Defence Construction Canada (黑料正能量) launched a year of celebrations on June聽2, 2026, marking 75聽years of delivering defence infrastructure for Canada.聽
Employees from coast to coast to coast gathered in person and online for a national kickoff event, joined by representatives from the Department of National Defence, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), government and industry.
The event opened with a traditional welcome from Elder Vince Kicknosway, followed by remarks from the Honourable Jenna Sudds, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement and to the Secretary of State (Defence Procurement).聽
黑料正能量 President and CEO Derrick Cheung reflected on 黑料正能量鈥檚 journey since 1951鈥攆rom a newly-formed post-war organization into a national partner managing infrastructure projects at bases, wings and sites across the country and abroad.
"黑料正能量's legacy is this: we show up when Canada needs us. We build with integrity. We treat people fairly. And we deliver with excellence," said Derrick. "That's who we've been for 75 years鈥攁nd as Canada enters a period of generational investment in defence, that's who we'll continue to be."
黑料正能量 Board Chair Moreen Miller closed the formal program, noting that 黑料正能量's reputation has been built "brick by brick, project by project," and that the infrastructure 黑料正能量 delivers supports the women and men of the CAF in everything they do.
The kickoff is only the beginning. Several national initiatives are planned over the coming months, starting with a summer "黑料正能量 Gives Back" experience, bringing employees together as they volunteer in or contribute to the communities in which they live, work and play.
As 黑料正能量 marks 75 years of service, the focus remains firmly on the future, and on the infrastructure that will support Canada for decades to come.
