- Rolled out wellness programs for all employees including: the “Road to Mental Readiness” training to over 95% of our employees; Wellness Fairs in all regions; and a new Wellness Points Program.
Advanced our culture
- Rolled out the Goals, Recognition, and Opportunities online talent management system to all employees.
- Developed a foundational Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Framework that supports all employees to bring their whole, authentic selves to work each and every day.

Started shaping our ‘Engineering Vision’
The Engineering Vision involves connecting our clients with the expertise of our engineering team so they can get the engineering support and advice they need.
Relocated head office to East Vancouver
The new purpose-built corporate space optimizes employee engagement and increases collaboration, learning, and adaptability for the benefit of our employees and clients.
