Our company was recognized for many years by the National Quality Institute (now Excellence Canada) with their Gold Trophy in Quality and multiple Order of Excellence in Quality awards. This latest award as a Canada's Best Managed Company continues Verve's award-winning history and acknowledges the experience, expertise, innovation and commitment of our team members & leaders. Our company is always looking to make the experience not only positive for our Residents, but also for all other stakeholders through constantly reviewing, monitoring and learning from previous experiences.

In addition, the 2023 cohort of Best Managed Companies shares common themes such as having a people centric culture, targeting effective ESG strategies, and accelerating operational digitization.
