The National Association of Social Enterprise Contractors (NASEC) is a national coalition of trades-based social enterprises working together to Build Canada Better — through contributing to construction projects that deliver high-quality results and lasting community impact.

Our members combine construction excellence with a commitment to inclusion. By employing and training individuals who have faced barriers to work, NASEC members demonstrate that normal spending can also create opportunity, build skills, and strengthen local economies.

We work in partnership with government, developers, and institutions to make social procurement a practical tool for community development and getting enhanced value.
