Catherine Cobden, President and CEO of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, joined the Cement Association of Canada on our podcast Speaking Concretely.

The episode covered the recent tariff and trade issues the Canadian steel industry has faced, as well as:

• The industry’s modernization and innovation efforts.
• The importance of domestic manufacturing and local supply of building materials.
• Recycling and the circular economy.

Like cement and concrete, steel is an essential building material, and its use in the built environment is often closely intertwined with concrete.

Also like cement and concrete, steel is navigating significant pressures to modernize and innovate, to strengthen its role in building major Canadian infrastructure, and to chart a credible and competitive pathway to net-zero by 2050.
