Celebrating the Builders Behind the Impact
Last night was a reminder of what's possible when an industry comes together with a shared purpose! What started as an idea to help students see the opportunities available in construction has now reached more than 6,000 students across Waterloo Region, AND we're expanding into Halton, Hamilton, Niagara, Woodstock, and London next year.
Why Industry Volunteers Are Essential to Inspiring the Next Generation of Construction Professionals
Legacy Builders is expanding into Halton, Hamilton, Niagara, Woodstock, and London — and we need industry volunteers to help inspire students and introduce them to careers in construction. Learn how you can make an impact in local classrooms.
It’s A Wrap on the 2025/2026 school year!
As the final session of the 2025/2026 school year wrapped up, the entire team at Legacy Builders is taking a moment to reflect on another incredible season of connecting students with opportunities in the skilled trades.
Behind-the-Scenes & Final Steps
Not every important job on a construction site is in the spotlight. Some of the most important roles are the ones that keep everything moving, support the team, and make sure the final product is ready to go.
Celebrating the Builders Behind the Impact: Join Us June 2
On June 2, 2026, Legacy Builders will host its Impact Celebration in Kitchener, Ontario, bringing together industry leaders, sponsors, and volunteers who are helping shape the future workforce in construction and skilled trades.
