To Our Prospective Members:
The Yukon Contractors Association Board of Directors recently decided to reduce the fees for membership in the upcoming year.
This is a pilot program to decide if YCA membership fees are price sensitive, and if it will increase our membership with lower the fees.
Said in another way, 40 members at $750 is better than 20 @ $1,500.
YCA will evaluate this pilot project at the end of 2025 to assess the impact it has had on membership revenues and growth.
YCA has been undertaking important advocacy work over the past year, that affects a broad and diverse range of Yukon contractors and companies. YCA and our sector will benefit from broader participation and support for our advocacy efforts. The Board believes that expanding YCA’s membership would be an effective way to enhance the collection of industry concerns, priorities, and intelligence that will shape our advocacy positions.
Some quick highlights of the current efforts undertaken by YCA, in no particular order
- YCA has built an open and respectful relationship with the senior management team and political leadership at the Yukon Government.
- The Yukon First Nation entities engaged in procurement and the Yukon First Nations Procurement Policy (YFNPP) have invited YCA/industry to their meetings and policy deliberations. W have found common ground on several procurement related issues.
- YCA actively participates as industry representatives on the YFNPP – Monitor and Review Committee. We continue to seek changes to the policy that will mitigate market disruption and promote incentives that will provide measurable benefit to Yukon First Nations as opposed to the current ownership BVR that is being manipulated and abused.
- YCA has been successful in getting YG to reconsider and pause its proposed Vendor Performance Review program. YCA is at the table in an industry leadership role, collaboratively developing a Project Review Program that focuses on improved project delivery by Contractors, Consultants, and the Owner (YG).
- Re-animating our concerns around commercial vehicles and the trucking sector, given the pending changes to the Highways Act.
- Providing feedback and participating in oversight of the Action Plan developed by YG in response to the Auditor General’s Report on YG Procurement.
- Working with YG to reshape its broader approach to procurement.
- Building more efficient and effective digital solutions and programs that will enhance member’s access to advocacy activities, CCDC documents, training, communications, industry intelligence, and networking.
