History

Established in 1959 and incorporated in 1966, RCAM has been recognized as the voice of the commercial and industrial roofing industry with a stellar tenure nearing 60 years of professional roofing installation in Manitoba.

RCAM is the provincial affiliate of the federal organization, The Canadian Roofing Contractors Association (CRCA) in Ottawa and was created to represent the commercial roofing community in Manitoba.

We are the source for all things commercial roofing, having vast experience, knowledge, expertise and training in the industry and we are proud to advocate on behalf of our members, business owners, employees and industry partners.
