We are proud to recognize and congratulate Jeff Stanley on an outstanding milestone: 35 years with Tomlinson. We had the honour of presenting Jeff with his 35-year jacket, celebrating his longstanding dedication, industry knowledge, and many contributions to our company.

Jeff began his career at the Moodie Scales, where he worked as a scale operator and quickly became known for his strong work ethic, attention to detail, and commitment to supporting both customers and operations. In those early years, Jeff assisted with everything from creating haul rates to assisting customers, while ticketing major projects, including a section of Highway 416 and the Palladium interchange. His experience and leadership later led him into roles in Truck Dispatch and as Scale Supervisor.

With the opening of the Stittsville Quarry, Jeff moved into Aggregate and Asphalt Sales, where he used his customer relationship skills and deep product knowledge to build trust and long-standing relationships with customers. Throughout his career, Jeff has also played an important role in training scale personnel on four different scaling software systems. He served as a subject matter expert during the first stage of Tomlinson’s SAP implementation and helped launch APEX ticketing across our scales, supporting improvements that have had a lasting impact on our customers and operations.

Thank you, Jeff, for your dedication, knowledge, and commitment to our team and customers.
Congratulations on 35 incredible years!

As Mental Health Month comes to a close, we are sharing some of the conversations and the connections we’ve strengthened together, and the impact these actions hold beyond the month of May.

This year’s theme surrounding connection and coming together reminds us that none of us have to face mental health challenges alone, and that sometimes it is the small actions that make some of the biggest positive impacts on others. The everyday moments, like checking in with one another, creating space for open dialogue, and embracing change together, are just as powerful in fostering a culture where everyone feels supported, valued, and connected.

As always, our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available for our team and their families should they require assistance, and offers free, confidential support with mental health, stress, family concerns, and other life challenges. Information needed to access this resource can be found on site job borads, in new hire packages, our EAP hard hat stickers, various mail outs and handouts, through your supervisor or Human Resources, and other organization communications.

Together, we can create a stronger, more connected community that prioritizes mental wellness!

We are excited to celebrate Gage Cote’s remarkable milestone of 15 years with Tomlinson.

Gage, one of our younger yet highly skilled loader operators, has made an incredible impact on everyone he has worked with. His knowledge and team spirit have proven invaluable to his crew members and the company as a whole.

Gage’s journey began with Greenbelt, where he quickly learned the ropes by absorbing knowledge from his peers. His eagerness to learn and grow allowed him to master his skills rapidly. Today, Gage is not only an expert loader operator but also a mentor, passing on his knowledge and experience to newer team members.
His colleagues know him for his good sense of humor and his ability to bring a positive energy to any situation. He is the kind of person people naturally gravitate towards, making him a likeable and essential part of our team.

Congratulations, Gage, on your 15-year anniversary! Your hard work, dedication, and positive attitude have significantly contributed to our success. We are proud to have you as part of the Tomlinson team and look forward to many more years of achievements together.

Thank you, Gage, for your outstanding contributions and for being an essential part of our journey.

We are delighted to congratulate Curtis Gibeault on reaching the significant milestone of 15 years of dedicated service with Tomlinson.

Curtis’s journey with us began in 2011 when he joined Graydex, alongside his father, Kevin Gibeault, just before the acquisition. From the very beginning, Curtis has demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in his role as a deckman. Known for his meticulous nature, Curtis’s organizational skills and keen attention to detail have made him an invaluable member of our team. His commitment to excellence has been evident in every project he has been a part of.

Curtis has had the opportunity to work on many exciting projects over the years, but the ones at the Ottawa Airport hold a special place in his heart. His love for aeronautics made these projects particularly enjoyable, allowing him to combine his professional expertise with his personal passions.

Congratulations, Curtis, on your 15-year anniversary! Your hard work, dedication, and positive attitude have made a significant impact on our team and the company. We are proud to have you as part of the Tomlinson team and look forward to many more years of success together.
