Statistics Canada data shows that investment in housing construction is declining across Canada in early 2026. The real estate sector has seen significant drops in investment in residential construction year over year. Multi-unit housing construction took the largest drop. And Ontario has seen the largest decrease in investment as well as the actual single-family housing construction starts. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation said new home construction in Canada will continue to decline until 2028, citing high costs for developers, weaker demand and more unsold homes.

Did you miss the CKCA Spring Regional Conference earlier this month? It was a jam-packed conference with a great set of meetings and a total of 7 tours of manufacturers and suppliers operations in southern Ontario. CKCA members had the opportunity to discuss business and informative sessions on everything from the use of technology, to HR issues, to the state of the Canadian economy. There were updates on the action being taken by the association on American tariffs and the unfair trade imports from Asia – and so much more.
