CDA is pleased to announce that David Mack, CDA member, has been inducted as a 2023 EIC Fellow for his exceptional contributions to engineering in Canada.

He has also assisted Alberta Transportation in developing their Water Control Structures – Selected Design Guidelines (2004) and their Civil Works Master Specifications for water management projects (2004). His outstanding career contributions have positively impacted many engineers, clients, and the society at large in Canada. David is well deserving of this prestigious honour of being bestowed Fellowship of the EIC.
