Fundamental Leaders of Industrial Construction (FLIC) was initiated in 2018 by the COAA Board as a key element of their strategic goal to assure the sustainability of COAA.
Engagement with younger members is vital in order to attract contemporary perspectives, new ideas and renewed energy into the organization. It is envisaged that FLIC will serve the needs of individuals with approximately 10 to 15 years of industry experience following graduation from post-secondary training or completion of apprenticeship training. The mission of FLIC is to strengthen COAA and our industry by facilitating the development and continual renewal of a network of early to mid-career individuals who are proud of the work they do and the results they deliver; who are passionate about improving our industry and interested in driving progress collaboratively through COAA. This will be accomplished by:
Driving a culture of inclusion and belonging in the heavy construction industry.
Evolve the workplace culture regarding mental and physical health by increasing awareness, providing coping mechanisms, and reducing stigmas around accessing resources.
Organizing FLIC events to allow members to connect in person.
Passing of knowledge from previous generations to mitigate risks by transferring information and experience to current and future generation of workers.
Sharing attitudes, values, and beliefs that promote positive behaviours in our industry.
Understanding and exploring innovative energy transition topics, practices, and projects.
Sharing success stories and innovative practices to learn about new technologies that support our industry.
Sharing knowledge on best practices and lessons learned to improve safety at the frontlines.
Sharing knowledge on best practices and lessons learned to improve productivity at the frontlines.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Construction Owners Association of Alberta recognizes that COAA’s office in Edmonton is located within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We further acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations and we are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
