trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that
still feels like a community. We employ about 3000 people across Canada, and we
truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work
and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving
organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your
favourite milkshake flavour is.
