We seek to embrace and celebrate differences knowing it supports the wellbeing and contributions of our people, makes our community richer, and our organization more successful. While we’re not ‘majority owned’ by one specific demographic, our firm has a diverse mix of people within our staff and partnership including Indigenous peoples, women, ethno-cultural people, people with diverse abilities, and LGBTQ2+.

Urban Matters CCC is a notable extension of Urban Systems. Urban Matters is one of Canada’s first Community Contribution Companies (CCC), created to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate in and uniquely contribute to society. They specialize in affordable housing, health and social planning, community development, and social innovation. Urban Matters brings expertise in engagement and facilitation techniques, systems-thinking, asset and change management, effective governance, conflict resolution, values-based decision making, and human-centered design.

Urban Systems also created the Urban Systems Foundation – a charitable organization whose mission is to be a catalyst for change in the lives of people, and to contribute to our higher calling of “spirit in service for vibrant communities” by enabling and building human capacity. The Urban Systems Foundation serves as a vehicle for our people to give back to their communities – a tangible expression of the spirit of generosity and appreciation which is integral to Urban Systems’ way of being.
