The group will be led by Colin Hill, Vice President of Western Civil, EllisDon. Hill is a 20-year veteran in Civil construction and will work with a hand-selected team of industry experts. Over the past five years, Hill has been actively developing the Western Civil team under the Calgary Buildings Group with the intention of becoming an independent entity at the right time. "I am incredibly excited to lead our deeply talented Civil team as we take on our own area of responsibility in Western Canada. I am very proud of the Civil team we have built over the years, and our achievements as a group in a short period of time are an indication of even greater things to come," said Colin Hill, Vice President of Western Civil, EllisDon. Western Civil will focus on transit, infrastructure, environmental and small Civil projects and will operate out of EllisDon's already established hub centres in Western Canada. "Our team is focused on collaboration with the Buildings groups in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver and we commit to work collectively in these areas to deliver a broader range of construction services and market share," said Hill.

  • Smith Family to Sell Ellisdon to Employees
    Smith Family to Sell EllisDon to Employees Mississauga, ON, March 2, 2020— Today, EllisDon announced that on Friday, February 28th, a final agreement was executed under which 100% of the company's equity will be transferred to the company's employees. The Smith family shareholders, who previously held 50% ownership, have signed-off on an agreement which assures that over time, EllisDon will become entirely employee-owned. From March 1, 2020 onward, EllisDon will gradually buy out the Smith's stake in the company while the employees' ownership will steadily increase to 100% over several years. "I don't think I can overstate how momentous this agreement is in the life of EllisDon; it is one of the most important days in our history," said Geoff Smith, President and CEO, EllisDon. "I am very proud of everyone at EllisDon, past and present, for everything that has been accomplished over the past 69 years." The agreement is the result of negotiations led by EllisDon's Board of Directors Chair, Gerald Slemko, the Smith family, and representation from EllisDon's shareholder employees. EllisDon will continue to be governed by an independent Board of Directors, to whom Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Smith and the management team will report to. "EllisDon's share structure and independent governance will ensure that we continue to strive together for complete fairness in equity of ownership across all employees, both present and future," said Smith. “Shares will continue to be offered to employees every year and loans will still be offered on an interest-free basis. Shares will always be purchased and sold at book value, ensuring the ability of every employee shareholder to participate fully in the share value created while they are at EllisDon, and then to pass that opportunity on to future employees."

  • Ellisdon's ABEEL Launches National Shaping the Future Sponsorship Program
    EllisDon's ABEEL Launches National Shaping the Future Sponsorship Program Mississauga, ON, December 18, 2020— EllisDon's Alliance of Black Employee and Leadership (ABEEL) launches the inaugural Shaping the Future Sponsorship Program enabling Canadian students to share their vision for a community that is more inclusive of the Black experience and without racism. This initiative will serve some of the most underrepresented and underserved communities in different areas of Canada. "Helping to create a world, free of racism and discrimination, is a very important goal for EllisDon. It is so important to encourage students to help shape a path forward and help create an environment that's more BIPOC inclusive," said Kieran Hawe, COO and Executive Vice-President, Construction Operations, Executive Sponsor, ABEEL. As part of this program, students will engage in meaningful dialogue about how they see racism manifest in their own lives, and what steps everyone can take towards a less hateful future. Student teams from across the country will use a creative medium of their choosing to bring their ideas to life, including creative writing, non-fiction writing, photography, music, video, or visual arts. ‘‘We want to thank all the educators and staffs members from across different schoolboards in Canada that are working tirelessly in a time like this, marred with COVID-19 and Social Injustices to ensure that through a program like this we can jointly pave the way to an awesome future," said Samuel Ajobo, P.Eng, Chair, ABEEL. The initiative has been rolled out across four different schoolboards in Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa and lower mainland British Columbia led by Denroy Jackson and Siju Ewhubare, both Community Outreach Leaders for ABEEL.
