After eight years working at Toronto Community Housing as an associate construction manager, Anya Barkan joined Multiplex Construction Canada this past January as a sustainability manager.

Since joining the team, she has helped the company earn the 2022 Green Building Pioneer award from the Canadian Green Building Council (CaGBC) and be recognized as a finalist in Procore’s 2022 Groundbreaker awards in the Excellence in Sustainability category.

Experienced in the construction of residential, commercial and life-science buildings as well as infrastructure, she continues to push the envelope when it comes to supporting the environment through her company’s sustainability-driven initiatives, including the aim to reach carbon neutrality.

She is constantly seeking change and improvements for the businesses and communities in which she builds, and has dedicated herself to changing the built environment through environmental, social and governance strategies.
