Delays at the Port of Vancouver: A Critical Issue for Construction in Canada

Why Choosing a Local Manufacturer Changes Everything in 2025

Delays at the Port of Vancouver have been disrupting supply chains across the country for several months. This issue, caused by strikes, logistical congestion, and record-high import volumes, is having major consequences on construction projects—especially in the field of architectural and commercial lighting.

What Are the Real Impacts of Port Delays?

Construction professionals — contractors, electricians, architects — are facing a frustrating reality:

Lighting products stuck in transit

Weeks-long delays in receiving fixtures

Projects slowed down or halted

Additional costs for labor and coordination

Growing frustration from end clients

In a field where meeting deadlines is critical, every lost day can lead to serious financial and operational setbacks.

Lighting: One of the Most Affected Sectors

Lighting is often one of the last elements installed in a project, yet it’s essential for completion. When the products don’t arrive on time, installation delays pile up. The issue? A large portion of lighting in Canada is imported — especially from Asia — via the Port of Vancouver.

That’s where choosing a local manufacturer like Borealux makes all the difference.
