Building stronger communities — together

In a world that is rapidly evolving, MNP recognizes that being a successful business means more than just financial achievements. This mentality has been a core value for us since we first opened our doors, more than 65 years ago. Our commitment extends beyond words — it is reflected in the stories that you'll find throughout this report, highlighting the wide range of initiatives we’ve taken part in and the organizations that we’re proud to work with.

As I read through the stories that follow, I’m struck by the importance of partnerships. Our firm takes pride in building relationships with so many different organizations that are doing meaningful, challenging work to make our communities stronger.

The Don Penny Collaboration Zone at Assiniboine Community College in Brandon, Manitoba, is a great example. Don was a founding partner when MNP began life in Brandon and this Collaboration Zone will serve as a space for the community to gather and bring entrepreneurial ideas to life.

At MNP, we know that our local leaders know their community needs best and the stories that you will read are great examples of how local perspectives are so important when bringing our Communities Forward strategy to life.

For many of the organizations we partner with, they tell us that the resource they value most is time. Volunteer hours are often, therefore, more impactful than financial commitments. Not only does volunteering go a long way to helping non-profits achieve their goals, it also helps us to find valuable ways to build relationships, by bringing together our partners, team members, clients, and other members of the community.

Working together allows us all to make incredible progress. When I read the stories about the differences that our team members and Partners are making, and the way we've collaborated and partnered within our communities, it gives me great confidence that our firm is on the right track. We’re looking forward to building on our momentum, strengthening our relationships, and creating an even greater impact in the years ahead.

Sincerely,
