Who is Bousfields?

Bousfields has been growing our body of knowledge for half a century and counting.

As a multidisciplinary land use planning consulting firm, our people and the work we produce collectively are a big reason we continue to be respected in the industry for doing great work. Bousfields provides a collaborative, team-oriented  learning environment designed to broaden your knowledge and create a clear career path. Bousfields is full of passionate people working on some of the GTHA’s most exciting projects, in dynamic, cross-functional teams of all sizes and scope.

What’s it like to be a Bousfielder?

Bousfields employees, or Bousfielders as we like to say, can expect a newly renovated open concept office environment, with many collaboration spaces and a fantastic kitchen with snacks and refreshments.

We currently have two offices, open Monday-Friday, where everyone is coming in as per our hybrid work model. All Bousfielders have an individual desk assignment at both our Toronto and Hamilton offices. We utilize a variety of technology to ensure our two offices can connect seamlessly. 

Our Toronto office is located in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood in Toronto. We love to walk to the market and pick up lunch or something to take home for dinner, often using the market vendors for our social events. 

Our Hamilton office is located in the heart of downtown Hamilton, in a beautiful heritage building. Our Hamilton office continues to grow. 

Opening of our Hamilton Office
Many of our Toronto colleagues took the GO train in and our clients came from all over the region to celebrate together with our Hamilton team.

Our GoodWorks and Knowledge Committees at the Toronto Office

Committees

One of the ways Bousfields engages employees is through our various committees. Whether you join our Knowledge Committee which drives shared learning and professional development, our Social Committee “GoodWorks” which spearheads monthly events including our year end holiday party and our charitable focus for the year, or our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee that drives important change within the firm, we continue to collaborate, think of new ways to give back and continue to create meaningful change within our firm and industry.

Mentorship @ Bousfields

Bousfields fosters a culture of shared knowledge and leadership. Mentorship within the firm is a key success factor in our individual and firm growth. All Bousfielders are assigned a mentee upon hire. Senior team members are engaged in mentoring their colleagues inside of Bousfields and encouraged to assist with external mentorship to support varying professional designations.
