Amilia Named One of Canada's Best Workplaces™ in Technology for 2026: Employees share their experience

Montreal, June 23, 2026 — Amilia, a leading software provider for YMCAs, JCCs, Parks & Recreation agencies, and community organizations across North America, has been recognized as one of Canada's Best Workplaces™ in Technology for 2026 by Great Place to Work® Canada. 

Based entirely on feedback from Amilia employees, the award is more than an industry accolade: it reflects the culture they experience every day and the environment that empowers them to do meaningful work in service of community organizations. From internal surveys led in the past year, 93% of Amilia employees feel proud of their work, their team, and the company. 

The humans behind the technology

While Amilia develops software, employees often describe the company's impact in human terms rather than technical ones.

Every day, the Amilia team builds solutions that help organizations manage registrations, memberships, programs, and community engagement. For many employees, that sense of purpose is what makes the work rewarding. 

“ What I love most about Amilia is the opportunity to work on a product that has a tangible impact. When a client tells us that a feature has saved them weeks of work, it reinforces the value of what we do every day. We're not just building software, we're helping organizations focus on what matters most: people.”

- Noémie Lambert, Software Developer 

A culture built on authenticity

At Amilia, culture is not defined by perks or programs alone. It is reflected in how teams work together, support one another. Across all levels of the business, employees are encouraged to bring their full selves to work. Open communication, psychological safety, and mutual respect create an environment where individuals feel empowered to contribute, grow, as well as challenge ideas constructively. 

“One moment that exemplifies Amilia’s culture occurred before a meeting with a major client: our CEO advised me to be myself and let my personality shine. That level of trust and authenticity is rare. It demonstrates me that at Amilia, who you are is seen as a strength, not something you need to tone down to be successful. When that message comes from leadership, you know it’s deeply rooted in the company’s culture.”

 - Morgane Widmer, Group Product Manager 

Building technology that helps communities thrive

As organizations across North America navigate evolving expectations from their members and participants, Amilia remains focused on delivering technology that simplifies operations while helping organizations strengthen community engagement.

The company's recognition as one of Canada's Best Workplaces™ in Technology reflects a core belief: when employees feel trusted, supported, and connected to a shared purpose, they can make a meaningful impact for the organizations and communities Amilia serves. 

“What makes me most proud to work at Amilia, is how invested we are in our customers’ success. We’re not just building software and walking away: we’re true partners. When a client faces a challenge, we roll up our sleeves, analyze the situation together, and help find the best way forward. Knowing that we’re making a real difference for our customers is incredibly rewarding and makes Amilia a truly special place to work.”

- Alex Morley, Customer Success Lead - YMCA & JCC
