Our Company
Veritas is passionate about the environment and sustainability. This has led us to pursue infill projects to help the City meet its Climate Action Plan goals.
We are industry leaders in developing new energy-efficient quality homes and strive to be respectful of the local communities we build in through engagement and consultation.
Our Mission
Rejuvenate mature neighbourhoods with safe and beautiful homes
Old homes in mature neighborhoods are often riddled with issues like asbestos, radon gas, crumbling foundations, and inefficient heating and cooling. Without significant and costly improvements, these neighborhoods are often left to decay. We strive to build safe and beautiful homes that attract new families to the neighborhood.
Significantly reduce greenhouse gasses by replacing old homes with new energy efficient ones
Building homes which exceed current energy efficiency requirements is not only good for the environment – it saves the occupant money in heating and cooling costs. This is one of the main goals of Winnipeg’s Climate Action Plan. And is more important than ever with the increasing costs of energy.
Reduce urban sprawl and Winnipeg's large carbon footprint
Building new energy-efficient homes revitalizes mature neighbourhoods. Using existing infrastructure saves costs to the city, and helps to slow down urban sprawl. This benefits the existing communities, saves green space and is also our environmental responsibility.

Our Team
At Veritas Development Group, we are a close-knit team passionate about what we do. Our team works hard to design, build, rent, manage and maintain our properties. We encourage feedback from our renters so we can constantly improve our process, and resolve tenant issues quickly and efficiently.
