C O C A 2 0 1 7 Y E A R I N R E V I E W | 5 3 NORTHEASTERN ONTARIO CONSTRUCTION ASSOCIATION Like the buildings our members construct, the Northeastern Ontario Construction Association began with a solid foundation – the skills and experience of local contractors and trades people. Today, nearly 6.5 decades and 48 Past-Presidents later, NOCA is a strong ICI association that has transformed over its 68 year history with the sole intent to accommodate a continually shifting industry. NOCA has grown to represent over 300 contractors, manufacturers & suppliers, service providers, consulting firms, and training and personnel providers from all over the province, supporting members at all levels of the ICI process. NOCA promotes member interests and provides specialized services to help over 300 member companies compete and succeed in today’s ever-changing construction industry. The Board of Directors is chosen in a way that ensures fair representation of all types of construction. NOCA staff – along with the Board of Directors and many volunteers – serve as a collective voice to promote everything from apprenticeship education & training to suitable and desirable legislation, working conditions and wages that affect the industry in all its branches. With the help of COCA, the Northeastern Ontario Construction Association continually improves liaisons with local, provincial and federal government which in turn help to determine comprehensible construction laws for Northern Ontario contractors. Originally called Sudbury Construction Association, the name was officially changed on September 2, 2015, to the Northeastern Ontario Construction Association to properly reflect the vast area of membership that it represents.

The name was changed to support the growing diversity of the membership. The OADC represents over 50 heavy, interior demolition and abatement contractors across Ontario. Our contractors employ approximately 1,000 members of the Labourers’ International Union of North America (LiUNA) under the Demolition Collective Agreement. The primary duties of the OADC are to act as the bargaining agent for the members during negotiations with LiUNA, and to keep the membership informed and engaged surrounding issues that may impact their business. In addition, the OADC plays an active role in participation, along with the Council of Ontario Construction Associations (COCA), in lobbying the provincial government on behalf of the construction industry. Our Mission: OADC supports the interests of our members. We advocate for clear, fair and functional legislation which develops, maintains and sustains a positive and proactive relationship with the Labourers’ International Union of North America and the Ontario Provincial District Council. Our Vision: OADC members adhere to the highest industry standards and are preferred and valued on all demolition and abatement projects. Our Main Objectives include: 1)  Promote the use of OADC contractors. Specifically, every owner, general contractor and municipality knows who the OADC is and wants to work with OADC contractors exclusively. 2)  Every OADC member receives properly trained labour on request from the union.
