March 21, 2013
The new chair of the Construction and Design Alliance of Ontario (CDAO) hopes to see the organization become a formal body moving forward, reports Kelly Lapointe in a recent article in the Daily Commercial News. 
“New CDAO chair Clive Thurston, president of the Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA), alluded to a confidential proposal currently in the works that will be the next step for the organization. Members are currently discussing the proposal with their various boards and directors and members will be coming back to the CDAO at its next meeting at the end of March. Basically in broad strokes, the Alliance has been working as a loose, non-registered (entity)...we’ve recognized there are certain risks and things that have come about because of our success and on the advice of legal people and others we talked to, we felt we had to look at taking some new steps to reorganize the Alliance into a more formal body,” he said.
