Our Company
Our History
Acadia Engineering started as Equity Property Management in Belleville, Ontario. Equity was focused on real estate holdings and land development engineering.
In 2021 Equity rebranded as Acadia Engineering, and started its growth trajectory, with its operations focused on the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Eastern Ontario.
Acadia branched into the British Columbia market in 2025, adding 3 new offices and offering our great services to more clients.
Our meaning
We wanted a company name that reflected a piece of Canadian history itself.
The region of Acadia, now known as Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Gaspésie, and parts of Maine, were the landing grounds for immigrants to Canada from as far back as the 17th century. The British North America Act created the Dominion of Canada on July 1st, 1867.
During the Seven Years' War, Acadia was a New-France colony which claimed to be neutral in war, however and in spite of everything, a 'Great Expulsion' was carried out between 1755 and 1764 where Acadians were relocated by British forces for military purposes. Many Acadians perished.
Through their resiliency, Acadians returned and still live in the regions of Acadia today and many Canadians have Acadian background in their blood - including Acadia Engineering Inc. founders.
Our logo incorporates the Maple Leaf emblem to show our Canadian identity. A blue surveying tripod level is worked into the 'A' to represent our steadfast dedication to civil engineering.
