History
History
Connecting Canada for over 60 years
Colas Canada’s story began in the early 1960s, laying its foundations with the acquisition of Fabi Ltd. in Eastern Canada.
From the 1980s to the early 2000s, the company set its sights westward, with the acquisition of multiple local companies throughout Western Canada, building a network of expertise and infrastructure across our vast country.
In 2018, Colas Canada embarked on its largest expansion to date with the acquisition of The Miller Group and McAsphalt, cementing its role as a truly national leader with operations in nearly every corner of Canada.
Today, with deep roots in Canada’s history and a commitment to innovation, Colas Canada proudly connects communities from coast to coast, building not only roads but the future of Canadian infrastructure.

Our Values
Our Values
Colas shares the founding values of our shareholder, the Bouygues Group, underpinning our corporate culture and driving everything we do. These principles are not just words on a page; they are the foundation of culture and drive us forward each day.
Respect
Respect, treat others how you would like to be treated
Respect is THE absolute foundation of everything. Without it, there is no trust, no team, no future. At Colas, we care about and consider everyone - our clients, teams, colleagues and stakeholders. We champion transparency and honesty, and we stick to our word. It is the key to a collective that moves forward together, with high standards and consideration.
Commitment
Commitment is about giving your heart and soul
When we commit, it is a collective pact and an investment in everyone's success. At Colas, you don't succeed alone. We invest in our customers, our teams, and our colleagues, and with our ethical approach and total transparency, we know we can count on our people and partners. This collective energy allows us to go further, to overcome any challenge, and deliver our exceptionally high standards. We commit 100% and we commit together.
Pioneering
Bold innovation, not blind ambition
At Colas, we push boundaries, imagine what does not yet exist, and dare what others do not.
It is about analysing, preparing, calculating risks and pre-empting challenges before taking on the adventure. We innovate with ambition, and we find solutions. Great pioneers are not those who just take a leap of faith and hope for the best, but those who form their vision and ambition based on intelligence, expertise, and boldness.
Sharing
Knowledge and experience are meant to be passed on
At Colas, we don't believe in well-kept secrets. Each of us holds knowledge that could and should be shared. We see sharing and guidance as fundamental in helping us all grow. This also ensures that we do not rely solely on a few experts but on a strong collective. We pass on our knowledge so that we can achieve the best of ourselves and others.
