Construction Sector
Imagine waking up in a cottage, surrounded by wind-swept pines over the water: Northern Ontario cottages draw in visitors and residents alike and construction and real estate firms are rising to meet this demand.
Parry Sound’s natural beauty was the inspiration for The Group of Seven, making it prime Cottage Country (Ontario). In Parry Sound District, construction firms are the most dominant industry, with more than 21.3% of the workforce employed in trades, followed by real estate.

Canada’s construction industry contributes close to seven percent of Canada’s GDP, that it employs over 1.3 million Canadians, (1 in every 14 working Canadians), or that it is, in fact the fifth largest construction market in the world. The construction industry has been experiencing unprecedented activity for some time now spurred by resource/commodity-based projects, large transportation projects, and the pressing need to restore and expand Canada’s aging public infrastructure. Total construction investment in Canada in 2014 is projected to be over $300 billion. Just a decade ago that figure was almost half, at $154 billion.
