A Workplace Built on Belonging, Powered by People

At Wilcox Door Service Inc., we believe that our people are our greatest strength. As an Indigenous-owned, family-operated business with deep cultural roots, we’ve built a workplace that thrives on diversity, equity, and inclusion. These are not just principles we talk about — they’re the foundation of our day-to-day operations, decisions, and future goals.

We recognize that different perspectives drive innovation, and that inclusion fosters trust, collaboration, and long-term success. That’s why we are actively building an environment where every voice matters and every person can thrive.
