Wind, snow, sun, and endless beauty. This is North of 60.
We live and work across the North, with our people based in the communities we serve. In partnership with Indigenous Nations across the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, we’re committed to supporting the continued growth and prosperity of the places and spaces we share.
Engineering and project delivery in Northern Canada takes grit. This is a land of dramatic seasonal variations—in temperature, weather, and sunlight. We build complex engineering, environmental, and architectural projects that serve our communities. Each day, we strive to build capacity in communities in North of 60.
We specialize in architecture, engineering, archaeology, environmental science, infrastructure, planning, healthcare, mining, and geotechnical services. With three offices and 100 local staff North of 60, we are part of the community.
Ready to deliver infrastructure North of 60? Connect with our Arctic engineering and Northern Canada infrastructure teams to discuss your project. Find us in our offices across Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Iqaluit.
