Living our purpose by giving back to the community.
We believe in the strength of community. Without the support of our community, friends and families, collaborators, and industry peers, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Throughout our years working to Build a Better World, we’ve learned the importance of giving back. We promote Corporate Social Responsibility, a business approach that contributes to sustainable development by delivering economic, social, and environmental benefits for all. We focus our efforts on collaboration, reciprocity, and creating win-win scenarios to foster an environment of mutual understanding, growth, and fulfillment. We are proud to give back to the community that has helped shape who we are.

It is our honour to share that Westcor has been chosen by the Canadian Construction Association as the 2019 National Community Leader Award winner. We would like to thank our employees, business partners, and community partners that helped make this Award possible and who continue to be of service to the community and those in need.
Giving back to the community that has helped shape who we are has been a core value of ours since our inception. When we take care of each other, a foundation is built that allows us, as a team, to take care of our community. This is what Building a Better Community is all about.
We are excited. Click here to check out the virtual award presentation and acceptance video!
