With Calgary in the midst of a housing crisis, finding people to help build homes is proving difficult for some companies.

The struggle to find skilled workers is being felt across the construction industry, according to Bill Black, president and CEO of the Calgary Construction Association.

“It's been a bit of a challenge,” said Pennoyer. “It's hard to get people with the proper skills and training, as well as somebody who's willing to learn and perform with customer service.” “Five years ago, I'd have 20 resumes within a week, maybe even less , and now it's hard to even get five resumes in a week,” said Pennoyer.
