Founding sponsor
As a sponsor since 2000, Sagen™ 1 has donated over $6.5 million in support of Habitat Canada and has helped thousands of Canadian families realize their dreams of affordable homeownership. While Sagen’s financial support provides crucial funding for their homeownership program, its support of Habitat Canada extends far beyond financial support.
Throughout the sponsorship, Sagen employees from all levels of the organization, including President and CEO Stuart Levings and his executive team, have lent their leadership experience, industry knowledge and time to help launch many of Habitats’ signature programs, including the Sagen Homebuilding Grants, Global Village Volunteer Program in Canada and the Meaning of Home Contest.
These programs, along with Sagen’s support and involvement in them has significantly increased their ability to raise funds, recruit volunteers and ultimately, support more families and build stronger communities. Find out more at www.sagen.ca

Since then, Metrie’s commitment to innovation and customer experience has helped the company expand operations to include seven domestic millwork manufacturing sites producing solid wood and MDF mouldings with pre-finishing capabilities for both mouldings and doors, plus 26 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada. Metrie has grown over the last nine decades to become the largest MDF moulding manufacturer in North America. www.metrie.com
Stantec is a caring Company, committed to supporting growth in our communities through the enhancement of knowledge, prosperity, health, and quality of life. The key to the program’s success is its ability to adapt to the specific needs of our local communities while maintaining a connection to Stantec’s overarching focus areas—arts, education, environment, and health & wellness. Each year, we set a target to donate up to 1% of Stantec’s annual pre-tax profits to charitable and not-for-profit organizations; Stantec is committed to investing in the communities where we live and work. By 2030, we aim to invest millions into community organizations around the globe, taking our total to $60 million since starting this initiative in 2007. In 2024, Stantec donated $10.8M locally throughout its regions. Since 2007, when we began tracking, our donations have exceeded $54.9 million. We’re proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity.
