ACEC Annual Report (2012-2013) - Canada Consulting Engineers

Shaping Tomorrow’s World 

ANNUAL REPORT 

2012-2013

ACEC at a Glance 

THE LEADING VOICE FOR THE BUSINESS 

OF CONSULTING ENGINEERING IN CANADA 

The Association of Consulting Engineering 

Companies (ACEC) represents companies in Canada 

that provide professional engineering services to 

both public and private-sector clients. These services 

include the planning, design and execution of all 

types of engineering projects as well as providing 

independent advice and expertise in a wide range of 

engineering and engineering-related fields. Through 

offering these services, ACEC member companies 

have a direct influence on virtually every aspect 

of the economic, social and environmental quality 

of life in Canada. Moreover, as part of a regulated 

profession, the engineers employed by ACEC 

companies are obligated by law to act with fidelity to 

the public interest. 

Founded in 1925, ACEC today is a membergoverned 

association of nearly 500 independent 

consulting engineering companies, and 12 

provincial and territorial Member Organizations. 

Consulting engineering in Canada is a $25.8 billion 

a year industry that employs more than 100,000 

Canadians. Canada is globally recognized for its 

engineering services and is the fifth largest exporter 

of engineering services in the world with 30% of its 

work performed at the international level. 

ACEC is a member of the Fédération Internationale 

d’Ingénieurs Conseils (FIDIC), the global voice of 

consulting engineering. 

THE ACEC LOGO 

The ACEC logo evokes a maple leaf encircled 

by the engineers’ Iron Ring – a recognized 

and respected symbol of the engineers’ great 

responsibility and duty to the public. In this vein, 

ACEC member firms aspire to be the trusted 

advisors to their clients – relied upon for innovative, 

sustainable solutions to some of society’s greatest 

challenges. The ring was designed with 12 discrete 

elements representing each of our provincial and 

territorial Member Organizations. 

The resultant abstract presentation of the ring also 

suggests both a globe on its axis and a sense of 

motion and change. This represents the talented, 

business-minded professionals who apply their 

knowledge and expertise to improve quality of 

life for Canadians and the broader international 

community. This is reinforced by ACEC’s concise, 

aspirational tagline: “Shaping tomorrow’s world.”

Chair’s Report 

As I noted at the beginning of my term as Chair, 

there is no question that the business of consulting 

engineering is changing. The Association of 

Consulting Engineering Companies - Canada 

(ACEC) will also need to evolve if it is to continue 

to be an effective voice for the sector and deliver 

value to its members. This is why ACEC has 

thoroughly reviewed its governance and strategic 

priorities in 2012-2013. 

Murray D. Thompson, P.Eng. 

Chairman of the Board 2012-2013 

This past year ACEC has successfully implemented 

a new governance model that has focused the 

association on the future. In addition to its fiduciary 

responsibilities, the ACEC Board of Directors now 

spends more time identifying the major issues and 

trends facing our industry – not just in the coming 

year, but in the years ahead. This will allow us to 

adapt to the new risks and opportunities in our 

changing business and regulatory climate. ACEC has 

recognized that today, more than ever, it needs to 

be proactive and it needs to be agile in order to be 

effective. 

This emphasis on the future and a forward-thinking 

approach is also reflected in ACEC’s new strategic 

plan for the period 2013-2016. For example, building 

upon its success as an industry advocate with the 

federal government, ACEC has committed more 

time and resources to engaging with our clients in 

the private sector. Not only is this important to firms 

active in areas such as buildings, industry, energy 

and resources, it also recognizes that our client 

base is changing across the board. With changing 

project delivery models, even traditional public 

sector owners are delivering more projects through 

private sector organizations. And as we broaden our 

interaction and advocacy into multiple client sectors 

in addition to our strong government relations 

program, we will also be creating more opportunities 

for member participation. 

2 


ACEC had more direct interaction and continuity 

with its provincial and territorial Member 

Organizations via the current cross-Canada tour 

and opportunities to participate in activities that 

engage a broader cross-section of member firms. 

ACEC is in a stronger position to support advocacy, 

image building and member recruitment/retention 

activities of the Member Organizations. Member 

engagement has been maintained this year and 

will continue to grow under the direction of the 

incoming Chair. 

At the end of the day, if ACEC is to continue to 

be the recognized voice of the industry and help to 

make engineering firms more successful, we need to 

continue to be relevant and we need to be agile. 

ACEC and our industry are well positioned for 

continued success through 2013 and into the future. 

I have no doubt that our association will continue to 

add value and make this industry proud. 

Murray D. Thompson, P.Eng. 

Chairman of the Board 2012-2013 

Our accomplishments this year would not have 

been possible without the support and advice of 

the 2012-2013 Board of Directors. I am proud to 

have worked with this great team – our industry 

is fortunate to have such dedicated and visionary 

people in its ranks. 

I also want to acknowledge our hard working staff 

in Ottawa, led by our President John Gamble. While 

the Board sets the direction of the association, 

it is our team in Ottawa that runs the day-to-day 

operations. Whether they are promoting the value 

of engineering services to clients or to Parliament 

Hill, providing programs or organizing events, we 

are fortunate to have such capable ambassadors and 

advocates for our members and our industry. 

To my successor, Jason Mewis, and to the incoming 

Board of Directors, I want to extend my best wishes 

for another successful and productive year ahead, 

and to assure you of my continued engagement and 

support. Finally, I would like to encourage those 

of you not on the Board to consider becoming a 

Board member in the future. I can assure you it’s a 

rewarding experience and will be of benefit to you as 

well as ACEC.

President’s Report 

ACEC remains committed to creating a business 

and regulatory climate that will allow our members 

to be successful and offer a high level of quality 

and value to their clients. No other profession or 

industry is more important to our social, economic 

and environmental quality of life. 

The past year has clearly demonstrated that ACEC 

is strongly committed to providing value to its 

members and ensuring continuous improvement. 

This is reflected in both a new governance model 

and a renewed strategic plan that have guided 

ACEC activities over the past year. The Year in 

Review section of this report offers an overview of 

the many programs and activities undertaken by the 

association, as well as a look forward. 

John D. Gamble, CET, P.Eng. 

President 

I believe that our national profile has never been 

higher. Record participation in both the Canadian 

Consulting Engineering Awards and our annual 

Parliament Hill Day has yielded national media 

coverage for ACEC and local media coverage 

for many of our members. We have earned a 

reputation as an important and influential voice 

for Canada’s consulting engineering sector in the 

eyes of the federal government and other national 

stakeholders. 

We continue to leverage our influence and 

credibility by advocating on issues important to our 

profession and our industry. This year, ACEC has 

been one of the most effective voices in support 

of long-term infrastructure investment. ACEC 

continues to be at the table as key stakeholders 

work with Infrastructure Canada toward the 

development and implementation of the new plan 

announced in the federal budget this spring. In 

addition, we have continued to collaborate with 

our Member Organizations to educate provincial 

governments on the unintended implications of 

the New West Partnership Trade Agreement for 

our members and their clients. This issue is now 

back on the political radar in western Canada. 

And thanks to our work with other industry 

4 


stakeholders, the Canadian Nuclear Safety 

Commission has reconsidered administrative 

changes to its licencing requirements that would 

have cost our industry millions of dollars in 

financial guarantees. 

Our authority on business issues important 

to our industry is well recognized. ACEC has 

been represented on the Canadian Construction 

Documents Committee, the Canadian 

Infrastructure Report Card Advisory Board and 

the Institute for BIM in Canada. To assist our 

members with business practice issues, we have 

now updated and improved our entire suite of 

contract agreements for consulting engineering 

services. These documents are now free to our 

members and their clients. And for the first time, 

these documents are now available in both official 

languages. 

Building on our successes over the past several 

years, particularly in advocacy and profile building, 

ACEC has committed new resources to expand our 

influence and deliver value to members. Because 

the past year was also financially successful, we 

have been able to make significant investments in 

outreach to private sector clients and in member 

engagement. 

Of particular note, we have reached out to private 

sector organizations that represent clients of 

consulting engineering firms and/or that impact 

the business and regulatory climate for consulting 

engineering. ACEC has already been discussing 

issues of mutual interest with organizations such 

as Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, 

Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Mining 

Association of Canada and Canadian Energy 

Pipeline Association. 

This year, Murray Thompson and I had the 

opportunity to travel across the country, meeting 

with many of our volunteers and with the Member 

Organizations that represent our industry at the 

provincial and territorial level. The Member 

Organizations are also key to our successes across 

the country. As part of our annual tour, Murray 

and I have sought out more frequent and varied 

opportunities to participate in activities that 

engage a broader cross-section of the membership. 

This has allowed ACEC to support Member 

Organizations in their advocacy, image building 

and member recruitment/retention activities. This 

will continue and is being expanded. 

The past year’s successes would not have been 

possible without the hard work of ACEC 

volunteers and staff. Volunteers, led by our 

Board, freely offer advice and expertise through 

participation on ACEC committees and task forces. 

We recognize many of ACEC’s volunteers in this 

report. 

ACEC is supported by a diverse and talented staff 

in Ottawa. I want to thank Susie Grynol, Jean-Marc 

Carrière, Randi Goddard, Martin Savard, Laura 

Allardyce and Julie Jacquard for their hard work, 

creativity and commitment to the association and 

to its members. 

In closing, I wish to thank Murray Thompson and 

the 2012-2013 Board of Directors for their support 

and strategic leadership. Always moving forward, 

they hold the association and themselves to a high 

standard of professionalism and accountability. I 

look forward to continuing our important work 

with our incoming Chairman, Jason Mewis, and our 

new Board. 

Sincerely, 

John D. Gamble, CET, P.Eng. 

President

STRATEGIC PILLARS AND ACTIVITIES 

ACEC’s four strategic pillars were realized through the 

following activities and initiatives. 

ADVOCACY ON NATIONAL ISSUES – PUBLIC 

SECTOR AND PRIVATE SECTOR FOCUSED 

We influence the federal government and other 

national stakeholders to create a favourable regulatory 

and business climate for engineering companies. 

• Our annual Parliament Hill Day provides 

opportunities for representatives of ACEC 

member firms to meet with federal politicians 

on issues significant to our industry.

CALLING FOR A NATIONAL LONG-TERM 

INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN 

During Parliament Hill Day in 2012, ACEC 

representatives from across Canada met with over 

40 Members of Parliament to voice the association’s 

support for a long-term infrastructure plan. 

ACEC took a strong message to Parliamentarians: 

infrastructure investments are vital to Canada’s 

prosperity and they provide value to Canadian 

taxpayers. 

ACEC also made a formal pre-budget submission 

to the House of Commons Standing Committee 

on Finance in support of the government’s 

commitment to a long-term infrastructure plan for 

Canada. 

ACEC, working with its provincial and territorial 

Member Organizations, was prominent at regional 

infrastructure roundtables across Canada organized 

by federal Infrastructure Minister Denis Lebel. 

Member organizations across Canada have also 

taken this message to their respective provincial and 

municipal governments. 

On March 21st in the House of Commons, the 

Honourable James Flaherty, Minister of Finance, 

tabled the federal government’s budget, Economic 

Action Plan 2013, which includes funding for the 

largest and longest federal infrastructure plan 

in Canadian history and refelcts a number of 

recommendations put forth by ACEC and its many 

partners. 

ACEC representatives discuss issues of importance to the 

consulting engineering industry during Parliament Hill Day

What We Have 

Accomplished This Year 

SAVING FIRMS MILLIONS IN FINANCIAL 

GUARANTEES 

Pressure from ACEC and the Canadian Council 

of Independent Laboratories (CCIL) stopped a 

Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) 

proposal to require over $14 million in financial 

guarantees from users of nuclear devices such 

as densometers to ensure their safe disposal. An 

independent risk assessment determined that the 

annualized financial risk associated with disposal 

of densometers would be more realistically around 

$16,000 (less than 0.15% of the $14 million in 

guarantees). 

The CNSC has accepted the findings of the 

risk assessment. Going forward, the CNSC will 

work with the industry to explore more realistic 

alternatives. 

FIXING THE NEW WEST PARTNERSHIP 

TRADE AGREEMENT (NWPTA) 

ACEC is taking a leadership role in promoting 

interprovincial trade rules that will improve our 

industry’s ability to provide value to taxpayers and 

improve the quality of life of all Canadians. 

ACEC and its Member Organizations support 

increasing the flow of goods, services, capital 

and people across borders in Canada. However, 

language in the NWPTA puts pressure on public 

clients to treat professional engineering services 

as a commodity. The potential consequences 

of this have led to renewed efforts by ACEC’s 

Member Organizations to re-engage their provincial 

governments have put this issue back on the political 

radar. 

OPENING DOORS TO PARTICIPATE IN 

FOREIGN AID 

ACEC has long advocated that Canada’s foreign aid 

programs return to an emphasis on community 

and economic infrastructure that helps create 

long-term self-reliance. In November 2012, the 

federal government made a commitment to 

refocus Canada’s foreign aid priorities and 

facilitate the private sector and non-government 

organizations (NGOs) in leveraging their respective 

strengths and expertise. 

Federal aid programs have the potential to alleviate 

poverty and increase self-reliance in developing 

countries, showcase Canadian expertise and provide 

business opportunities for Canada’s engineering 

sector. ACEC and its member companies across 

Canada welcome opportunities to work closely with 

the government and NGOs as the government 

refocuses its foreign aid priorities. 

IMPROVING PUBLIC PROCUREMENT 

ACEC encourages the use of InfraGuide Best Practice 

for Selecting a Professional Consultant and the use of 

qualifications-based selection (QBS) to provide the 

best long-term value to clients. 

ACEC made significant progress with Defence 

Construction Canada (DCC) in terms of changes to 

the way in which proposals are evaluated and scored 

which will improve the quality of engineering 

services by reducing the influence of price in 

proposal evaluation. Early results suggest the 

changes have been successful. 

10 


SUPPORTING BUSINESS PRACTICES 

ACEC has completed an update of its entire suite 

of standard agreements for use by consulting 

engineering firms. These documents are available 

free of charge to ACEC members and their 

clients. 

ACEC has endorsed two new CCDC contracts: 

CCDC 14 – Design-Build and CCDC 15 – 

Construction Management. The Committee was 

successful in negotiating changes to CCDC 14 and 

15 to ensure their fairness and balance, especially 

with regard to risk to designers. Issues concerning 

insurance have also been clarified to the satisfaction 

of the ACEC representatives on CCDC. 

Looking Forward: Creating 

more Value for Members 

NEW PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES FOR 

2013-2014 

In light of uncertainty in the industry, ACEC’s 

advocacy on behalf of its members and its outreach 

to its members is more important than ever. Not 

only will ACEC be maintaining its core programs, it 

will also be strengthening programs that support its 

key strategies. 

EXPANDED MEMBER OUTREACH 

AND ENGAGEMENT 

ACEC will have more direct interaction and more 

continuity with MOs. ACEC has allocated resources 

to increase engagement among a broader crosssection 

of member firms. ACEC will also be able 

to support advocacy, image building and member 

recruitment/retention activities of the MOs. 

EXPANDED PRIVATE SECTOR OUTREACH 

Private sector outreach has been identified as a 

standalone item with a dedicated budget to allow 

ACEC representatives the resources to have direct 

interaction with organizations that represent private 

sector clients, especially in the commercial, industrial, 

energy and resource sectors. 

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS 

CONSTITUENCY WEEK 

ACEC will coordinate an outreach program 

for ACEC members to meet with Members of 

Parliament in their local ridings on key industry 

issues. This will strengthen ACEC’s political 

presence and brand with federal politicians and 

expose members to, and directly engage them in, 

ACEC’s advocacy on behalf of its members. ACEC 

would also engage the local MOs and provide them 

with a template for similar initiatives at the provincial 

or municipal level. 

ANNUAL CHIEF EXECUTIVES ROUNDTABLE 

FOR ACEC MEMBERS 

ACEC will explore the feasibility of a facilitated 

national annual one-day CEO roundtable to ensure 

that ACEC is in tune with the leadership of ACEC 

member firms (or their Canadian operations) both 

in terms of value for membership and issues and 

trends. This focused business and networking 

opportunity, exclusive for industry leaders, would 

result in a report distributed to the participants and 

to the ACEC Board. 

MEDIA STRATEGY 

ACEC will create and execute a robust media 

strategy including proactive media outreach and 

media events, key contact with journalists, regional 

media outreach for members, a strategic social media 

plan and crisis communications.

To the Members of 

Association of Consulting Engineering 

Companies - Canada 

The accompanying summary financial statements, 

which comprise the summary statements of 

financial position as at March 31, 2013, March 31, 

2012 and April 1, 2011, the summary statements 

of operations and the summary statements of 

changes in net assets for the years ended March 

31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 are derived from the 

audited financial statements of the Association of 

Consulting Engineering Companies - Canada for the 

years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. 

We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those 

financial statements in our report dated June 20, 

2013. 

The summary financial statements do not contain all 

the disclosures required by the Canadian accounting 

standards for not-for-profit organizations. Reading 

the summary financial statements, therefore, is 

not a substitute for reading the audited financial 

statements of the Association of Consulting 

Engineering Companies - Canada. 

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 

the summary financial statements based on our 

procedures, which were conducted in accordance 

with Canadian Auditing Standard (CAS) 810, 

“Engagements to Report on Summary Financial 

Statements.” 

OPINION 

In our opinion, the summary financial statements 

derived from the audited financial statements of the 


Companies - Canada for the years ended March 31, 

2013 and March 31, 2012 are a fair summary of 

those financial statements, in accordance with criteria 

described in Note 1.
