June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to learn about and celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

“This work requires care and sustained commitment,” says Jennifer Price, President & CEO. “We have a responsibility to build respectful relationships and apply what we’re learning in how we work every day. Initiatives like our Reconciliation Action Program and participation in the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) help guide us, but progress comes down to consistent action over time.”

🌈 Pride Month is a time to celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and emphasize the importance of building inclusive workplaces where people feel they belong.

“Creating a workplace where people feel safe and respected takes ongoing effort,” says Jennifer Price, President & CEO. “Pride Month is a time to celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and the diversity within our workplace and communities. It’s also a reminder that this work continues year-round. We each have a role to play by listening, learning, and treating one another with care.”

As part of Pride Month, we are making time to listen and learn together. On June 12th, McElhanney's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee is hosting a Lunch and Learn with Mic Liu, exploring intersectional belonging in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) industries, and how identity can shape workplace experience.

This session is an opportunity to better understand how inclusion shows up in our day-to-day work, and the role we all play in creating space where people feel valued and supported.

The Prairies South team showed up strong for the 2026 Servus Calgary Marathon Corporate Team Challenge! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

This past weekend, our staff from across the Prairies South Region came together in Calgary for the marathon weekend! It was great to see staff, family, and friends cheering, running alongside the team, and joining a well-deserved post-run brunch to celebrate.

In the weeks leading up, there was no shortage of friendly competition and team challenges to build momentum and keep everyone motivated. Kudos to everyone who participated and a big thank you to the organizing team for bringing it all together. 👏

We’re excited to kick off onboarding for our newest interns!

Last week, we hosted our annual Intern Welcome Mixer: a chance to connect, learn, get a feel for the many career paths at McElhanney, and have fun while doing so! While the event was virtual, our Edmonton interns were able to gather in person, meet face-to-face, and make those first connections right away.

A big thank you to our speakers – Santino Pirillo, Jarrett Zilinski, Tyler Bondaroff, and Celeste Steyn – for sharing their experiences, advice, and insights to help guide the journey ahead.

Looking forward to seeing this group grow and thrive!

It’s Mental Health Week (May 4–10), and this year’s theme — Stronger Connections, Better Mental Health — is a timely reminder that feeling seen, supported, and connected matters.

At McElhanney, we believe caring for mental health is part of caring for people. That means creating space for honest conversations, helping reduce stigma, and encouraging the day-to-day moments of connection that strengthen teams — checking in, listening without judgement, providing support and resources, and reaching out when someone might be carrying more than we can see.

A simple message for this week: check in, listen, and reach out. You never know what a small moment of connection can mean.

That’s a wrap on another amazing season of campus visits!



For us, the journey started in fall 2025 with visits to multiple schools across British Columbia and Alberta, hosting and attending dozens of info sessions and career fairs, and having countless conversations with interns and graduates throughout the 2025-2026 season.

Great teamwork with our school partners, hiring teams, and the Talent Acquisition team led to great results. This summer, we’re excited to welcome more than 50 new interns and new graduates, along with over 25 returning early‑career professionals who are continuing with us after completing work terms in previous years!

As we gear up to welcome this group of bright talent in May, we can’t wait to see where their path with us takes them.

This April, McElhanney teams took part in the Vancouver Sun Run and the Victoria TC10K. Over 150 runners participated across two 10K events in our local communities. We were also glad to have Jennifer Price, President and CEO, join the Vancouver Sun Run team!

Huge congratulations to everyone who trained and participated. With sunny skies, great energy, and well-earned post run brunches, it was a solid couple of race days.

Kudos to all who made it happen. We’re already looking forward to cheering on neighbouring offices as they take part in the Calgary and Edmonton runs in the coming months.
