We work hard to create a safe environment that cultivates inclusivity and fair access to opportunities, where diversity of thought, background and lived experiences are celebrated and valued.
DIFFERENT TOGETHER
Initiatives
To hold ourselves accountable to this goal, we have implemented the following:
Life@Level5
Life@Level5 is the engine that drives key aspects of Level5’s culture. The team plans, organizes, and facilitates firm-wide corporate events that bring our people together for a chance to connect and have fun!
This includes events like:
-
Annual Cottage Day
One day a year, our team goes up north for a retreat in Ontario’s cottage country – great times are always had
-
Level5 After 4s
In the spirit of our laugh and learn culture, our whole team gets together one Thursday every month for team-building activities – this gives our people opportunities to learn more about each other outside of work
-
Level5 Day
Every year on Level5’s anniversary, we get together to celebrate all the firm’s accomplishments as well as the people that make this place so great

Annual Holiday Party
Level5’s Holiday Party is a famous annual celebration and is a cornerstone of our culture
