Collingwood, ON, September 27, 2024 — C.F. ������Ƶ & Associates Inc. (������Ƶ), a leading consulting firm in the land development and building industry, today announced that it has earned a spot on the 2024 Report on Business magazine’s ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies for the second consecutive year.

Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. ������Ƶ earned its spot with 111% growth over the last three years, up from 106% in the previous three-year period.

“Being recognized by The Globe and Mail for our continued growth is an honour, especially as ������Ƶ celebrates 20 years in the land development and building industry,” says Chris ������Ƶ, P.Eng., founder and CEO of ������Ƶ. “As we set our sights on further expanding on a national scale, we remain committed to delivering client-first solutions and investing in the success of our people.”

Founded by Chris ������Ƶ, P.Eng., and Kevin Morris, P.Eng., in 2004 in Collingwood, Ontario, ������Ƶ has made its mark working on private sector projects across Canada — from residential and industrial subdivisions, to commercial power centres, recreational resorts, and infrastructure for First Nations communities, among others.

A look at several milestones over the last three years:

• Diversified service capabilities including the addition of Environmental Consulting and Municipal Infrastructure to support growing client and market needs.
• Launched ������Ƶ’s First-Time Home Buyers’ Assistance Program which provides a contribution of up to $20,000 per employee to help fund the down payment on the purchase of their first home. To date, the program has helped over 10% of the firm’s employee base attain homeownership.
• Bolstered the leadership team with the appointment of new partners and Board of Director members, and added a record number of new employee shareholders to support expansion and diversification of engineering client service capabilities.
• Opened a fifth office located in Guelph, Ontario, to promote the firm’s growing presence and employee base in the region.
• Awarded esteemed top employer, leadership and business growth recognitions, including Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers in 2023 and 2024, the Report on Business ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies in 2023, and more.
• Delivered full range engineering solutions for industry leading projects such as the redevelopment of TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley and the development of industrial, commercial, and residential subdivisions across southern Ontario that support the province’s housing needs.

Canada’s Top Growing Companies is an editorial ranking that was launched in 2019 to celebrate the achievements of innovative businesses in Canada. To qualify for this voluntary program, companies had to complete an in-depth application process and fulfill revenue requirements. In total, 416 companies earned a spot on this year’s ranking.
