2025 Movember Construction Challenge Wrapped
Movember shows up for the construction industry
For 30 days, hard hats came off, moustaches grew in, and job sites across the country turned into hubs of connection, conversation, and friendly competition.
When the construction industry sets its sights on a goal, it gets the job done. And in 2025, Canada’s construction crews once again proved that when it comes to men’s health, they don’t just show up. They lead from the front.
For 30 days, hard hats came off, moustaches grew in, and job sites across the country turned into hubs of connection, conversation, and friendly competition. The result? A record-breaking year for the Movember Construction Challenge.
By the Numbers
This year, 1,744 Mo Bros and Mo Sisters from 238 construction teams raised an incredible CA$1,173,048 for men’s health. Those dollars will support life-changing work in mental health and suicide prevention, as well as prostate and testicular cancer research and support programs, helping men live longer, healthier lives.
How the Industry Showed Up
From the shop floor to the site office, construction crews found their own ways to get involved. Some grew epic ‘staches to spark conversations. Others took on Move challenges, hosted crew fundraisers, or rallied entire teams around the cause.
But the real impact went deeper than the dollars. Movember gave teams a reason to check in on each other, talk openly about mental health, and remind every worker that looking out for your crew goes beyond the job site.
2025 Construction Challenge Final Standings
It was a neck-and-neck race for most of the month, with teams bringing the heat right through the final days.
Top Five Teams:
Ledcor – CA$154,994
Gillam Group – CA$75,264
Jermyn Lumber – CA$67,545
Twin Lions Contracting – CA$53,732
Associated Engineering – CA$49,293
Each of these crews brought serious energy, leadership, and heart to the challenge.
Top Individual Fundraiser
A big shoutout goes to Craig Lesurf, who led the charge as the top individual fundraiser with an impressive CA$58,069 raised. Craig’s commitment shows what’s possible when one person steps up and brings others along with them.
Why the Construction Challenge Matters
With over 85 percent of Canada’s construction workforce made up of men, this industry plays a critical role in shaping men’s health outcomes. The Construction Challenge is not just about fundraising. It’s about building stronger crews, safer workplaces, and a culture where asking for help is seen as a sign of strength.
As Kevin Hatch, Co-owner and President of Twin Lions Contracting, puts it:
“Twin Lions has been a champion for Movember and mental health for over 10 years now. In the construction industry, there is a disproportionate number of men who struggle with their mental health. Too many of our colleagues, coworkers, and friends have been affected, so let’s stand up as leaders in this fight, together.”
Thank You for Building the Movement
Every crew that signed up, every captain who rallied their team, and every donor who chipped in helped make this year’s challenge one for the record books. You didn’t just raise funds. You helped start conversations, strengthen connections, and remind the industry that looking after your people is just as important as getting the job done.
Here’s to carrying that momentum into 2026 and continuing to build a healthier future for men across Canada.
