B&A is thrilled to announce our hiring of Marissa Koop, whose 15-year career in Environmental Planning has paralleled the evolution and growth of the industry on both a municipal and provincial level.

B&A has been hard at work this year on many projects across Canada. We like to celebrate our partnerships with our great clients and our accomplishments on amazing projects. Here are a few highlights and updates from the year so far.

Project Approvals January to July 2018

Urban design has been a core service area at B&A for years and we are excited to expand our capabilities with the addition of Geoff Dyer who will fill the position of Strategic Lead in Master Planning and Urban Design.

Grant brings to B&A Planning Group a broad range of planning experience gained through over 25 years of municipal and private sector planning. Since joining B&A Planning Group, Grant has been involved in processing and project management of residential, commercial and industrial projects in the Calgary region. Recent projects included the Trinity Hills mixed-use, Wolf Willow and Stoney Industrial outline plans.

Following completion of a recent senior management transition, the creation of a new strategic management team and the adoption of a three (3) year strategic plan, B&A is pleased to share the following announcements on service area growth / diversification initiatives and recent hirings, as we seek to continue to deliver exceptional value to our clients from land acquisition to planning approval.

B&A’s dedicated team of planning professionals navigate the new federal, provincial and municipal regulatory environment for cannabis - from assessing site suitability to updating land-use bylaws to obtaining development permits.

B&A, in partnership with 1st Principles Planning, will provide leadership and expertise to Canal Flats on their Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw.

With more than 30 years at B&A, Ron Wrigley is getting ready to retire and will say his last goodbye to our team and his clients by April 2018. Needless to say, his hard work, industry wisdom and charismatic approach to work and life will be greatly missed by those who have had the pleasure of working alongside him.
