BA Consulting Group Ltd.’s Post

June is Pride Month! BA Group is celebrating Pride Month in June and continues to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community values of authenticity, respect, integrity, freedom, community, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Did you know that the rainbow flag, originally designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, has undergone many revisions and variations. The iterations of the rainbow flag continue to influence and inspire through the theme of “progress”. BA Group continues to be committed to providing and celebrating a working environment that allows for equal job opportunities and an 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusive workplace. We highlight events and celebrations in the cities that we are based in: - Festival Weekend for Pride in Toronto is from Friday, June 29th to Sunday, June 30 with many pride events throughout June. - Kitchener local festivities include tri-Pride Summerfest (June 1st) and the 3rd annual Pride Ride (June 7th), which celebrate both Pride Month and Bike Month. - Capital Pride in Ottawa is celebrated from mid to late August!

On February 21st, we celebrated the 90th birthday of one of BA Group's founding principals, Edward Levy. It was a heartwarming occasion as the entire BA Group office came together to celebrate this special milestone, enjoying cake and sharing happy moments together. The celebration was made even more memorable with the presence of distinguished guests. We were honored to host many transportation industry veterans from across the GTA who worked and collaborated with Ed during his career. Thank you to Steve Wickens, Andy Manahan, Marty Collier, Marcy Burchfield, David Crowley, Robert Millward, and Paul Bedford for joining us. Ed was also surprised by Pat Gibson who flew in from Los Angeles for the event. Pat worked closely with Ed in Chicago for Barton Aschman Associates prior to Ed moving to Toronto in 1974 to open the Canadian office which later became BA Group!   In recognition of Ed’s extraordinary legacy and invaluable contributions to BA Group, BA Group’s CEO Mark Jamieson announced that the main boardroom in BA Group’s new Toronto office at 95 St. Clair Avenue West would be proudly named the "Edward J. Levy Boardroom.”   Happy Birthday Ed!

BA Group has moved to a new office at 95 St. Clair West! After a dedicated effort to settle in and refine our new space, we are delighted to share that we are now fully settled and are thoroughly enjoying our collaborative workspace. This transition has prepared us to better serve our clients’ evolving needs with improved facilities. We are ready to continue to provide exceptional service and look forward to welcoming you to our new location!

BA Group/Social Committee hosted a Hot Ones Charity Challenge to fundraise for the Daily Bread Food Bank, leading up to the holiday season. Staff and Principals participated in the event, which resulted in a tie between almost everyone. A total of $1,800 was raised, including BA matching for the Daily Bread Food Bank. Happy Holidays to all!  

BA Bike Month Challenge   We are excited to share that the BA Team recently completed a six-week bike challenge! In total our 24 participants cycled over 1,800 kilometers. This is equivalent to a journey to St. John’s, Newfoundland.   The winning team cycled a total of 940 kms reflecting half of the total kilometers of our entire group. Congrats to Steve Krossey, Tony Yates, Yahya Deen, Pooja Yeola, and Sheila Muir on their cycling achievements. In addition, a special shout out to BA Group’s former CEO Tony Yates who pedaled his new e-bike over 428 kilometers during the bike challenge. Tony is pictured below with his new bicycle. Well done!   Many thanks to all participants and see you next June for another cycling challenge!
