Biographical history
The Amalgamated Construction Association of British Columbia (ACA) held its first directors' meeting on June 13, 1966, bringing together the following organizations: the Victoria Building Industries Exchange; the Vancouver General Contractors Association; the Heavy Construction Association of British Columbia; and the Vancouver Construction Association. The main purpose of the Association was to represent the interests of various sectors of the construction industry in B.C., and as such it was responsible for various forms of arbitration; member benefits; administration of a central bid depository; education; review of legislation; liaison with government agencies; and other related functions. The Association was divided into three main divisions: general contractors; trade contractors; and manufacturers and suppliers. Each of these had its own board of directors, from which were selected the directors for the main board of the Association. The name of the organization was changed to the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) in November, 1999.
