September 8, 2022 – The Electrical Contractors Association of British Columbia (ECABC) has taken on Matt MacInnis as its president, effective September 19. He replaces Deborah Cahill.

MacInnis most recently served as vice-president, Communications, for the Mining Association of British Columbia. Prior to that, he served as vice-president for a public relations firm, providing communications services to a diverse group of clients, including ECABC.

“I am very excited to join the great team at ECABC and spend time with our members to learn more about their priorities and how the association can best support them,” said MacInnis. “I believe it’s important that we recognize the critical role of electrical contractors in supporting key priorities of British Columbians.”

MacInnis also has experience working in the BC Legislature, and for local and digital media outlets.

“ECABC looks forward to beginning the newest era in the organization’s 70-year history serving as the voice of BC’s electrical and line utility contractors,” said Shawn Boyd, chair of ECABC’s board and vice-president, Service, for Houle Electric Ltd. “Continued investment in apprenticeship training and prompt payment legislation will remain key priorities for our members.”
