Douglas Ammerman

Hello, everyone. My name is Doug Ammerman. I'm the Chair of Stantec. I'd like to welcome you to our AGM. This AGM will be held on a virtual basis and also in-person. So it's a hybrid AGM. We have people here in Edmonton joining in person. We have people joining remotely through the Stantec site. Wherever you're joining us today, I'd like to welcome you to the meeting.

Today, before we get started, I'll begin with a Safety Moment because at Stantec, we start every meeting with a Safety Moment. We always want safety to be top-of-mind. So if there's an emergency in the room, there'll be an alarm that will go off directing you where to go. There's a Muster Station downstairs by the Bell Tower, and we'll meet by 102nd Street. So don't move on the first alarm, you'll be instructed to leave.

What I'd like to do is introduce some of the folks here today from Stantec. We have our President and CEO, Gord Johnston. Vito Culmone, our Executive Vice President and CFO; and Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Paul Alpern. These individuals will be available to answer any questions during the question-and-answer period of the session that will follow.

I would also like to introduce our Board of Directors who are standing for reelection, including myself. We have Martin a Porta, Shelley Brown, Angie Chen, Rick Eng, Gord Johnston, Chris Lopez, Marie-Lucie Morin and Celina Wang Doka and all of the members standing for reelection are here today, and I want to thank them for their continued contributions to the Board. So thank you.
