RPIC National Summit

Making real property investments work harder requires resilient, sustainable solutions that extend asset value and support long-term mission needs. Events such as the 2026 Real Property Institute of Canada (RPIC) National Summit provide valuable opportunities to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and contribute to conversations that shape the future of federal infrastructure and asset management across Canada.

As a proud silver sponsor, our team looks forward to connecting with executives and professionals across the federal real property community and sharing insights and resources. Visit us at booth 35 to say hello and learn how we can support your federal projects.

The annual RPIC Summit is more important than ever as Canada accelerates its efforts to build greater security, stability and prosperity for ourselves and our allies.

Modernizing RCAF Alert Bases - Lessons from New Aircraft Beddowns

As Canada modernizes its defence infrastructure to support new advanced and unmanned aircraft and increased operational requirements, effective planning and delivery of modernization projects are critical to mission readiness. Drawing on our experience and lessons learned from new aircraft beddowns worldwide, we will participate in the poster session, describing the facilities to support fifth-generation and unmanned aircraft and the functional elements of modernizing the existing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) northern alert bases for new aircraft and expanded missions.  

Military Aviation Lead, Matt Kundrot, will present a poster titled “The RCAF Alert Base Infrastructure Modernization Program - Lessons Learned from Previous New Aircraft Beddowns,” highlighting our diverse expertise in modernizing airfield facilities in the Arctic and around the world.

The RCAF alert bases provide for defence, surveillance, intelligence, search-and-rescue, and community service. They are vital links for remote regions and help maintain Canada's presence and sovereignty in the High Arctic. 

The poster dives into aircraft-specific logistics and infrastructure readiness, incorporates lessons learned from similar aircraft and environments, and considers dual-use and climate-ready features and opportunities for the future.

The Poster Session runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Rideau Canal Atrium. The posters will be available to view at the Rogers Centre for in-person attendees, and virtual attendees can view PDF copies on the virtual platform.

Building the Future of Defence Infrastructure

Events such as the RPIC Summit provide valuable opportunities to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and contribute to conversations that shape the future of federal infrastructure and asset management across Canada.

We look forward to connecting with colleagues, clients and industry partners at RPIC 2026 and discussing how lessons from past aviation infrastructure programs can help inform the next generation of defence facilities.
