The British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) has announced Anthony Minniti has been elected as board chair for the 2022-2023 term effective immediately.

Based in Victoria, Minniti is the vice-president of Operations for CGI Constructor’s Canadian Operations, where he leads a team of 100 plus non-union and union staff across British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.

Minniti served on the board of directors of the Vancouver Island Regional Construction Association for 10 years, as well as on the BCCA board since 2014. He also served on the boards of the BC Construction Foundation, Saanich Foundation, St. Margaret’s School, and as president of the Cordova Bay Community Association.

“Construction is a strong and resilient industry, and there is no limit to what we can do when we work together. Construction is a driving force in the economy of our province and it is also a noble profession of our communities. No organization understands that better than BCCA, and we are proud to serve all ICI contractors, regardless of labour affiliation, size, or location in the province,” said Minniti.

The association will continue to implement a strategic three-year plan and the role of the chair will continue to be prioritizing collaboration with the four other major B.C. regional construction associations.

“We welcome Anthony to the chair’s role and look forward to his contributions as an experienced, long-time board member. Anthony is fearless when it comes to asking tough questions and challenging the status quo. I’m excited to see what we can achieve together,” added BCCA president Chris Atchison.
