As part of Arcadis IBI’s commitment to the Principles of Reconciliation in Canada, the company is committed to providing opportunities for Indigenous students within the AEC industry.
“[The company is thrilled] to support and celebrate the educational goals and achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students from across our shared lands through Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures Program,” said Director and Sr. Practice Lead, Architecture and Chair, Indigenous Engagement Steering Committee, Heather Semple.

Arcadis IBI will continue its diversity, inclusion and belonging scholarship, recognizing the contributions of the Black community to the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) disciplines.
These ongoing works are examples of Arcadis IBI’s global diversity, inclusion and belonging strategy and policy in action.
