ACQ

The Association de la construction du Québec (ACQ) was created in May 1989 with the merger of the Fédération de la construction du Québec (FCQ) and the Association de la construction de Montréal et du Québec (ACMQ).

The FCQ, founded in 1947, was a not-for-profit, volunteer multi-sector association. The ACMQ, also a not-for-profit association, was founded in 1897 and was originally called The Montréal Builders Exchange.

Mission

Represent, as management-side bargaining agent, employers working in the institutional-commercial and industrial (IC/I) sectors.
