APM Canada Helps Raise Nearly $20,000 for Niagara Health Foundation

While on site to provide a 7FA major inspection, exhaust upgrade, and a generator swap for Thorold Cogeneration Station at Northland Power in Ontario Canada, APM Canada participated in an exciting joint activity to raise funds for charity along with keeping all craft and site workers engaged in Toolbox Talks and safety discussions.

Reflections... STOP Culture
Reflections... STOP Culture

APM Team,

Good execution thus far this outage season. With the exception of a rough couple days in early October when we had two craft injuries, we have kept our people 100% safe thus far this fall. There may be a number of reasons why, and I assure you we will dive deep in reviewing this fall to learn why in prep for the spring. One reason why that is on my mind right now is our STOP culture.

Reflections... Labor Day

Labor Day

This coming Monday is Labor Day. The U.S. Department of Labor states that Labor Day “constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.” APM especially values this day because it was started in the unions as a day to commemorate hard work. All of your dedication and hard work throughout this “unprecedented” (we seem to use this word a lot now) year is very much appreciated.

This day is dedicated to all of the hard workers – YOU. On behalf of our APM family, THANK YOU for your commitment in time, energy, and perseverance.
