This video updates followers on the project to build a Third Crossing of the Cataraqui River in Kingston, Ontario.  The title refers to the importance of the contribution made by every member of the team to the success of the enterprise. This week, the steel structure's main form was completed, but it would not have been possible without the hard, skilled work of every member of the Walters Group involved in design, manufacture, procurement, fabrication and finishing.
