What Societe Logique Inc does

Société Logique Inc is a non-profit organization (OBNL) founded in 1981 in Montréal, Quebec, operating as a pioneer in universal design and accessibility consulting for the built environment. The organization provides professional services across six core practice areas: architecture consulting, urban planning, interior design (including home adaptation), urban development, education and training, and representation/advocacy. Its team of architects and urban planning professionals serves individuals with disabilities, municipalities, transit agencies, and public institutions across Quebec, with additional projects across Canada and internationally.

The business model is that of a social economy enterprise: Société Logique generates revenue through project-based consulting engagements with public-sector clients, and all profits are reinvested into its mission of promoting universal accessibility rather than distributed to owners. Its proprietary methodologies include the PPAS AU pedestrian accessibility audit framework (winner of the 2016 Coopérathon in the Montréal intelligent and digital category) and the PPassage Method for urban planning (launched 2019). The organization benefits from extensive partnerships with Quebec government bodies, transit agencies, and disability advocacy organizations, and has played a direct role in shaping provincial accessibility regulations, including the 2018 introduction of universal design requirements in housing construction codes.

Customer engagements span libraries, transit infrastructure (including REM stations in consortium with Lemay Perkins+Will and Provencher-Roy), cultural centers, sports complexes, and municipal public spaces. Named clients include Ville de Montréal, STM, Ville de Laval, Société du Parc Jean-Drapeau, and SAAQ. The organization maintains a small team (1-10 employees) and is actively hiring as of 2025-2026. Pierre-Étienne has served as Director General since December 2021, succeeding Sophie Lanctôt who led the organization for 31 years. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
