A unified voice for Canada’s leading unionized maintenance contractors
Supporting members, owners, workers and our industry partners
The Association of Maintenance Contractors of Canada is a group of maintenance contractors working with the GPMC/NMC Collective Agreements taking a collaborative approach to strengthen our industry.
Serving owners, contractors, unions, workers and our industry partners, we also offer a respected voice to discuss industry issues outside the collective bargaining process.
A Discussion Paper by the Independent Advisory Panel, Commissioned by AMCC
Canada’s maintenance industry supports our economy, keeping industrial facilities running, worksites safe, and communities strong. Yet the sector has long faced pressures from fragmentation, workforce instability, and increasing demands on productivity and competitiveness.
Recognizing the need for long-term solutions, the Association of Maintenance Contractors of Canada (AMCC) convened an Advisory Panel in 2024, bringing together owners, contractors, unions, regulators, and training providers from across the country. Over the course of a year, the Panel listened, debated, and shared perspectives to uncover the systemic issues holding the industry back and the opportunities that collaboration can unlock.
The Panel findings show that the way forward rests on building systems based on industry collaboration that replace silos with shared accountability.When stakeholders work together, the sector can unlock the productivity, competitiveness, and workforce strength it needs. Safety is the foundation that sustains this system, and with it the industry can thrive and prosper.
