Pride in Construction 2026 - Community Engagement Event
Join us as we continue our journey towards fostering safe and inclusive work environments in the skilled trades and construction industry.
Welcome to Pride in Construction 2026!
From its humble beginnings as a passionate call to action in 2021, Pride in Construction spearheaded a movement to eradicate verbal and psychological abuse endured by members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community on construction sites. Through tireless advocacy, construction site visits, and global media attention, the group flipped the narrative to celebrate individuals, not just their skills.
Attend a keynote address in the morning, visit vendor booths in the afternoon, and chat with organizations that are proud to support a diverse workforce. Additionally, positive partners will be in attendance to show their support.
Let’s come together and discover innovative strategies, hear inspiring stories, and join hands with industry leaders, advocates, and allies as we pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future in construction.
Together, let's not just build structures, but a community where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to thrive.
Don't miss out on this chance to connect with like-minded individuals and show your support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in the Calgary construction industry. Elevate your commitment to diversity and inclusion in the trades by joining us at Pride in Construction. We can't wait to see you there!

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
