ACCA's Founding President is stepping down as his term limit expires. It’s Founding President, Stephen Callender will hand the reins of the organisation to a new President as his term limits expires.

Along the way, the Association has laid down a marker as the pre-eminent Associations for Black Contractors primarily in the GTA and across Canada. It has met with success in advocacy for its members and Black contractors as a whole, raising awareness of the issue of systemic challenges they face in the construction sector.

Applications Are Open for Project Ascend — Don't Miss Your Spot
Apply now and secure your seat for the 2026 cohort: https://l3rvfel1f9n.typeform.com/Estimating2026
Are you a BIPOC contractor, trades professional, journeyperson, or construction entrepreneur looking to sharpen your estimating and bidding skills? ACCA's Project Ascend Estimating & Bidding Course is back for 2026 — and seats are limited.
This hybrid program runs Saturdays from September 12 to November 21, combining in-person workshops with online sessions. You'll cover everything from estimating fundamentals and quantity take-offs to bid documents, labour costs, mechanical systems, and a full simulated bid capstone. The cohort wraps up with a Speed Mentorship & Networking session where participants can connect with peers from their cohort and industry contacts, which can lead to subcontracting opportunities, referrals, or future collaborations.
Both beginner and advanced streams are available, so whether you're just starting out or looking to expand to bid on commercial projects, there's a place for you. Past participants say the course gave them the technical foundation and confidence to compete for bigger opportunities, and we want the same for you.
