MNP

Meet Alain (he/him), Summer Articling Student, Alberta Providing team members with the tools and support they need to thrive is essential. And this is no different for our summer students. Alain shares his positive experience: “Since being hired last October, I had been looking forward to starting at MNP this summer—and it’s been even better than I imagined. What surprised me the most was how easy it was to integrate into the team. From day one, I was welcomed with warm smiles and open arms. The open-door policy and approachable culture made it easy to ask questions and learn the ropes, no matter how small the inquiry. One piece of advice that’s really stuck with me came from my performance coach: ‘You’re not expected to be perfect right away—everything will make more sense with time.’ That reassurance has helped me stay grounded and motivated as I continue to grow. And with the support I’ve found at MNP, I can’t wait for what lies ahead.” Find your #LifeAtMNP by visiting https://shr.link/qylkm

“The bistro is a great investment in our team members and workplace culture. As we spend more time in the office, the bistro offers a welcoming and relaxed environment where we can reconnect beyond our screens. Whether it’s over a coffee, a quick lunch, or a friendly game of ping pong, it’s a space that encourages conversations, collaboration, and a stronger sense of community. I find this aligns perfectly with MNP’s core value of making time for fun. It’s more than just a place to eat; it’s a space that supports how we connect and thrive together as a team.” − Briya (she/her), Assistant Find your #LifeAtMNP by visiting https://shr.link/qylkm
