Our Story
PeaceWorks Technology Solutions has always had a goal of providing technology solutions to not-for-profit organizations that were unable to afford large and complex IT support from corporate IT providers. It began as a volunteer opportunity that grew into a business of like-minded individuals that wanted to use their skills for good. Enabling organizations to use computer technology effectively and affordably empowers them to pursue their vision and allows us to adopt a piece of their mission as our own.
Certified B Corp
We are proud to be one of the founding Canadian B Corporations. Certified since 2011, we welcome the opportunity to join a community of like-minded organizations that “use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.” We know that we have joined a growing movement and a community that keeps us accountable for measuring what matters most. This rigorous certification helps us retain our socially-minded vision through the inevitable changes that the future will bring. Watch this video about the B Corp movement to learn more. Listen to our podcast with Social Impact Advisors about this movement and what it means to us.
