RVA Maintains its Status as One of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 2026

Toronto, May 19, 2026 – R.V. Anderson Associates Limited (RVA), a Canadian engineering consulting firm, has once again been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 2026.

Launched over 30 years ago, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program is the country’s leading business awards program that recognizes overall business performance and sustained growth, financial performance, and efforts of an entire organization.

Since first being recognized in 2008, RVA has been named a Best Managed company every year since 2010 and has maintained Platinum Club status since 2014. The company recognizes this milestone as a symbol of teamwork, dedication, and consistency shared by team members at all levels.

Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation from program sponsors and special guests. For RVA, this designation reflects more than a single year of results as it speaks about how we have been managed over time, through changing market conditions, evolving client expectations, and the day-to-day demands of running a growing organization.

“We’ve worked to stay focused on what matters, even when conditions change. This recognition reinforces the value of that approach. Our priority is not rapid change, it’s about steady progress, strengthening what works, addressing what doesn’t, and maintaining a long-term perspective.” Kim Sayers, RVA’s Vice President, Water.

Over the past several years, RVA has focused on strengthening the fundamentals of its organization. That has included but is not limited to refining strategies, investing in internal capabilities, and maintaining a disciplined approach to growth through strategic hires and diversification. As an employee-owned organization, a key part of that approach has been investing in its people and equipping team members to make decisions and take ownership. This recognition highlights the alignment between these areas and the consistency with which they have been executed.

Thank you to team members, clients, partners, and the communities we serve – this recognition would not be possible without you.
