CANS hopes that sharing this information will empower our local industry to adapt efficiently and consistently to the growing COVID-19 pandemic.
These practices are flexible, so adjust them as necessary for your needs. The ACA intends to update this document as more information becomes available in the coming weeks.
Whether or not you’re already considering a project suspension, the situation is rapidly evolving. Circumstances may or may not change in the coming days and weeks, so make sure your job site is secure and your work plan is readily adaptable.
With that in mind, the ‘Project Suspension Impact Checklist’ has been designed to provide Industry with an accessible resource that helps tackle the range of issues that current and developing circumstances may present.

Good afternoon CANS members,
To provide information to you and share your concerns with government, CANS will do our very best to provide up-to-date information on the current COVID-19 virus as frequently as necessary through our digital channels.
To that end, we are sharing a survey conducted by the CFIB, which you can access by clicking here.
CANS is also participating in a joint working group with other industry associations, labour leaders and government officials. This group is meeting via conference call every second day for the foreseeable future to share information, gather intelligence and inform policy wherever possible. As your voice to government, I want to hear your ideas, concerns, etc. As such, I encourage you to call, email or text me with issues, questions or possible solutions that you would like taken forward to our government partners.
While our physical office will remain closed at least until Monday, our team is remotely connected and able to provide most services through our digital platforms. We are doing our very best to stay on top of this rapidly evolving situation and communicate effectively with you. Our newsletter, website and social media have several articles, etc. that you may find useful as we navigate this pandemic.
Finally, here is a link to a very useful Harvard Business Review article, Lead Your Business Through the Coronavirus Crisis.
Again, please feel free to communicate additional items that are important to you as a member, particularly those related to COVID-19.
