Recap: YCL 2022 Pub Night at Belfast Love
|
|
On the evening of Thursday, November 10, 2022, after a long three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the TCA Young Construction Leaders (YCL) Committee was excited to be back hosting its annual pub night event. The sold-out event took place at a new location Belfast Love Public House, in the downtown Toronto area, with an incredible turnout of two hundred and twenty young construction professionals.
The attendees had a marvelous time reconnecting with other young industry professionals and socializing over drinks. They enjoyed all the delicious appetizers and a great mix of old to latest hits played by the Dj.
A huge thank you to all who partook in this amazing experience, and a special thank you to our fantastic sponsors for your continued support.
We look forward to hosting you all again next year!

Rehabilitated runway reopens at Pearson Airport
After an eight-month rehabilitation, Runway 06L/24R, the second busiest runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport, has reopened.
The announcement was made by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), operator of Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The project is one of the largest in Pearson’s history and required careful planning and co-ordination, which began over a year-and-a-half ago.
The three-kilometre runway was first built in the 1960s. It needed to be fully reconstructed due to the wearing down of its concrete sub-structure as a result of weather, use and time.
The project extends the life of the runway by 30 years and enhances the safety of Pearson’s operations, a release reads.
The rehabilitation included several sustainability measures including:
- Crushing and reusing concrete from the original runway for the new runway;
- upgrading 1,800 incandescent lights to LED lights to help reduce Pearson’s carbon footprint and lower maintenance costs;
- constructing an onsite batch plant reduced the need to truck concrete to the rehabilitation site and reduced GHG emissions; and
- two of only three 12-foot pavers in existence in Canada were used for the rehabilitation, helping to reduce the overall timeline of the project and associated emissions.
Owner: The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA)
Project value: $80 million
