STATISTICS CANADA DEFINITION
What is this industry sector?
Below we show this sector’s three subsectors (3-digit level), as well as the 4-digit level Industry Groups that will be explored in this report.
SECTOR STRUCTURE
This sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in constructing, repairing and renovating buildings and engineering works, and in subdividing and developing land. These establishments may operate on their own account or under contract to other establishments or property owners. They may produce complete projects or just parts of projects. Establishments often subcontract some or all of the work involved in a project, or work together in joint ventures. Establishments may produce new construction, or undertake repairs and renovations to existing structures. There are substantial differences in the types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputs required by establishments in this sector. To highlight these differences and variations in the underlying production functions, this sector is divided into three subsectors. Establishments are distinguished initially between those that undertake projects that require several different construction activities (known as trades) to be performed (NAICS 236 and 237), and establishments that specialize in one trade (NAICS 238). A significant amount of construction work is performed by enterprises that are primarily engaged in some business other than construction, for these enterprises’ own use, using employees and equipment of the enterprise. This activity is not included in the construction sector unless the construction work performed is the primary activity of a separate establishment of the enterprise. However, if separate establishments do exist, they are classified in the construction sector.
• 236 - Construction of buildings • 237 - Heavy and civil engineering construction• 238 - Specialty trade contractors

Continuing the trend of recent infrastructure spending, the City of Ottawa decided to continue its ambitious LRT project with the approval of its Stage 2 motion, which will see the extension of the Trillium and Confederation lines at the cost of $4.66B. A scarcity in skilled labour helped to exacerbate the size of this bloated figure, but the project provides an optimism to grow Ottawa’s construction industry.
February 26, 2019 CBC News
A Community Improvement Plan for the revitalization of the Vanier area was developed by the City of Ottawa, as part of a continued effort at stimulating urban renewal and promoting economic growth within the neighbourhood. The strategy will incentivize local business owners to contribute towards redevelopment efforts of lands and buildings by way of tax grants.
March 20, 2019 City of Ottawa
The construction industry’s loss of 2,500 jobs in March helped offset gains in what was otherwise a promising month for the Ottawa-Gatineau labour market, as it finished the first quarter with an unemployment rate of 5.1%.
April 5, 2019 Ottawa Business Journal
The City of Ottawa committed to revitalizing Elgin Street with a $36M reconstruction project, providing infrastructure and streetscaping upgrades. While the work (which is expected to be completed sometime in the fall of 2020) will provide a temporary pain to local residents due to increased traffic, the benefits of the project are reflected in the City’s commitment to Ottawa’s construction sector.
