Gwaii Engineering

Please join us in welcoming our newest Project Manager - Lorry Mackay! 🦺

As a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) and Engineer-in-Training (EIT), Lorry is passionate about leading projects that balance technical excellence with environmental responsibility. With a background that bridges forestry and engineering, she brings a holistic approach to planning, coordination, and client collaboration - ensuring every project contributes lasting value to both the communities and the environments they depend on. 🌱

Beyond work, she loves spending her time hiking, camping, and biking throughout Vancouver Island.

We are thrilled to have her on board. Welcome to the team, Lorry!

This year, the Gwaii team came together to create this collaborative piece of art - small orange shirts folded from origami paper, placed on the branches of an arbutus tree (beautifully drawn by a team member!) 🧡

This small act reminded us of the importance of slowing down, creating space for learning and connecting, and recognizing the ongoing impacts of residential schools.

Thank you to Gladia and Lubitza for organizing this for our team!

Nothing beats seeing your designs take shape in real life 😍 Last week, Jared had the chance to visit Tla’amin Nation and walk through the site of a new subdivision project we’re proud to be working on.

This project will bring much-needed housing to community members 🏠
Through multiple community engagement sessions, our team has been listening closely to ensure the design truly reflects the needs and priorities of the Nation.
