6:00 am
It all depends on my logistics that day. I have 5- and 7-year-old daughters and on the days that my wife works nights as an emergency room nurse, my early morning resembles the amazing race. I usually get the kids dressed, feed them and drop them at pre-care at an early morning hour so I can get to work on time.

My mornings are more easygoing once my kids are set. Once I’m in the office, my morning includes following up with members of our safety team and build teams to check in on initiatives or issues.

I usually start my day on one of our various project sites across the Ottawa area. Quite often I have morning meetings booked. For example, I meet regularly with my director and other managers, our construction coordinator, VP of Construction, and our HR team to discuss matters involving health and safety such as return to work, incidents or incident stats.

My kids describe me as the “guy who keeps workers safe,” and that’s what I try to do. Throughout the day, I’m working on developing new safety initiatives and finding areas in our existing safety programs where we can improve. I spend a lot of time with Builders and other on-site employees to see where I can assist to ensure all safety processes are in place.
