Our Story BOWDA has proudly served the Bow Valley since 1995. We are a membership-driven networking and advocacy group focused on the needs of the building and development industry. Our dynamic community of over 230 members is comprised of builders, developers, architects, designers, lawyers, accountants, realtors, engineers, and more. BOWDA was founded for the purpose of building a strong and unified voice for local industry professionals. The organization has grown substantially over the years, though our mission has remained unchanged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f54f277e41203950060bf4/f19a4ca8-1afd-41ef-b778-5a89f9548022/Snip20250420_73.png HomePage - Our Impact Our commitment to our community extends far beyond our work within the building and development industry.

In 2007 the organization decided to move away from the UDI framework and become Bow Valley Builders & Developers Association, a stand-alone organization not affiliated with a parent organization. https://www.bowda.ca/get-involved daily 0.75 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f54f277e41203950060bf4/1646237977560-YX0YFDMQUD5LZV2LJ8K1/Christmas+luncheon+1.jpg Join BOWDA - Become a Member With 250 members and growing, BOWDA has a strong voice for the building and development industry and for business in general in the Bow Valley.
