Diversity & Inclusion at Wilcox Door Service
Wilcox is proudly Indigenous-owned. That shapes how we think about who belongs here — and our answer is everyone who shows up, works hard, and treats people right. We’ve built a team that reflects the communities we work in, and we’re intentional about keeping it that way.
A Workplace Where Everyone Has a Real Shot
Being Indigenous-owned isn’t a marketing line for us — it’s the foundation of how we operate. We actively recruit from Indigenous communities, prioritize suppliers who share our values, and make sure leadership at every level reflects the diversity of our workforce. Our people know they’re here because they’re good at what they do, and they know they’ll be supported to grow.
Representation at Every Level

- Our ownership reflects a range of cultural backgrounds including Indigenous (Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation), Trinidadian, and Scandinavian heritage
- 66% of our leadership team identifies as diverse
Inclusive Workforce
- 40% of our total workforce is from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds
- 46% of our office team identifies as women, and we are committed to growing this across all departments
Celebrating Our Team's Cultures
