Their projects are characterized by ambitious scopes, unusual collaborations, high quality, out-of-the-box thinking and transferable, scalable outputs. Light House directly make change by connecting industry to build a circular economy; catalyzing the advancement of social inclusion and human health; and leading the creation of regenerative built environments.

Light House is a small non-profit of 10 employees located in Vancouver, BC. As Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live, they have committed to a pay structure that ensures livability for employees.

“Light House is committed to providing, at a minimum, a Living Wage for all employees, because we know a Living Wage benefits employees, employers, the community, and the economy. Paying a Living Wage is just one way that we affirm to our staff that we value their work, and care about them and their families.” - Light House

They highly encourage other organizations to commit to paying a Living Wage, not only for the immediate benefits to staff, but for the consequent benefits of investing in your community and giving your organizational endorsement of equitable wages.

Our human-first approach says, “No matter your role at our organization, we will support you in meeting your needs, and the needs of your family”, and that is fundamentally good business. - Light House
