Stantec partners with Wounded Warrior Project

Stantec has entered a year-long partnership with Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) to support programs for post-9/11 veterans, active-duty service members, and their families and caregivers. Through financial contributions and volunteer efforts, Stantec will support WWP’s meaningful programs focused on the total well-being of those who served. The programs are available at no cost to warriors and their families. 
 
“In partnering with Wounded Warrior Project, we honor the bravery of US veterans and members of the military who have been wounded in action,” said Gord Johnston, president and CEO of Stantec. “At Stantec, we’re proud to employ many men and women who have served and play integral roles within our teams and projects across the US. We know the value of their sacrifices.”  

Through this partnership, Stantec will have a unique opportunity to connect directly with veterans and caregivers. Stantec’s Military and Veterans Advocate (MAVA) employee resource group (ERG), which integrates members of the military and helps them build successful careers at Stantec, will be engaged in these efforts. 

“Our participation in these programs will allow us to show unity with veterans in cities across the US and strengthen our connection with them and their families,” said Katie Doody, associate, Army veteran, and chair of the MAVA ERG at Stantec. “Many of us are personally familiar with the military journey, and we understand the resilience and strength it takes—especially for those who are overcoming injuries.”

Stantec supports several other groups with meaningful, sustained investments, including Veterans House Canada. Stantec has also earned the Military Friendly Employer Designation for five consecutive years, a recognition of the firm’s efforts with recruitment, retention, promotion, and advancement of veterans and military employees.
