Minister’s Infrastructure Awards

Nominate government facilities projects that demonstrate outstanding performance in design, construction, environment and equality.

Overview

The Minister’s Infrastructure Awards recognize outstanding learning, health and government facilities that demonstrate outstanding performance in design, construction, environment and equality.

The awards celebrate those who spark innovation in vertical infrastructure and honour the work being done to:

  • improve our communities
  • drive economic growth
  • shape a brighter future for our province

These prestigious awards are part of the Ministry of Infrastructure’s commitment to ongoing partnerships with the design and contractor industries within Alberta who support the successful implementation of numerous design and construction projects throughout the province.

The awards will be presented on November 5, 2025, at the 2025 Infrastructure Partners Conference banquet, at the Edmonton Convention Centre.
