The twenty five organized building trade unions (workers) and the signatory contractors (employers) of Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) construction are the grass-root business partners comprising the Ontario Construction Secretariat (OCS). 

Together with representatives from the Provincial Government, we form a tripartite organization intended to enhance the well being of organized ICI construction in Ontario.

The OCS is a facilitator promoting relationships and interactions among its’ component business partners to identify, research and inform regarding issues of common concern, including data to assess current and future construction market trends.

OCS seeks to facilitate an improved competitive position for our partners through upgraded knowledge, direct relations with buyers and owners, an enlightened fact-based public awareness and by encouraging our youth to become respected members of the unionized craft building trades.
