On January 14, 2026 the OCAA hosted Clive Thurston, Glenn Ackerley, and Kathleen Gregus to speak about the changes to the Construction act implemented January 1, 2026.

Ontario’s construction legal framework is undergoing its most significant evolution since 2017. With the passage of Bill 60, the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025, critical changes are set to redefine how holdback, lien rights, and adjudication function across the province. This presentation provided an essential roadmap for construction companies to navigate these looming shifts and ensure their business practices remain compliant and protected.
