Today, we take time to listen, reflect, and remember.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the generations who continue to carry the impact of that history.

Working across Northwestern Ontario means having the privilege of working in and alongside many Indigenous communities. With that comes a responsibility to listen, to learn, to build relationships with respect, and to understand that reconciliation is something we all have a role in.

Today is a day to remember the past, but also to think about how we move forward together with greater understanding, respect, and care.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

The power stays on. The work still gets done.

Our crew was out completing live line work, taking on the kind of job that calls for experience, precision, and a whole lot of trust in the people working beside you.

From the crews in the buckets to the team on the ground, everyone has a role to play in getting the job done safely and getting it done right.

It's specialized work, and it's work we're proud to do. ⚡

She’s a quick learner who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, take on new challenges, or jump in wherever she’s needed. Her eagerness to learn and grow in the trade has made her a valued member of the Northline crew.

Meet Steven 👋

Steven Fraser has been with Northline since day one, and if there’s a job that needs doing, chances are he’s ready to jump in.

Now a 3rd-year apprentice, Steven has become a bit of a jack of all trades around here. He brings a strong work ethic to every job, asks the right questions, and takes pride in doing things properly and safely.

He’s also someone the rest of the crew can count on. Whether he’s sharing what he knows, lending a hand, or helping someone figure something out, Steven is always willing to step up.

We’ve watched him learn a lot over the years, and now he’s helping others do the same.

Glad to have you on the crew, Steven. ⚡

One of the best parts of what we do is getting the chance to share it with the next generation.

Earlier this year, Northline was proud to join Wataynikaneyap Power and fellow industry partners for their first Powerline Trades Career Exploration Day at the IHSA training site in Thunder Bay.

42 students from Westgate Collegiate and Vocational Institute spent the day getting a firsthand look at the powerline industry through bucket truck demonstrations, pole climbing, safety training, ground-level fuse switching, a pole-top rescue demonstration, and plenty of conversations with people working in the industry.

Days like this give students a chance to ask questions, try something new, and see where a career in the skilled trades could take them.

Hearing afterward that students called it one of the most engaging field trips they'd been on made the day that much better.

A big thank you to Wataynikaneyap Power for bringing this event together, to every organization and industry partner who shared their time and knowledge, and of course, to the students who showed up ready to learn.

We're proud to have played a small part in it, and we're looking forward to seeing where opportunities like this lead next.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the wildfires across Northwestern Ontario. ❤️

These fires have hit close to home. Members of our team have family and friends who have been impacted, including those who have lost their homes, camps, and places filled with cherished memories. It is heartbreaking to witness the devastation these fires are causing throughout our region.

To the firefighters, emergency responders, volunteers, and everyone working tirelessly to protect our communities - thank you. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice do not go unnoticed.

To everyone who has been evacuated or affected in any way, please know that you are in our thoughts. We stand with you and the many communities facing these incredibly difficult circumstances.

Please stay safe, take care of one another, and continue to follow updates and directions from local emergency officials.

Northwestern Ontario isn't just where we work.

It's where we live, where we spend our weekends, and where we raise our families.

It's the roads we know, the communities we care about, and the region we're proud to be a part of.

That local connection matters. It shapes how we approach every project, every partnership, and every community we have the opportunity to work in.

We're proud to call the North home, and even prouder to help build the infrastructure that keeps it connected.
