We’re proud to share that HHA's Ontario Power Generation Headquarters project has been recognized for excellence at the Ontario Engineering Project Awards (OEPA)a program that celebrates the very best in engineering innovation, complexity, and impact across the province.

This project set out to bring Ontario Power Generation's teams together in a single, modern workplace while breathing new life into a landmark site through the adaptive reuse of the former GM headquarters. The result is a highly efficient, collaborative environment designed with long-term sustainability at its core.

HH Angus played a pivotal role as mechanical and electrical engineers, IMIT and lighting consultants, owner’s engineer, plumbing/fire protection/life safety designer, and commissioning authority. Working within an accelerated schedule, fixed budget, and increased occupancy demands, the team delivered forward-thinking solutions—from dual-function HVAC systems and high-efficiency heat pumps to ice storage and advanced energy recovery strategies.

Congratulations and thank you to our client, Ontario Power Generation, for your vision and collaboration, and to our project partners and dedicated team members who made this achievement possible. This recognition reflects what’s possible when strong partnerships and thoughtful engineering come together to create meaningful, sustainable impact.

HH Angus is pleased to welcome Chris Doel as Director, Advisory Services.

Chris brings more than 20 years of leadership experience in the architecture, engineering, and design industry, with deep expertise in sustainability, building performance and strategic advisory work. In this role, Chris will work closely with teams across the firm to help clients make informed, data-driven decisions from early planning and feasibility through design, construction, and ongoing operations.

HH Angus’ Advisory Services practice complements the firm’s core engineering offerings by providing specialized expertise in:

  • building systems strategy and early-stage feasibility

  • energy and decarbonization strategy
  • technology integration and smart building advisory
  • independent review
  • owner's representation throughout design and construction, and
  • performance verification and commissioning support at project close

Welcoming Chris to the firm, Paul Keenan, President, said: “Chris brings a strong combination of leadership, technical depth, and strategic perspective. As our clients face increasing pressure to improve performance, reduce carbon, and plan for the future, his experience will help us deliver the clear, data-driven advice they need.”  

Chris joins us from Introba, where he spent 16 years in progressively senior leadership positions, most recently serving as Senior Vice President, Canada and Regional Director. Over the course of his career, he has led complex, sustainability-focused projects across the post-secondary, institutional, and commercial sectors, with a strong track record of helping clients advance high-performance, future-ready buildings.

On joining HH Angus, Chris said: “I’m excited to join HH Angus at a time when clients need clearer, earlier advice on building performance and long-term value.

Congratulations to Steve Smith - the 2026 recipient of OACETT's George Burwash Langford Memorial Award.

The award, presented by the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists, celebrates excellence in professional practice. It honours members who have distinguished themselves in their career and, by doing so, have brought recognition and credit to the profession of engineering/applied science technology. Steve’s '50+ years and still counting' at HH Angus stand as a testament to his dedication, technical excellence, and unwavering commitment to client service.

Setting out in 1967 as an Electrical Department Junior, Steve built his career from the ground up, eventually becoming the firm’s first shareholder without a P.Eng. designation — a milestone that reflected the firm's recognition of the extraordinary value of his contributions.

For more than half a century, Steve has helped shape and renew healthcare infrastructure across Ontario and beyond. From early work on emergency power systems at Sunnybrook to decades of upgrades at major acute care facilities, his expertise as a Design Leader has strengthened the essential electrical, mechanical, and medical gas systems that support patient care every day.

Clients rely not only on his deep technical knowledge, but also on his remarkable institutional memory and ability to anticipate challenges before they arise.

Steve’s leadership has been especially evident in times of crisis. During a major public health emergency, he mobilized teams and suppliers to deliver a fully operational 20-bed isolation ward in less than two weeks — an achievement that helped save lives and protect frontline workers.

A trusted advisor, mentor, and collaborator, Steve exemplifies HH Angus’ role as a strategic partner for clients. His impact is evident not only in critical infrastructure across the healthcare sector, but also in the many professionals he continues to guide and inspire.

Warmest congratulations, Steve, from all your friends and colleagues at HH Angus!

 
 
 

Under Harry's leadership,      HH Angus evolved from a respected local consultancy into one of Canada's most trusted and nationally recognized engineering firms.

We warmly congratulate Harry on this national recognition by Canadian Consulting Engineering Magazine.

From joining HH Angus and Associates in 1974 as a young engineer to becoming its third-generation President at just 34, Harry’s career has been defined by visionary leadership, technical innovation, and an unwavering belief that people are the foundation of every success.

Under Harry’s leadership, HH Angus evolved from a respected local consultancy into one of Canada’s most trusted and nationally recognized engineering firms. He championed innovation early—whether developing custom elevator-traffic software in the 1980s, helping deliver world-first projects like the Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome), or positioning the firm at the forefront of healthcare P3 delivery across Canada.

Harry’s impact goes far beyond projects. He led with humility, openness, and integrity—fostering a collaborative, employee-owned culture where mentorship, long careers, and shared purpose thrive. His belief that “management doesn’t have a patent on good ideas” empowered generations of leaders and helped build a company that truly feels like a community.

His influence extends beyond HH Angus: through leadership roles with Professional Engineers Ontario, contributions to Queen’s University and Consulting Engineers of Ontario, community service in the arts and social causes, and the Don L. Angus Scholarship supporting future engineers.

As HH Angus begins its 107th year, we congratulate Harry Angus on this well-deserved honour and his positive and lasting impact on our firm.
