Winnipeg led major cities in Canada in growth for building permits in 2008
After years of solid building permit and construction activity, Winnipeg’s outlook remains strong with overall building permit values in 2008, growing by 15% to over $1 billion, the best growth rate of major cities in Canada. Building permit value growth was led by the industrial and commercial markets.
Destination Winnipeg tracks projects with permit values exceeding one million dollars and compiles an annual list of construction projects that have been issued a permit.
