Sponsorship Never Looked So Engaging!
|
Imagine: Good moods, sunshine, green grass, and the opportunity to interact face-to-face with prospects and clients in a fun, safe, casual environment! After 16 months of Zoom, it’s time for in-person networking and business building.
Only 10 sponsorships remain! Some of the remaining sponsorships provide the opportunity to connect with your audience and showcase your product or service from your booth or our Registration table at this sold-out event. Plus, you’ll stay top of mind with your logo and company highlighted through MCABC social media, website and — for Ace sponsors — in the MCABC enewsletter.
Your logo and company link will be visible to thousands of social media followers (700+ Tw, 400+ FB, 2000+ LinkedIn), 700+ enewsletter subscribers, 850 active MCABC members and other construction industry enthusiasts.
Sponsorship has never looked so engaging!

Learn More about MCABC's Ashling Diamond
Collaborating with Sarah and the rest of the team to deliver member value is Ashling Diamond, MCABC’s Office Administrator.

Step 3 of BC’s Restart:
Communicable Disease Prevention
|
Be in tandem with Step 3 – if you haven’t already taken the step, be sure to learn how to transition from COVID-19 Safety Plans to communicable disease prevention, which was effective July 1 and includes a focus on both ongoing and additional measures.
To assist employers in the fundamental components of communicable disease prevention, WorkSafeBC has developed Communicable Disease Prevention: A Guide for Employers. This guide describes a four-step process to help employers reduce the risk of communicable disease in their workplace.
Important
The Provincial Health Officer’s statement recommended that employers maintain some of their existing COVID-19 Safety Plan protocols, specifically those that do not negatively impact business operations. This may include barriers already erected in the workplace or directional signage to reduce points of congestion, as examples. Continuing with the protocols will allow for a transitional period and progression from COVID-19 Safety Plans to communicable disease plans. |
