2024 has been another great year at Associated Engineering. I want to thank our staff for your incredible efforts. Because of your commitment and innovation, Associated Engineering was recognized as a Best Managed Company for the 16th consecutive year! We also received local and national awards for many of our projects, across all our disciplines, including an ACEC-Canada / Canadian Consulting Engineer Award of Excellence for the City of Calgary Valuation of Natural Assets project. Congratulations!

The work we do wouldn’t be possible without our clients – thank you for your continued trust in us, and for the opportunity to collaborate to create sustainable and resilient solutions.

At Associated Engineering, we not only want to create an environment that cultivates creativity and innovation, but also support a fun and collaborative workplace. Aligned with this goal, we hosted our latest AE Olympics in Kelowna BC in April, bringing together over 300 staff and guests at this bi-annual event that we’ve held for 26 years. Our first hockey tournaments were held in the 1970s. The modern AE Olympics started in 1998, and now feature dozens of social and sporting events, which foster camaraderie, relationship building, and networking.

As 2024 draws to a close, from my family to yours, we wish our staff and their families, our clients, and our project partners a safe and very merry holiday season and a happy new year.

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!

As 2022 draws to a close, we reflect on the initiatives we introduced and the accomplishments we achieved during yet another busy, exciting, and successful year for our company.

This year, Associated Engineering established our Indigenous Commitment to improve our understanding of Indigenous history, culture, and values; build positive relationships with Indigenous Peoples; and take action to advance reconciliation. We have been holding regular webinars to raise our Indigenous awareness. On September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we engaged Chrystal Tabobandung, founder of RAISE, who provided a moving presentation on Indigenous history and culture, and how we can all be allies and partners in reconciliation.

In November, we were honoured with five awards at the annual Canadian Consulting Engineering / Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Canada (ACEC) Awards. We received Awards of Excellence for the Wanuskewin Heritage Park Renewal-Bison Management & Care Facilities in Saskatoon, Crowchild Trail Bow River Bridge Interchange Rehabilitation & Widening project in Calgary, and the Blatchford Neighbourhood District Energy System in Edmonton. The Blatchford project also received the Tree for Life award, recognizing the project’s outstanding environmental stewardship. Congratulations to our project teams! These awards are a testament to your innovation and technical excellence. Congratulations also to Tia Hill who received the A.D. Williams Scholarship! This award is bestowed to a young professional for their efforts to advance the consulting engineering industry.

As President & CEO, I have the privilege of traveling across the country and meeting our clients and partners, who have shared their perspectives and feedback with me. Your insights are important and help to inform and improve our projects and project delivery. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our clients for your trust in us as your consultant and advisor.

Wherever my travels take me, I am proud to see the passion and commitment that our staff have to our clients and projects. As a result of your dedication, we have had another strong year at Associated. Thank you for your service and creativity – it’s what differentiates us.

To all our clients, partners, friends, staff, and your families: we wish you a very joyous holiday season and a healthy and happy new year!

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!
