Michael Magnan, M.Arch.

His career spans progressive roles in both the public and private sectors, most recently serving as public realm lead for the City of Calgary.

“I’m very passionate about leading and mentoring an innovative team that’s committed to turning client visions into reality and I’m enthused to be doing it on a national scale as part of AECOM’s urbanism + planning practice,” said Mr. Magnan.

Mr. Magnan’s diverse portfolio of work in the public sector includes the high-profile Future of Stephen Avenue Public Realm Transformation, which reimagined Calgary’s most iconic retail and hospitality destination, and the ambitious Main Streets Program, which transformed key corridors throughout the city’s established communities.

“I’m looking forward to building on the existing strengths of the AECOM Buildings + Places team in B.C. and Alberta, and to leading the development and implementation of strategies that expand the business in western Canada,” said Mr. Hubick.

Mr. Hubick’s recent experience includes serving in a leadership role for the pursuit phase of the Cowichan District Hospital Replacement in Duncan, B.C., which will be the first healthcare project in Canada to be delivered utilizing an Alliance procurement model.
