This annual break, enshrined in the collective agreements, is obligatory for the construction industry as a whole, in all sectors. However, there are exceptions to the summer holiday, including a large part of the work on civil engineering and roads. In addition, emergency work, repairs, maintenance, renovations, and modifications may continue. In total, about 80% of the workforce, employees and employers, is on vacation during these two weeks.<\/p>\n

A high volume of activity again this year <\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2023, activity on construction sites once again rose above 200 million hours worked. Because of this, the number of employees has remained stable at 197,179, and 27,606 employers are active in the industry. In this context, the need for workers in the trades and occupations will remain high.<\/p>\n

Professional prospects are therefore excellent for construction employees as a whole, and the issue of recruitment is once again a core challenge for the industry. It is anticipated that the volume of hours will stay above 200 million until 2028, which sets the annual need for 17,000 new workers on the market for the next four years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter more than fifty years, this summer pause remains tradition that stretches well beyond the construction industry,\u201d stated Audrey Murray, CEO of the CCQ. \u201cIt marks a well-deserved break for more than a quarter of the workforce in Qu\u00e9bec and has good economic benefits, especially for the tourism industry. I would like to wish the construction workers and contractors, mainly in the commercial, institutional, industrial, and residential sectors, an excellent vacation and remind them to be safe in their activities and on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n
