On Saturday, Nov 28, VRBA announced the Gold winners for our first online 2020 Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence (CARE) Awards of Vancouver Island.
The 29th Annual CARE Awards event showcased 37 categories hosted by CFAX’s Al Ferraby, and was attended virtually by finalists and the public at www.cfax1070.com and www.ctvnewsvi.ca.
Here are some of the many notable winners:

Project of the Year-Multi-Family went to Abstract Developments for Black and White.
The popular People’s Choice Award was won by Made to Last Custom Homes for Mountaincalm.
The event is as much about celebrating skilled people in the industry as showcasing outstanding home projects.
The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Rob Parsons, R. Parsons Construction Ltd for leadership in award-winning construction.
Best Heritage Project went to MacMinn Contracting for Ross Bay, revitalizing our community heritage.
