MBABC Newsletter

MBABC NEWSLETTER

The Modular Building Association of British Columbia publishes a newsletter twice yearly (Spring and Fall) in which we report on the activities of the Association and of any members who wish to submit material to us for inclusion. Some back issues are available here.

This newsletter is circulated to many companies in industries related to modular construction, as well as to school districts, municipalities, selected provincial government offices, native groups and an ever-growing database of similar entities.

All MBABC members are encouraged to submit material on their recent activities for publication in our newsletter. Please contact the Association Administrator to submit material or if you have any questions about our newsletter.

Past issues of the newsletter are presented here as PDF files, viewed and printed using Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded free from the Adobe site.
