“All the trades that I worked with were very friendly... they never made me feel like I wasn’t supposed to be there... they wanted to teach me,” says Khate Julie Magne, who worked on the Humber Lakeshore Cultural Hub project.   Khate had the opportunity to work alongside labourers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and sheet metal workers. However, it was her experience working alongside Nicholas Parrotta, Senior Superintendent at EllisDon, that truly inspired her and left a lasting impression on Khate, igniting a passion within her to pursue a career in the construction industry that emulates his success. Watch Khate’s story below.  If you're interested in learning more about the STEP To Construction program and our commitment to shaping the future generation of skilled tradespeople, read more here: https://lnkd.in/eVGAWBDt #STEPToConstruction #BuildingForBetter #SkilledTrades #YouthInConstruction #LabourShortage

Today is #NationalInjuryPreventionDay, and at EllisDon, we're committed to creating a safer workplace for all those who work on our sites.     Our teams work hard to maintain a safe environment and are constantly looking for ways to reduce risks and enhance safety.

Each perspective creates an opportunity to educate one another about injury prevention.    At EllisDon, we believe the key to safety is remembering our "why." Safety isn't just a priority on the job – it's a commitment we carry into our personal lives as well. Whether it's for our families or our friends, let's keep our "why" at the forefront. Together, we can ensure a safe environment for everyone.    View the highlights of the 5 Points of PPE below and to learn more, visit: https://lnkd.in/g6BXzMT8     #ParachuteNIPD #SafetyFirst #ThisIsMyEllisDon #NIPD24 #injuryprevention #workplacesafety
