In this section, please provide a concise description of the project to help the jury understand the purpose and scope of the project, using simple terms and avoiding technical jargon.

If your submission is selected by the jury, this project summary will be used as the script for a video ACEC-Canada will produce to present your project at the award gala. This video will also be posted to the ACEC-Canada website to showcase the consulting engineering industry and the impact of our work to the government and the public.

The summary should be understandable to a member of the public, leaving them with a clear understanding of what your team achieved and the impact of the project.

The summary should include the firm(s) and project name, the client’s name, and your role in the project. The following are some areas you will also wish to highlight in the summary:
• Specific community and social needs the project addresses
• Target population or community that benefits from the project
• Positive changes or improvements that have resulted from the project
• Enhancement of the well-being, quality of life, or social cohesion within the community
• Long-term benefits or sustainable changes brought about by the project
• Concise statement on how the project demonstrates good engineering

Provide concrete examples and measurable results where possible. Ensure you emphasize the significance of the project’s impact by including outcomes rather than technical details.
By focusing on the outcomes and clearly communicating the project's positive impacts, your summary will effectively convey the significance and success of the project.

The following is an example of an excellent project summary as reference:

The Smallville Community Center, designed and constructed by Terraqor Engineering has become a cornerstone of the town’s vibrant social life.

The center also serves as a hub for local events, creating opportunities for social engagement and cultural enrichment. By enhancing access to resources and promoting inclusivity, the project has significantly improved the quality of life in this small municipality, empowering the community to thrive.
