Norland Limited

Apex and Pro-Tech (once again) adopted a street to help take care of their community! They strive to become better each year, aiming for more volunteers to come out and help clean their streets. Apex and Pro-Tech value their team's passion for helping their business become more successful - not just with revenue, but in terms of kindness and meaningful impact, too! Many of the Apex and Pro-Tech team members had the opportunity to learn about B-Corp, and the team is proud to say that they are all "change agents" for their business.

NorLand Limited put together a fine squad to play a charity hockey game vs. CFOX (99.3 The Fox) radio station this past week.

The game raised money towards Children’s Hospital and their musical therapy program.

NorLand edges out CFOX in a nail biter.  Great work team!

Anthony Bagaric recently received his BC Heavy Duty Equipment Technician Certificate of Qualification with Red Seal Endorsement from Training Coordinator Joe Bagri. In living the value "Every Person Deserves to Grow," Anthony had been working with Traxxon Rock Drills to complete his apprenticeship. Anthony's father - Tom Bagaric - also works for NorLand Limited. Tom is the manager for Pacific Blasting and Demolition's Cutting and Coring division. 

One of NorLand’s core values is “Everyone Goes Home Safe.” This was truly acted upon last month when two people found themselves in distress on Grouse Mountain a few days before the Holidays.

On Monday December 9^th,  LNS held their first annual business unit Christmas Party in the NorLand Stores warehouse. Over the last few months, one of LNS’ initiatives had been to bridge the gap between ‘field’ and ‘office’ staff and provide a more family-like structure for all of their employees.

All employees and labor subcontractors were personally invited to attend the holiday celebration. Nearly all the event’s food was prepared by LNS office staff, including four main course options, salad, cheesecake, and dozens of cookies and tarts.

This year, multiple NorLand businesses decided to give back to the community and embrace the season of giving by Adopting a Family. 

Every Christmas, NorLand collects food and monetary donations for the Food Bank. This year, NorLand set a goal of $5000 and surpassed it by raising a total of $5,964.92! These funds were comprised of:

• $2,575.00 in monetary donations from employees;
• $2,500.00 in a monetary donation from NorLand; and
• $889.92 of dry goods donation, which is 17 boxes!

But that isn’t where the success ends. Since NorLand’s monetary donations have a buying power of 3:1, the true impact made this year was $16,114.92!

Over the past year, Apex and Pro-Tech have been working closely with our NorLand Impact and Sustainability team to find ways to use the power of business as a force for good.  Together, we have taken the steps to be more involved with our community in creating a meaningful impact. 

Each year, our BCIT Scholarship Recipients are invited to join us at NorLand for a celebratory lunch. This year, we had five of our six recipients come together to celebrate their accomplishments, challenges, and discuss what they have learned throughout the past year.

We are very grateful to be able to support such wonderful people entering the construction industry, and help them grow their networks together. These lunches allow us to live many of Our Values out loud, and bring together people who are growing, learning, and innovating.

On December 2^nd and 3^rd, 33 of NorLand’s B.C. and Alberta team members were invited by President/CEO, Dave Reynolds, to attend the Art of Leadership conferences held in downtown Vancouver and Calgary, respectively. The Art of Leadership seminar and speakers respond to challenges impacting leaders and leadership functions. From actionable ideas to innovative strategies, it is designed to provide leaders with directly relatable and easily applied tools and techniques for implementation within any corporate culture.
