Jacques Whitford Ltd. Announces its Acquisition of The Sheltair Group
The new alliance creates a powerful force in sustainability consulting within Western Canada.
(CSRwire) CALGARY, AB. - August 18, 2008 - In the midst of unprecedented growth
within the field of sustainability consulting, Jacques Whitford Ltd. is
pleased to announce its acquisition of The Sheltair Group. The newly
created entity, Sheltair, a Jacques Whitford Company, unites two
formidable sustainability authorities and creates Western Canada’s
foremost resource for sustainability consulting.
The need for corporate and government clients to ensure the environmental
sustainability of their operations has increased significantly and Jacques
Whitford has made sustainability a main priority both in its own operations
and on behalf of clients. This acquisition strengthens the firm’s
ability to keep up with increasing demand in the region and to offer
multi-disciplinary expertise in policy development, strategic planning,
project implementation and management, and evaluation.
Sheltair is a leading Vancouver-based consulting firm with a national
scope and a 25-year history of taking an integrated and sustainable
approach to urban planning, building engineering and resource management.
Sheltair brings to Jacques Whitford a strong reputation, solid client
bases in all sectors, and innovative staff with demonstrated expertise in
creating innovative and integrated solutions for their clients’ built
environments – from materials, buildings and infrastructure, to
neighborhoods, communities and larger urban regions.
The acquisition is effective immediately. The company will initially be
managed by Sebastian Moffatt and will report directly to Bob Seager,
President of Jacques Whitford’s Western Operations.
