That’s a wrap on an incredible 2026 summer internship season! 🎉

When we asked our summer students to describe their experience, one word came up again and again: “amazing.” We couldn't be prouder!

From meaningful project work and hands-on learning to Lunch & Learns, social events, and memorable moments, they brought fresh perspectives, curiosity, and incredible energy to McElhanney. A huge thank you to our interns, managers, mentors, and colleagues who made this experience so impactful.

But we're not stopping there. Our next campus recruitment season kicks off in September, and we're excited to welcome the next generation of talent. Stay tuned for updates!

A safer connection between Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake, British Columbia.🚶🚲

The Burnaby Lake Pedestrian Bridge is improving active transportation across Highway 1, helping people walk, cycle, and roll more easily between parks, trails, neighborhoods, and local destinations. McElhanney led the project through planning, design, and construction, delivering a signature connection for future generations of the Burnaby community.

A little dirt, a little clay, and a lot of curiosity! Our Prince George team brought soil science to life at The Exploration Place Science Alliance Summer Camps, where young STEAM learners explored test pitting, soil samples, clay experiments, and creative clay figurines. From “Miner Matt” to “The Dirt Wizard,” the campers had a memorable look at the science beneath their feet.

Thanks to the team for helping make learning so hands-on and fun!

Today, on National Intern Day, we're celebrating the students who bring fresh ideas, curiosity, and energy to our teams every day! They ask great questions, jump into new experiences, and remind us that learning never stops.

Here's what Hannah Searls, now an Engineering Tech in our Prince George office, shared about her experience as a McElhanney student who completed three internship terms with our team: “McElhanney has trusted me with meaningful projects and responsibilities while providing a support system I know I can rely on. Along the way, I’ve learned the small but important lessons that come with starting out in the industry, like how PPE is both a safety essential and a fashion statement, and how the dirt on the ground can tell you more than you might expect. I couldn’t imagine a better place to take my first steps in the industry.”

Big shout-out to all interns – you're the future of our industry, and we're proud to be part of your journey!

Last week, employees from across our Vancouver teams came together for our annual Summer BBQ, joined by our CEO & President and Vancouver-based Executive Vice Presidents. It was a great opportunity to take a break, enjoy the summer weather, and connect with colleagues from across teams. Thanks to the Vancouver Social Committee who helped make it happen. ☀️🌭

McElhanney is proud to support Engineers in Action Okanagan and returning Kamloops summer students who recently travelled to Peru to help construct a 65.5-metre suspended bridge across Rio Blanco.

This new bridge creates a safer, year-round route between Aguas Calientes and two neighbouring villages, supporting access to essential resources when the river floods during the rainy season.

Congratulations to the Engineers in Action Okanagan team on this meaningful project!
