There’s a lot to be thankful for.

In Saskatchewan’s concrete industry, we’re surrounded by people who work hard, take pride in what they do, and understand the value of showing up for one another.

Behind every business, every project, and every success are people who put in the work to make it happen.

At Concrete Sask, we’re grateful for the relationships we’ve built, the businesses we’re proud to represent, and the people who make this industry one we’re proud to be part of.

This Thanksgiving, we hope you find some time to step away from the busy days, enjoy the company of family and friends, and appreciate everything you’ve worked hard for.

From our Concrete Sask family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

Two more sponsors are on board for our World of Concrete 2027 events! 🙌

☕ Coffee & Breakfast Sponsor: Koncrete Construction Group

A huge thank you to both for supporting these events!

We still have a couple sponsorship opportunities left, and every sponsorship dollar goes directly back into the events to help keep costs as low as possible for attendees. Concrete Sask is not making a profit from this event.

🏒 Hockey update: We’re currently sitting at around 60 people interested in the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Edmonton Oilers game!

We have two VIP options available and one requires us to meet a minimum number of attendees. We’re currently finalizing interest so we can make that decision and secure the best option for the group.

Tickets will include:
🎟️ Game ticket
🍽️ Food
🍺 Unlimited alcoholic beverages for 3 hours

👀If you’re thinking about joining us, please contact Ashley ASAP. Tickets will be purchased soon and will be available on a first come, first served basis.

Temperatures are dropping across Saskatchewan, it’s important to remember that temperature plays a major role in how concrete develops strength.

Concrete gains strength through hydration, the chemical reaction between cement & water and temperature has a major impact on how quickly that reaction happens.

🌡️ 10°C and above: favourable conditions for curing and strength development
🌡️ Below 10°C: hydration and strength gain begin to slow
🌡️ Below about 5°C: the reaction slows significantly

In other words… the colder the concrete gets, the sleepier it gets 😴

❄️ Fresh concrete can freeze at approximately -4°C and if that happens before adequate strength has developed, permanent strength and durability loss can occur.

Cold-weather concreting isn’t just about the temperature at the time of placement. The conditions after the truck leaves matter just as much.

Proper planning may include:
✔️ Insulating blankets
✔️ Supplemental heat
✔️ Protection from the elements
✔️ Temperature monitoring

The goal on site: keep the concrete in the right conditions long enough to continue curing and gaining strength.

Today, Concrete Sask joins Canadians across the country in recognizing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.

We honour the children who never came home, the Survivors who did, and the families and communities who continue to carry the impacts of residential schools.

Today is an opportunity to listen, learn and reflect but reconciliation is something we all have a responsibility to carry forward.

Read. Listen. Ask questions. Support Indigenous voices, businesses, organizations and communities.

Small actions matter when they lead to greater understanding and lasting change.

🧡 Every Child Matters

🧂 You Don’t Put De-Icing Salt on Your Driveway?

Your vehicle might 👀

All winter, salty snow and slush from treated roads stick to your tires, wheel wells and undercarriage.

Then you come home, park, and it melts.

Now those chlorides are sitting on your driveway or garage floor often in the exact same spots, over and over again.

Concrete is porous and repeated exposure to moisture, chlorides and Saskatchewan’s freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to scaling and deterioration over time.

👀 Ever notice darker or worn tracks running down a concrete driveway?

Look where they are…
Right where the tires travel.

Those marks aren’t always chloride damage, but they show exactly where salty winter meltwater is being deposited again and again.

You may never sprinkle de-icing salt on your driveway, but your vehicle can bring it home every day🚗🧂

Protect your concrete now before winter gets to it.
