Cardinal Concrete Ltd. is a supplier of ready-mix concrete for commercial and residential projects from Lions Bay to Pemberton. It includes two concrete plants (one of which is in Whistler), an aggregates quarry, and a concrete pumping business. Bob Fast began the business in 1973, having grown up on his family's dairy farm in the Fraser Valley and moving to Squamish that same year. Cardinal Concrete supplied projects including the Brennan Park Ice Area in 1979, the shops at the BC Rail Yards on Government Road in the early 1970s, the start of Whistler Village in 1979, the shops at Squamish Terminals in the early 1980s, the Sea to Sky Gondola, the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, and the 2010 Winter Olympic venues in Whistler and the Callaghan Valley. Cardinal Concrete was sold by the Fast family to Lafarge Canada Inc. in 2019.
