IRWA’s Higher Purpose was implemented at the Holiday Luncheon on November 26, 2025.

Posted on November 29, 2025 by krystambender

Attendees from educational institutions, municipalities, Land Agencies, Provincial and Crown Entities explored Canada’s economic call in action 📢 to pursue infrastructure development and investment for Canadians 🍁 . Multidisciplinary collaboration is required to achieve results ✍ and project delivery.
Currently infrastructure analysts are in high demand and Chapter 54 is forming an alliance with local universities to assist with filling the knowledge gap, strengthening the marketability and skills of British Columbians. 🙌
Following the lead of the Key Note speaker Marc Magierowicz at Accenture, Chapter 54 will be paying it forward by donating to local food banks. Our chapter encourages others to assist in your community during the Holiday Season 🎀 as we are all here to help one another.
