ACEC CANADA PARLIAMENT HILL DAY On October 19th, close to 60 industry leaders from across Canada came to Ottawa to rally the industry for ACEC-Canada’s 2023 Parliament Hill Day. During this cornerstone advocacy activity, they amplified the sector’s voice by meeting with Ministers, Members of Parliament (MPs), Senators, and other policy makers. Over the course of some 35 meetings with representatives from across party lines, they discussed how consulting engineering firms play a key role in planning, designing, and building resilient and prosperous communities in Canada and across the world. Following the meetings on Parliament Hill, ACEC-Canada members gathered for an evening of celebrations at the Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards (CCEA) gala. Several MPs joined the festivities, networking with award winners and industry leaders from their ridings.
