On September 21st, multiple teams of Stantec Florida employees headed out to embark on Stantec’s  fourth annual day of worldwide volunteerism.

The team was among some 8,000 employees participating in Stantec in the Community Day, a total which includes the more than 175 volunteers in Florida.The events were in celebration of Stantec’s focus on giving back to the local community and in support of the firm’s promise to design with community in mind.

In 2015, more than 7,000 Stantec team members volunteered at community organizations in Canada, the United States, Barbados, the UK, the UAE and India.  This year, we had more than 8,000 employee volunteers during this annual day of firm volunteerism. “Community is at the center of everything we do at Stantec,” said Fermin A. Diaz, Gulf Regional Leader at Stantec. “Stantec in the Community Day encourages our staff to support local causes and organizations. And, there is no better way to support our communities than through our personal involvement.”
