Sometimes we need advice, and we don't know where to find it. While MCAS staff are available to the membership, often a contractor simply needs to talk to another contractor. There is a wealth of knowledge available within our membership, but it needs to be accessible.
The solution: MCAS Peer-to-Peer Program
The concept is simple: Provide a platform for members to seek the advice of other members.
Connecting is easy: Review the profiles of the available peers and reach out either via phone or email.
Confidential: All conversations are kept confidential.

Why not Volunteer?
Let's face it: you probably have already had experience giving advice to a fellow contractor. A conversation on the golf course or over a drink at our curling bonspiel. We want to provide additional opportunities for our members to connect.
As a member of the peer to peer network you provide:
- Advice: Your experience can provide answers to questions and suggestions that can make a big difference when it comes to navigating the construction industry.
- Perspective: Because of your experience you can provide context and perspectives that were not previously considered.
- Networking: You have valuable connections in the province. Networking is vital for success in the construction industry in Saskatchewan.
