Season's
Greetings
It is my privilege to write this year-end message to
all our staff, clients, and friends of Associated Engineering.
2006 has been a year of continued success for the company.
We remain busy in all of our offices across Canada.
It is a particular pleasure to congratulate our team
who worked on the design of the Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment
Plant Industrial Water Reuse Facility in Edmonton. Associated
Engineering received the Schreyer Award, Canada’s
highest honour for consulting engineers, for our work
on the Gold Bar Water Reuse Facility. This award is a
tribute to our staff’s innovation and engineering
excellence!
The successes we have achieved on projects like the Gold
Bar plant have allowed us to build our expertise and raise
our profile as one of the leaders in engineering in Canada.
We are proud of our past achievements, but know we have
to work hard to continue to serve our clients effectively
and to recruit and retain the best staff. To this end,
this year, we adopted a new and exciting strategic plan
to lay out the path we wish to take forward. This plan
recognizes the values and culture that we have cultivated
over our six decades in the consulting engineering business,
documents our vision for growth, defines our commitment
to our staff and clients, and recognizes our responsibility
to the communities in which we work. Our plan is to extend
our leadership position, explore new opportunities, and
invest in our staff and our communities. The plan is challenging,
bold, and exciting. With the support of our team, I know
we will achieve our goals.
2006 marks the retirement of Alistair Black, P.Eng.,
Past President and CEO of Associated Engineering. I want
to thank Alistair for his service and dedication to the
company as both an employee and senior executive. Alistair,
your work ethic, integrity, service to our clients, and
the caring you demonstrate to all our staff are examples
to all of us. We will work hard to follow in your footsteps.
As you retire, we look forward to your continued guidance
in your on-going role as Chairman of our Board of Directors.
To our staff, I want to take this opportunity to thank
you. Your energy, enthusiasm, and service to our clients
are the reasons for our continued success. To our clients,
thank you for entrusting us to develop the right solutions
for your project challenges. To clients, staff, and our
extended Associated Engineering family, best wishes for
this holiday season and the New Year from my family and
me.
Kerry Rudd, P.Eng.
