OUR STORY
Built on Nuclear. Evolved Through Innovation.
In 1957, engineering partners Ian Martin and Mary Masson founded a consulting practice to support Canada’s emerging nuclear power industry. When a major project was unexpectedly cancelled, they made a defining decision: instead of letting their engineers go, they redeployed them by contracting their expertise to other organizations.
That instinct — to stay agile and put people first — became the foundation of Raise.
