Canada's construction news
As the new chair of the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies -Canada, Allyson Desgroseilliers will focus on green infrastructure and how to incorporate more nature-based design into developments.
John Gamble, president and CEO of ACEC-Canada, said the association adopted a new strategic plan last June and Desgrossellier’s environmental focus aligns with that mission. “It started very early on in my career,” she said. “I went to some of their business events and was on the business practices committee…My supervisor, my boss, he was my boss for 25 years, said, ‘Hey, why don’t you come along? I think it would be good for your professional development and it would be a good experience for you.’ So I tagged along and from there I found my own way and made my own connections and networked with people and got what I could out of it.
In addition to bringing industry leaders together during her term over the next year, Desgroseilliers plans to address the challenges the sector is facing, including finding ways to better access foreign-trained individuals to help fill labour shortages, understanding the implications and liabilities posed by AI and creating a stronger appreciation for how the engineering sector impacts the country’s GDP.
Over the next few months she plans to meet with member organizations across Canada and participate in a number of events nationally and provincially.“One of the things we’ve really have valued post COVID is the opportunity to engage with the membership face to face,” said Gamble. “The remote environment is good for transactional discussions but to really understand where are the members challenges, where are the opportunities, a lot of that requires that true face-to-face time.
