing — the most helpful email you'll get all week: https://icba.ca/economics
