Our Top 10 under 40 program is back and ready to recognize!

February 1, 2018  By  Andrew Snook


February 2, 2018 – We’re back at it again.

Rock to Road Magazine is looking to recognize Canada’s best young workers in the aggregates and roadbuilding industries. And that means our Top 10 under 40 program is back!

Building on the success of last year’s contest, which recognized 10 outstanding individuals who had made significant contributions to the industry before their 40th birthdays, this year’s contest will acknowledge another 10 additional individuals from across Canada.

This year’s Top 10 under 40 will involve anyone who was under the age of 40 as of December 31, 2017.
