ARCA was established in 1961 by a group of Calgary and Edmonton roofing contractors.

The association’s primary objective, then and now, is to develop comprehensive guidelines for roofing product applications to support and advance Alberta’s roofing industry.

ARCA is dedicated to supporting its members (to better serve their employees and customers) through the delivery of comprehensive technical standards, warranty program and safety initiatives and by ensuring the availability of quality education and skill development programs for industry workers.

Education

Education has always been an important part of our mandate at ARCA. We continue to support and promote the Apprenticeship Program in cooperation with NAIT and SAIT, and will carry on funding the tuition for all levels of apprenticeship training.

Now we are pleased to introduce our expanded education program to provide a career path for your roofers. ARCA members and their employees will benefit from the Roofer Certification Program; the cost of it being covered by ARCA for all Contractor Members.
