On location: CCA rolls cameras on cross-country docuseries of major builds

OTTAWA – A national docuseries is in the works so that Canadians can get a behind-the-scenes firsthand perspective on what it takes to bring major projects to life.

The Canadian ion Association (CCA) announced its ion for Canadians Tour, which is set to begin filming in June, during its annual conference in San Diego.

It will include a 12-week cross-country tour, across 10 provinces and visiting 21 stops at active construction sites and recently completed landmark projects alongside local elected officials and industry leaders, states a release.

It will culminate in an 11-episode series.

“Canada has set bold goals for housing and infrastructure delivery,” said Rodrigue Gilbert, president of CCA, in a statement. “While construction is central to the homes, roads, hospitals and public infrastructure Canadians rely on every day, much of the work that goes into delivering these projects happens out of sight. This series is about opening the door and showing Canadians the incredible effort, co-ordination and skilled talent required to build our country.”

The series will feature direct engagement onsite and candid conversations. It will also share industry insights and openly address common myths about construction, while highlighting the complexity, skilled expertise and significant investment required to deliver the infrastructure Canadians depend on every day, the release adds.

“The success of Canada’s construction sector depends on strong collaboration across the industry and with communities,” said Gilbert. “ion is often misunderstood. People see the final result but not the planning, technology, skilled trades and teamwork required to get there.”

Full details of the ion for Canadians Tour, including scheduled stops, will be released in the coming weeks.
