2023 was an exciting year at Associated. For the first time in our 77-year history, we received the Outstanding Project of the Year Award (Small Project Category) from FIDIC (the International Federation of Consulting Engineers) for the Blatchford Neighbourhood District Energy System – Phase 1 project in Edmonton. We’re very proud of our work on this project in collaboration with the City of Edmonton, and being recognized on the world-stage for this “community of the future”, which is a model for sustainable development.

I’m very proud of the many industry and professional awards that our projects and staff have received across our areas of practice. This recognition is a testament to the technical excellence of our projects, and the expertise and outstanding contributions of our staff to our industry.

Over the years, Associated Engineering has worked with hundreds of Indigenous communities across Canada on projects that support their community development and well-being. Recognizing that we can do more to enhance our understanding of Indigenous history, culture, values and to advance reconciliation, we have established an Indigenous Commitment Policy and Action Plan. We are hosting cross-company webinars on Indigenous history, the residential school system, and how we can advance reconciliation on our projects. We are also supporting community events and participating in career fairs to promote youth education in science and engineering, and have established awards to students pursuing post-secondary education.

As 2023 draws to a close, I wish to thank our clients for your continued confidence in us as your consultant and trusted advisor. To our partners, friends, staff, and your families, thank you for your support and efforts.

From the Associated family, we wish you a very merry holiday season!

We began 2021 with much excitement, as this year marks Associated Engineering’s 75th anniversary, as well as a sense of optimism and hope that we could return to our normal routines. 

We are extremely thankful to everyone, including our clients, partners, friends, and staff present and past, who have been a part of our journey over the past 75 years. We have grown from a three-person office in Edmonton to a company with over 1,000 staff in 21 offices across Canada. We have a proud legacy of projects that have supported healthy and resilient communities and companies. And, we remain one of Canada’s few, employee-owned, consulting firms! While the ongoing pandemic prevented us from gathering to commemorate our 75th anniversary, we hope we will be able to celebrate with you in 2022. 

Despite the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had a strong year at Associated. Thank you to our clients for your continued trust in us!

Thank you also to the Associated team. I’m proud of the dedication and tenacity of our staff, and their commitment to technical excellence and sustainability on projects for clients from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Their innovation is demonstrated by awards for the Wanuskewin Heritage Park Bison Facilities, the Dawson City Water Treatment Plant, and Seymour River Suspension Bridge. Congratulations to our project teams!

During this holiday season, in lieu of sending out cards, we are supporting charities and organizations across the country that serve those in need.

I hope to be able to see our clients, partners, and staff in person in 2022. Until then, I wish you and your families a very happy holidays!

Martin Jobke, P.Eng.
President & CEO
