Last week, the #McElhanney team was proud to participate in Science World’s Community Access Day. This free event helped reduce financial barriers, giving more community members the chance to experience science and technology while inspiring the next generation of innovators. Attendees had the chance to explore coding, AI, robotics, and connect with our team through hands-on activities. Reflecting on the day, Syeda Maknun, Geospatial Technologist at McElhanney, shared, “It was such a meaningful experience to share hands-on science activities and connect with kids and families. A great reminder of the importance of inclusion, curiosity, and community.”  A big thank you to our Vancouver survey team for leading this important event and kudos to Anna Margarita Golingay, Kim Gutman, Akiko Leigh, John Baker, Stefan Timotic, Maryam Zakeri, Darren Su, and Syeda Shahida M. for living our core values of caring for our communities. #ThankYou #OwnIt #ScienceforAll

This week, McElhanney’s Vancouver Island team hosted the 2nd annual Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) event in Nanaimo, B.C.

By investing in one another, sharing our journeys, and lifting as we lead, we pave the way for lasting change in STEM. Thank you to the inspiring women at #McElhanney and across the industry who continue to open doors and create space for more women to thrive in STEM. #WomenInSTEM #WomenAtMcElhanney

What do you get when you mix engineering, creativity, and a bright orange oversized traffic cone? A McElhanney-built boat that paddled into the championship race at the 2025 Silly Boat Regatta in Nanaimo, BC! 🚤    On July 20th, our Nanaimo and Duncan teams brought energy, teamwork, and creativity to this beloved community event – helping raise over $100,000 for the Nanaimo Child Development Centre (NCDC), which supports more than 1,900 children and families across Vancouver Island each year.    Huge thanks and cheers to our Nanaimo and Duncan teams for bringing the McElhanney spirit to the water and proving that teamwork and a little imagination can make waves: both on and off the shore. 🌊    📸 Check out the full story and photos via Nanaimo News Now: https://lnkd.in/g_uiTNyT
