Best Managed Companies

At Associated, we are passionate about building communities that are vibrant, healthy, and efficient, support economic growth, and improve the environment. Sustainability is part of every project we undertake, and the manner in which we operate our business. That is why we have been a carbon neutral company since 2009.

We take pride in being a uniquely Canadian company that brings global perspectives to our clients from our international experience and technical involvement. Focused locally, we offer uncompromising service to public and private sector clients across Canada and abroad. Recognizing our service, excellence, dedication to staff, and contribution to communities, we have been one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies since 2008.

Our approach is to work with our clients to develop creative solutions that solve their problems, and also anticipate and address future challenges. Working together, we can build better communities for the future.
