TORONTO, Sept. 23, 2022 /CNW/ - Tridel, one of Canada's largest builder of condominium homes, was named Ontario Builder of the Year at the 30th Ontario Home Builders' Association (OHBA) Awards of Distinction ceremony, held in Niagara Falls on Tuesday, September 20th. This milestone marked the sixth time the industry-leading home builder has been awarded the provincial association's highest honour, for its commitment to building sustainable communities, quality, community engagement, and its customers.
The Ontario Builder of the Year Award is presented to a company that demonstrates the highest levels of performance, creativity and ingenuity, based on the areas of sales and marketing excellence, innovation, floor plan design, community service, support of the industry and its ability to remain a market leader.
"It's with great honour and pride that Tridel accepts this award from the OHBA." says Jim Ritchie, President of the Tridel Group of Companies. "For more than eight decades, Tridel has been progressing the boundaries of our industry, advancing the various aspects of our business that make us the best home builder in Ontario. This award recognizes our collective efforts to elevate the architecture and design, construction quality, and sustainability of the communities we build. It also represents our long-standing commitment to the home building industry and the commitment that goes into building thriving, vibrant communities that meet the needs of our residents."

This commitment is reflected in everything the company builds and does, with excellence embedded into all areas of the organization, from community involvement and innovation to social responsibility, design and customer service. Tridel communities are developed with thoughtful design: considering location, how people live in their homes, the evolving lifestyles of its customers, the environment, and much more.
To Tridel, 'Built for Life' extends beyond building quality homes, to contributing to communities and making a lasting, positive impact.

Tridel is also TCHC's developer-partner in three revitalization communities, offering equitable, outcome-based Community Economic Development (CED) opportunities that support the socio-economic integration of vulnerable populations by advancing local programs and resident-led businesses. The company recently launched its Partners in Community (PIC) Program to offer opportunities for training, mentorship, apprenticeship, and employment, and is the first residential developer to include CED & Benefits Schedules into construction tenders and agreements, committing Tridel, its trades, and consultants, to various levels of CED support for the revitalization communities.
As the principal and founding sponsor of the BOLT Foundation, which connects under-resourced youth to education and careers in construction through training and financial awards, Tridel has helped engage 168 youth through career-exploration events, job-shadowing opportunities, and training sessions. BOLT has awarded 500+ scholarships across 27 schools and 40+ programs, totaling $1.6 million.
