We are thrilled and extremely proud to be a certified Great Place to Work®. More than 100 of our team members took the extensive survey last month, which resulted in us becoming a Great Place to Work® certified company for 2016–2017.

The list of this year’s Great Place to Work® certified companies ranges from rapid service restaurants like McDonald’s to major banks, including TD, BMO, RBC, and Scotiabank, as well as leaders in our industry like Google and AOL. We’re honoured to have a spot on the list along with these large brands.
