ach year, the Canadian Home Builders’ Association recognizes the outstanding work of dedicated volunteer members – as well as the leadership shown by our local and provincial Home Builders Associations (HBAs) and their executive officers – through its national Association Leadership Awards Program. HBAs and members work hard all year to build a strong community: members generously volunteer their time and association staff work tirelessly. Not just to strengthen our association at all three levels, but also to give back to the cities, towns, and neighbourhoods across Canada. As an Association, we are proud of our accomplishments and the professionalism of our industry.

MEMBER OF THE YEAR – DOUG TARRY Not only is this year’s recipient a solid contributor to the association, he is recognized by all who meet him as an all-around wonderful person. He contributes actively to national and committee/council work and discussions, humbly shares his own failures and successes so that others can learn, and speaks up about important issues – even when it may be easier to stay quiet. Tarry is passionate about building science and has been instrumental in drawing the Association’s attention to many technical issues. One of the founding members of CHBA’s Net Zero Council, he believes in working together and sharing information so that we can keep building better homes.
