Arthritis Society Canada is proud to share that we have been named a 2025 winner of the Canada’s Most Admired™ Corporate Cultures Award—our third consecutive recognition following previous wins in 2019 and 2022.
This national award, presented by Waterstone Human Capital, celebrates organizations across the country that build and sustain exceptional cultures rooted in performance, collaboration, and leadership. Now in its 22nd year, the program highlights organizations whose workplace culture gives them a meaningful and lasting competitive advantage.
A Three-Time Winner
Being named one of Canada’s Most Admired™ Corporate Cultures for the third time in a row is an extraordinary milestone for our organization. This rare achievement reflects the strength of our shared values and the passion our team brings to improving the lives of the six million people in Canada living with arthritis.
Each year, Waterstone reviews submissions from hundreds of organizations across the country. To once again be recognized among the top 10 cultures in the Broader Public Sector category is a powerful affirmation of the culture we’ve built together, one rooted in collaboration, innovation and an unwavering commitment to impact.
Culture at the Heart of Our Impact
“Our culture is the foundation of everything we do,” says Trish Barbato, President and CEO of Arthritis Society Canada. “To be recognized for a third time is an incredible honour and a true testament to our team. Their passion, innovation and commitment fuel our mission and strengthen our ability to create meaningful change for people living with arthritis.”
At Arthritis Society Canada, our culture is shaped by the values that guide every employee and every leader. We are United in our mission, knowing we are stronger when we work together. We are Impactful, fearlessly pushing forward to achieve meaningful results for the six million people in Canada living with arthritis. And we are Transformative, committed to creating a bold future through innovation, advocacy and unwavering determination.
These values aren’t just words, they’re the driving force behind our work, our decisions and the collective energy of our team. They are what make this recognition possible.
Looking Ahead
We will formally receive our 2025 award at the national Canada’s Most Admired™ Corporate Cultures celebration in March 2026.
As we continue to grow and strengthen our work across the country, this recognition reinforces what we know to be true: when people feel supported, empowered and inspired, they can achieve extraordinary things, together.
