National Engineering Month: Our Team's Thoughts

read

Happy Friday! We would like to continue our National Engineering Month series by sharing our first two quotes on what this month means to our team! 🖋 🔊 ⚙

"As engineers, we play a crucial role in shaping a sustainable future and making a lasting impact. For instance, in Canada, where we have a significant number of immigrants, we are focusing on constructing residential buildings that can accommodate this. By designing and building such structures, we not only provide homes for people but also contribute to creating inclusive communities and supporting sustainable urban development."

-  Mark Vicuna, Executive Assistant to the President, Edmonton, AB

"This year’s theme: 'There’s a place for you in engineering' speaks volumes to me. It underscores the dynamic and inclusive nature of this industry, where diverse backgrounds and skill sets come together to drive progress. Our role is not just about building structures or systems, but about envisioning and realizing a future where economic growth and environmental sustainability go hand in hand. While my professional journey didn’t begin in the engineering field, building a career in the industry has shown me that regardless of where you start, your unique perspective and talents can contribute significantly to creating sustainable and impactful solutions for our world."

- Maddy Lakusta, Director of Administration, Halifax, NS
