About the CHBA Association Leadership Awards

Each year, the Canadian Home Builders’ Association recognizes the outstanding work of dedicated volunteer members – as well as the leadership shown by our local and provincial HBAs and their EOs – through its national Association Leadership Awards Program.

HBAs and members work hard all year to build a strong community: members generously volunteer their time and association staff work tirelessly. Not just to strengthen our association at all three levels, but also to give back to the cities, towns, and neighbourhoods across Canada.

As an association, we are proud of our accomplishments and the professionalism of our industry. It's important that we take full advantage of every opportunity promote our achievements and to give accolades to the leaders that ensure our association is recognized as the voice of Canada's residential construction industry!
