Empowering Business Growth Through Supplier Diversity 

We believe strong supply chains grow from shared opportunity. By working with local suppliers across Canada, we help drive economic value in the communities where we live and work. Our network includes more than 400 small and medium‑sized businesses, including women‑owned companies and those led by Indigenous peoples, visible minorities, and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. This focus on supplier diversity strengthens innovation, expands market access, and supports sustainable solutions for our clients.

Potential Vendor Opportunities

We are actively seeking small and diverse businesses to support us in providing innovative solutions for our clients.  

To qualify as a Small or Medium Enterprise (SME) or Diverse Supplier, you must be 51% owned and controlled in Canada as a permanent resident or citizen. A supplier must be at least one of the following: woman, minority, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, person with a disability, veteran. A small and medium supplier does not need to be diverse but is required to have 1 to 499 employees within Canada. 

Next step, identify your business as a potential diverse supplier or SME by registering with us. We are actively seeking suppliers for special projects, RFPs and innovative products and services. We have dedicated resources to help you register and certify your business in our portal
