As an industry
voice through local, provincial, and national committees,
as well as task forces, one of the primary roles
of the Southern Interior Construction Association
is to foster an environment that creates a fair
and equitable tendering process and overall business
practices. Much of what SICA does influences policy
and practice in the construction industry.
If you
have any questions or comments about SICA's government
involvement, please email info@sica.bc.ca.
