Award Winner!

Stantec

Stantec in the Community Week

ACEC-SK proudly recognizes Stantec Consulting Ltd. as the recipient of the 2025 Community Initiatives Award for their remarkable Stantec in the Community (SITC) Week — a program that exemplifies the spirit of volunteerism and the consulting engineering industry’s commitment to building stronger communities.

About the Award

The ACEC-SK Community Initiatives Award celebrates the philanthropic work of consulting engineering firms that give back to the communities where they live and work. It recognizes companies that contribute their time and talents — outside of commissioned projects — to initiatives that alleviate suffering, promote social awareness, and improve quality of life.

About Stantec in the Community Week

Each year, Stantec dedicates a week to volunteerism through Stantec in the Community (SITC) Week — a global initiative where employees join forces to support local organizations and make a lasting impact. The 2024 SITC Week marked the 11th year of this initiative, with 7,656 Stantec employees worldwide volunteering with 440 organizations across more than 450 offices.

In Saskatchewan, Stantec teams dedicate over 150 volunteer hours annually, engaging 50–70 employees across both Regina and Saskatoon. Their efforts support local non-profits and community programs such as:

  • Regina Food Bank

  • Habitat for Humanity (Regina)

  • Souls Harbour Rescue Mission

  • Friendship Inn (Saskatoon)

  • Wanuskewin Trail Clean-Up

  • Garden Patch and Nature Regina Butterfly House

Community Impact

Through SITC Week, Stantec employees strengthen relationships with local organizations, develop long-term volunteer partnerships, and enhance community well-being across Saskatchewan. The initiative aligns with Stantec’s four community engagement pillars — arts, education, environment, and health and wellness — and embodies the company’s belief that they are “better together.”

Stantec also supports employees’ personal volunteerism through the Dollars for Doers program, which donates up to $500 to non-profits where staff contribute 25 or more personal volunteer hours.

Why They Were Selected

Stantec’s SITC Week demonstrates the firm’s ongoing leadership in corporate social responsibility and community engagement. Their initiative not only benefits local charities and community programs but also fosters a culture of giving, teamwork, and civic pride among employees — perfectly aligning with the intent of the ACEC-SK Community Initiatives Award.

Congratulations to Stantec Consulting Ltd. for this well-deserved recognition and for continuing to redefine what’s possible through community service.
