Chair, BC Hydro

Dan Doyle was appointed Chair of the BC Hydro Board of Directors on July 16, 2009

In May 2006, Doyle was appointed Executive Vice President at VANOC with responsibility for the $580 million development and building of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games venues. In addition to venue construction, Doyle oversees aboriginal participation, legal, people and sustainability, and special projects.

Large complex building projects are second nature to Doyle. With more than 35 years of experience with B.C.'s Ministry of Transportation, most recently as deputy minister, he has overseen some of the province's landmark construction initiatives. Highlights include the rehabilitation of Vancouver's Lions Gate Bridge and the development of the Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement project. Doyle also served as chairman for Rapid Transit 2000, the company responsible for building the Millennium Line extension to Vancouver's rapid transit system.

A civil engineer by training, Doyle’s lengthy career has been recognized with many accolades, including the APEGBC President's Award in 2007, the Canadian Transportation Person of the Year (2005) and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Institute of Transportation Engineers. In addition, he was awarded the Lieutenant Governor's Silver Medal for Excellence in Public Administration (2002).
