History

Early history

Sunset reflected on MNP Tower in Vancouver

The roots of MNP LLP date back to 1945, when Winnipeg-based Laird, Sprague & Co opened an office in Brandon, Manitoba. The Brandon office became independent in 1957 when the balance of Laird, Sprague joined Montreal's McDonald Currie & Co. (later merging with what is now known as PwC). Ron Meyers acquired full ownership of the Brandon office in 1958, and renamed the firm Meyers Dickens Norris Penny & Co. (MDNP) in 1969.

BC carbon tax grant investigation

On 8 April 2024, British Columbia Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, Josie Osborne, ordered an investigation into MNP's administration of two grant programs funded through the British Columbia Carbon Tax.
