Dual honours highlight the firm's commitment to sustainable infrastructure and equity-driven values
TORONTO, May 23, 2025 /CNW/ - CIMA+, one of Canada's largest private consulting engineering firms, has received two prestigious honours that reflect both its technical expertise and its strong commitment to inclusive values.
On May 22, 2025, CIMA+ received a 2024 Project of the Year Award from the Ontario Public Works Association (OPWA) in the Historical Restoration/Preservation category for the Toronto Port Lands Dockwall Restoration Project. Completed in partnership with CreateTO and Dean Construction, this project exemplifies excellence in sustainable waterfront revitalization. Using innovative techniques—including underwater surveys, 3D scanning, and habitat-enhancing shoreline reinforcements, the team restored 650 metres of historic 110-year-old dockwall infrastructure. The restoration ensures the long-term resilience and operational viability of the dockwall structures and lays the groundwork for the broader revitalization of the Port Lands for local businesses, industries, and recreational users.
The firm has also received OPWA's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award, which recognizes CIMA+'s ongoing efforts to foster a workplace culture rooted in respect, equity, and belonging. Through bold initiatives in education, policy, community partnerships, and employee engagement, CIMA+ continues to demonstrate its commitment to designing sustainable communities and creating inclusive, respectful workplaces for people of all identities.
"These awards reflect the strength of CIMA+'s mission to deliver infrastructure solutions that are as inclusive as they are innovative. Whether through inclusive workplace initiatives or transformative infrastructure projects, we aim to build lasting relationships and contribute meaningfully to society by creating a more sustainable future," said Karen Freund, Regional Executive Vice President, Ontario.
Guided by its core values of excellence, integrity, and equity, CIMA+ remains steadfast in its commitment to shaping sustainable communities.
