The firm cannot have a formal celebration due to the shutdown, the staff reflect on past accomplishments and the changes over the years as part of their milestone.

Cambium was founded in 2006 with nine people offering environmental engineering services from an office in the Fleming Industrial Park.

They expanded in 2010, relocating to a larger office on Hunter Street in East City. Cambium added Geotechnical and Construction Quality Verification to its service suite from a second location on The Queensway in the same year. They have over 130 staff at offices located in Barrie, Oshawa, Kingston and Calgary.

“When we started Cambium 15 years ago, we had no idea that it would become what it is today. We aimed to craft a workplace we would enjoy and seek people that shared our beliefs to join us,” says John Desbiens, CEO and president. “As it turns out, we keep finding those people.”

In the past year, Cambium has been renovating a 25,000 square foot facility at 194 Sophia St. that will merge several Peterborough operations. The renovations and relocation are scheduled to be completed by June this year.
