The 2023 VRCA Awards of Excellence Silver Award winners have been announced.
This year, 43 Silver Award winners were selected in 15 project categories. These project-specific awards recognize the VRCA’s finest member companies and feature industrial, commercial, institutional, multi-family residential, and special projects.
Most nominated projects are in the Lower Mainland (some project scope included multiple locations). Entries were also received for projects undertaken by member organizations in Bowen Island, Oliver, Powell River, and Prince George. Submissions include hospital redevelopment and expansions, transit upgrades, public space, and park projects, infrastructure enhancements, and tenant improvements.
“Congratulations to this year’s Silver Award winners!” said newly appointed VRCA president, Jeannine Martin. “I’ve been a fierce competitor in past awards, and I have seen firsthand the pride and excitement participants have when presenting their projects to the judges. Celebrating construction by annually recognizing these achievements and this passion is important to our industry and those who work in it.”
