Collingwood, ON – April 7, 2026: Tatham Engineering, a multidisciplinary consulting engineering firm, has earned recognition as one of Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers for 2026—marking its fourth consecutive year on the national list. The annual competition, managed by Mediacorp Canada Inc., celebrates employers that demonstrate exceptional leadership workplace culture, employee programs, and community impact.

This year’s recognition validates Tatham’s strategic investment in its people and communities. With more than 200 employees across six offices in Ontario, the firm continues to achieve steady growth while remaining true to its employee-owned roots and core community values.

“Our culture is rooted in supporting our people and our communities,” said Dan Hurley, President of Tatham Engineering. “This recognition reflects the commitment our employees bring every day — how they collaborate, lead, and take ownership in shaping our growth. Their pride in the high-quality work we deliver, and the impact we make together, is what sets Tatham apart.”

Investing in People & Workplace Innovation

At a time when many Canadian organizations are navigating economic pressures and slower growth, Tatham has continued to move forward with purposeful investments in its people and workplaces. Recent initiatives include:

  • Expanded physical footprint: Office expansions in Bracebridge and Orillia, and a relocation in Guelph, to accommodate growth and create more collaborative, modern workspaces.
  • Career advancement: Fifteen promotions across departments demonstrate Tatham’s commitment to recognizing talent and developing leaders from within.
  • Enhanced connectivity: Launch of a centralized company intranet platform improves cross office communication, celebrates employee achievements, and provides unified access to tools and resources.
  • Formalized community giving: Tatham’s Corporate Giving Program formalizes the firm’s long-standing commitment to healthcare organizations—highlighted by a $500,000 pledge to the Collingwood General & Marine Hospital over seven years—while empowering employees to lead giving initiatives aligned with their values.
Tatham’s approach reflects the unique advantage small and medium‑sized employers have in creating personalized, connected workplace cultures.

 

“What really sets SMEs apart is their ability to understand their employees on a personal level: social events are tailored to employee interests, professional growth more directly attuned to the individual’s goals, they’re able to create a culture that larger firms can’t easily match,” said Richard Yerema, Executive Editor at Mediacorp.

Looking Ahead: 2026 Priorities

The initiatives introduced over the past year reflect Tatham’s commitment to evolving thoughtfully as it grows. As many Canadian organizations navigate a challenging economic landscape, Tatham remains focused on steady, people‑driven growth. In the year ahead, the firm plans to invest in employee focused initiatives such as our Young Professionals Committee, while expanding training and integrating emerging technologies and AI to support collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.
