Is there a vision of your community and a plan of public works to deliver that vision? In too many communities, the answers to these questions are not positive ones. The vision of ACEC is for a better Canada, a better world. In ACEC’s vision, “the silent profession” will be heard. We will be leaders in the re-building and re-energizing of Canada. Our advice will be sought and appreciated. Consulting engineering will be an employer of choice for young engineers, scientists, 2 As engineers we are obligated by our training and architects, and technicians.

We are obligated Through our relationships with FIDIC, ACEC (US), to speak out about infrastructure deterioration, and other organizations, we will actively promote the waste of poor planning and construction and our industry and monitor developments affecting the root causes of environmental degradation. our industry. Being on the ACEC Board, I have met Canadian From this Vision come the five Priority Objectives of consulting engineers across Canada as well as image, remuneration, business practices, lobbying Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada • Association des ingénieurs-conseils du Canada Annual Report • Rapport annuel • 2001-2002 and future trends.

Canada and reflect our needs and aspirations. Together, the Vision and Objectives are part of a Strategic Plan endorsed by our Member Organizations from Newfoundland to British Columbia to the Yukon. Our new system of national committees is working well. To date, Communications and Business Practices have been the first to follow the integrated ACEC + MO committee system and, as Chair of We have the need, the obligation, and the plan. Do the Communications Committee, I can report we have resources to implement the plan? I think good results. that we do. ACEC has been blessed with a series of strong Boards and committed Chairs. For 2002-2003, our new Chair, Pierre Shoiry, will have a very capable team working with him at the Board and in our ACEC offices. Pierre will provide strong leadership with sound business knowledge. The pieces are now in place for a great effort. The next steps are as follows: 1) we need to raise a war chest through a dues increase in 2003 and beyond 2) we need to involve more leaders from our member firms at the MO and national level and 3) we need to implement our plan. Our new President, Claude Paul Boivin, has arrived asking the right questions and testing our assumptions. He is an enthusiastic supporter of our Plan and with his team will keep us on track. To quote Claude Paul: “priorities exist so that we can say ‘no’ to other good ideas.” The need is great and the obligation is manifest. The Vision is clear and the objectives are estimable. The Plan is in place and now we need your time, your money and your moral support. There comes a time........ and that time is now. There is a strong team in place, as well, in the Member Organizations (MO). Since I joined the ACEC Board, I have traveled from Whitehorse to Vancouver to St. John’s, and as Chair, I have been invited to MO events as varied as Awards Ceremonies, Premier’s Receptions, Annual Meetings, and breakfasts with Provincial Cabinets. We are strong. We have good people working on our behalf in every region. Our MO’s are working with ACEC as a team. In some cases, leadership is being provided by a MO (publicity for example) in others by the ACEC (federal lobbying). We are working hard to build upon the strengths and experience of each organization. Together, we are working towards a goal of zero duplication and no wasted effort. The Executive Andrew Steeves.

À titre de président du Conseil, j’ai été invité à des événements aussi variés que des cérémonies de remise de prix, des réceptions de premiers ministres, des assemblées annuelles et des déjeuners avec les membres de cabinets provinciaux. Nous sommes forts. Nous avons des gens de haut Andrew Steeves, P.Eng. Président du conseil 5 P r e s i d e n t ’s R e p o r t In spite of the tragic events of September in the United States and their aftershock around the world, the Canadian consulting engineering industry is doing well. The financial performance of most firms has been good to very good and, on the whole, industry leaders feel moderately positive about business conditions in Canada. These are the conclusions of the 2001 ACEC National Business Survey of Members, reflecting the general resilience of the industry and the strength of Canada’s economy. There certainly seems to be a level of confidence that allows us to be positive about the present, and optimistic about the future. As I take over the responsibilities of practices initiatives. In moving ahead with its agenda, ACEC President, I am also optimistic ACEC will continue to count on the continuing collab- about the future of the association. oration of Member Organizations, member firms, as Without a doubt, ACEC plays an well as that of the many consulting engineers who important role in supporting consulting volunteer their time on the different committees, engineering firms in becoming more successful. In and who are willing to share their wisdom and addition to conducting comprehensive economic knowledge to advance the industry. surveys and other business initiatives which allow firms to benchmark themselves, ACEC serves as the voice, as well as the eyes and ears of the industry nationally and internationally. In the short period that I have been in my position, I have been struck by the solid reputation of ACEC among decision-makers who look to ACEC for the industry’s perspective on key national issues related to construction. As is evident in this Annual Report, ACEC has been very active over the past year. As a result of extensive consultations within the industry and with the provincial Member Organizations, the leadership has clearly identified the association’s five priorities, A major change in 2001 was the phasing out of the Export Division and the integration of the trade support services into the core activities of ACEC. The resulting loss of the $60,000 of revenues generated by the Export Division has put pressures on the Association’s budget, but the executive has taken measures to address this challenge. In closing, I want to express my sincere appreciation to our Chair, Andrew Steeves, for his guidance in my first months in the position, as well as to the ACEC office staff for their support. Special thanks go to my predecessor, Tim Page, for being available with advice and information, and for his ongoing which are: involvement as a volunteer on the Steering Committee Image • Remuneration • Business Practices of the HRDC Career Awareness project.

La plupart des firmes affichent de bons résultats financiers et, dans l’ensemble, les leaders de l’industrie voient les conditions commerciales au Canada d’un oeil positif. Ce sont les conclusions de l’enquête nationale 2001 de l’AICC auprès de ses membres, reflétant la volonté de l’industrie et la robustesse de l’économie canadienne. Il semble certainement exister un niveau de confiance qui nous permet d’avoir une attitude positive quant au présent et optimiste face à l’avenir. En entrant dans mes fonctions à titre de président internationaux et aux pratiques de commerciales. de l’AICC, je vois aussi l’avenir de l’association avec Dans ses initiatives, l’AICC continuera à compter optimisme.

Bien que mon mandat au sein de l’AICC soit encore récent, j’ai vite été saisi par la solide réputation dont jouit l’AICC auprès des décideurs qui consultent l’association pour le point de vue de l’industrie sur les grandes questions nationales qui touchent à la construction. Comme on peut le constater à la lecture de ce rapport annuel, l’AICC a été très active au cours de la dernière année. À l’issue de consultations exhaustives au sein de l’industrie et avec les organisations membres provinciales, l’AICC a clairement identifié les cinq priorités de l’industrie, soit: L’un des importants changements apportés à l’association en 2001 fut l’abandon de la division Exportation suivi de l’intégration de services de soutien au commerce dans les activités clés de l’AICC. La perte résultante de revenus de 60 000 $ qui étaient générés par la division Exportation. Pour conclure, je tiens à remercier notre président du Conseil, M. Andrew Steeves, pour son appui pendant mes premiers mois à l’AICC, ainsi que l’équipe de l’AICC pour son soutien. Je remercie également mon prédécesseur, M. Tim Page, qui s’est rendu disponible pour m’offrir des conseils et des informations et qui continue à siéger bénévolement au L’image • La rémunération Les pratiques commerciales • Le lobbying comité d’orientation du projet Information sur les carrières de DRHC.

The priorities were identified as a result of extensive consultations within the industry and with the provincial Member Organizations. The five priorities are: b u s i n e s s p r a c t i c e s i m a g e r e m u n e r a t i o n t r e n d s l o b b y i n g 2 0 0 1 - 2 0 0 2 National Committees to maximize effectiveness image and promoting itself to its various audiences. The ACEC is committed to working closely with the The strategy has identified the priority target Provincial Member Organizations in developing audiences which are the engineering community plans to implement the priorities and, ultimately, itself, decision-makers and opinion-leaders. In other to work towards the common goal of helping words, those who have influence on purchasing member firms be more successful. Consequently, decisions. ACEC will continue to work with the national committees were established with broad Provincial Member Organizations to develop representation from across Canada. One of the messages and activities to promote the industry objectives of these committees is to ensure that and member firms as a whole. there is a harmonization of efforts among ACEC and the Provincial Member Organizations in order to maximize output, ensure complementarity of action and avoid duplication. The National Communications Committee is chaired by Andrew Steeves, P.Eng., and the National Business Practices Committee is chaired by Scott Philips P.Eng. With the phasing out of the Export Division last year, the association’s trade support services have been incorporated into the core activities of ACEC. A discussion paper was developed to outline the strategies that will guide the future of ACEC international programs, including the promotion of export trade. The Board will be adopting a final strategy for its Strategies In the past months, work has begun on the development of strategic plans for the association’s image activities, international programs and business practices initiatives. The image strategy will guide the consulting engineering industry in enhancing its 8 international activities based on the discussion paper. In addition to the National Committees, the ACEC has twelve different committees and taskforces to deal with a host of issues that face the consulting engineering industry. The committees are composed of representatives of member firms from across the country.
