With over 40 years of construction experience and more than 20 years as a project manager and in senior management, the association explained that Zehr, president of Nith Valley Construction, has been a model for the industry amidst significant challenges.<\/p>\n<p>In presenting the award, the association cited Zehr\u2019s integrity shown as a project manager in general contracting, building relationships and attesting for every industry participant. During the Covid-era market conditions, he showed leadership and demonstrated that everyone deserves to earn money for their company, especially at the mercy of cost escalation.<\/p>\n<p>At his company, he has always led by example, passing along his ethical knowledge of the construction industry and his profound integrity and leaving an impression on the people around him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"EzkBDkDK\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI am so humbled to receive the Jock Tindale Memorial Award. To be acknowledged by other industry leaders for my strong sense of ethics and integrity is a true honour,\u201d he said. \u201cAt Nith Valley, we pride ourselves in having an outstanding reputation in collaborating with owners, consultants and a wide array of sub-trades. Being recognized for this award shows that we can achieve more in the spirit of collaboration and by finding ways to connect rather than focusing on what divides us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zehr also made sure to thank his team. \u201cI would have a hard time accepting this award without acknowledging the people that surround me, without their dedication to what we do this would not be possible. We all work together to share a common goal.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ogca.ca\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u00e5www.ogca.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob Zehr (Photo courtesy of OGCA) The Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA) presented Bob Zehr with the Jock Tindale Memorial &#8230; <a title=\"OGCA recognizes Zehr for contributions to construction industry\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/ogca-recognizes-zehr-for-contributions-to-construction-industry\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about OGCA recognizes Zehr for contributions to construction industry\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":11160,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1066,1085],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-posts","category-onsite-magazine","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
