An initiative that recognizes the teams’ contribution and reinforces the company’s culture of engagement.

Gatineau, July 2, 2026 — Last Friday, BBL Construction brought together its approximately 80 employees to mark an important occasion: the distribution of over half a million dollars as part of its profit-sharing program.

Introduced to recognize the teams’ contribution to BBL’s growth, this initiative reflects a deeply held belief within the company: collective success must also benefit those who contribute to it.

For Sylvain Bertrand, President of BBL Construction, profit-sharing had to be more than just a financial gesture. By introducing this program, he wanted to recognize the people who contribute to BBL’s development on a daily basis — through their work, their ideas, and their commitment.

Recognized for its active role in the community, BBL has been involved for several years in projects and organizations that have a tangible impact in the Outaouais region. Over the past three years, its teams have completed more than 10,000 hours of volunteer work. This culture of commitment is also reflected internally, among the employees who drive projects, client relationships, and ways of working forward.

Beyond attracting talent and retaining staff, profit-sharing sends a clear message: every individual contributes to solutions and has a say in BBL’s development.

Since its launch three years ago, the program has paid out over $1.3 million to employees, both on site and in the office.

Key Facts

The program was launched in 2023.
It allows a share of the company’s profits to be distributed based on revenue generated.
- The bonus is paid out over a three-year period, an approach designed to promote employee retention and support the development of a strong foundation within the company.
- Employees can choose to receive their bonus in their pay or invest it in their RRSP or group VRSP to support their retirement savings.
The program forms part of a broader commitment to recognizing employees’ dedication and encouraging them to play a role in BBL’s long-term development.
