The Canadian Chinese Construction Association (CCCA) successfully hosted its Summer Networking & Bidding Seminar this afternoon (July 16th) in North York, Toronto, with nearly 150 participants. The event was exclusively sponsored by Addington Development Group, an honorary board member of the CCCA. The event aimed to enhance association members' understanding of large-scale construction projects, familiarize them with bidding procedures to improve their chances of winning bids, capture business opportunities, and provide opportunities for direct involvement in project construction.

The event was generously supported by Addington Development Group, a company with an outstanding track record in construction management. They are about to build a boutique condominium project with nine floors and two underground parking levels, totaling 173 units. To introduce this important construction project to elites in the Canada-China construction industry and to strengthen industry exchange and cooperation, the Canada-China Architectural Association decided to hold a construction bidding presentation and association networking event at the project showroom at 268 Sheppard Ave. W in North York.
