Our Culture and Values
We view culture to be a core difference maker for in-demand people. After all, a big reason why we founded Mara in the first place was to create an environment that is anchored to a set of strong, shared, cultural goals.
Passion, shared values and a desire to provide the best value to the changemakers we serve.
We are committed to cultivating a workplace culture where our team can thrive and grow professionally and personally. We work with clients all across Canada, and we live, work, play and invest in Atlantic Canada. As our name, Mara, suggests, we find purpose by the sea.

Each member of the Mara Team has personal charities and local causes that they support. Our team members are board members, coaches, community and industry association leaders and community volunteers. We also take great pride in giving back as a team through actively participating in charitable fundraising activities and through sponsorships. For example, each year, our team pulls together to support the Parker Street Food and Furniture Bank Holiday Family Sponsorship Program, to make a local family’s Holiday a little bit brighter. We are also active supporters of Feed NS and other charitable causes throughout the year.
