🌡️ EXTREME HEAT ALERT 🌡️

High temperatures are expected across our area, and safety needs to be everyone's top priority.

When working outdoors:
💧 Drink plenty of water throughout the day
🧢 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing
☀️ Take frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas
⏰ Limit strenuous activity during peak heat hours whenever possible
👷 Watch for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke in yourself and your coworkers

Remember, heat-related illnesses can develop quickly. If someone experiences confusion, stops sweating, has a rapid pulse, or loses consciousness, call 911 immediately.

Don't forget about your pets, either—make sure they have access to water and shade, and never leave people or animals in parked vehicles.

Let's look out for one another and make safety our priority during this heat wave.

🚧 SAFETY SUZY'S JUNE SAFETY CORNER 🚧

As summer construction season ramps up, so does the importance of working safely at heights.

This month's Safety Suzy reminder focuses on roof safety and fall protection. Whether you're installing, repairing, inspecting, or accessing a roof, taking a few extra minutes to verify your fall protection, inspect your work area, and secure tools and materials can make all the difference.

At Shouldice, safety isn't just a requirement—it's a commitment we make to our employees, customers, and families every day.

Remember:
✅ Fall protection is required at 6 feet or higher
✅ Use proper guardrails and warning lines
✅ Inspect your work area for hazards
✅ Keep tools and materials secured
✅ Wear appropriate non-slip footwear

Take the time to Plan Ahead. Work Safely. Watch Out for Each Other. Go Home Safe.

Be Happy & Stay SAFE!

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is more than the start of summer or a long holiday weekend. It is a time to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and selflessness of those who gave everything in service to our nation and the freedoms we enjoy every day.

At Shouldice, we are deeply grateful for all who have served and especially for those who never made it home. Their sacrifice made it possible for us to gather with family, build our communities, pursue our livelihoods, and enjoy moments that are too often taken for granted.

We also recognize the tremendous sacrifice carried by military families, whose strength and support continue long after service ends. Today, we remember not only those we lost, but also the loved ones who carry their legacy forward every day.

As we spend time with family and friends this weekend, we encourage everyone to take a quiet moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and the heroes who made those moments possible.

From all of us at Shouldice, thank you to our fallen service members and their families. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

❤️🤍💙

Some people come to work… and some people become part of the heart of it.

Today, we celebrate someone who has done so much more than just a job. Through the years, you’ve given your time, your energy, your loyalty, and a piece of yourself to everything and everyone around you. You’ve been a steady presence, a helping hand, a voice of reason, and a friend to so many.

It’s hard to put into words just how much that means—because it’s not just the work you’ve done, it’s the way you’ve made people feel along the way. You’ve left a mark here that won’t fade, one built on kindness, dedication, and a genuine care for others.

As you step into retirement, we hope you carry with you the pride of everything you’ve accomplished and the knowledge that you truly made a difference. This next chapter is yours—slow mornings, new adventures, time with the people you love, and all the moments you’ve earned a hundred times over.

You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for everything.

Congratulations on your retirement Ronda 💙

At this point, our job trailer officially has more Facebook appearances than some people we know. 😄🚧📸

Every time the weather gets exciting, somehow our trailer ends up becoming the unofficial local storm correspondent. We’re honestly just waiting for someone to interview it next.

“Live on scene behind the famous Shouldice trailer…” 😂

In all seriousness though, as storms move through the area this afternoon, please stay safe and stay weather aware. If you don’t need to be out driving, it’s probably a good day to stay put and let emergency crews, and utility workers safely handle things.

And to all the crews working out in this weather today — be careful, take your time, and watch out for one another. No schedule is worth risking safety.

Also… if you happen to post our trailer online again, please remember it’s sensitive and prefers candid shots from its good angle only. 😄

Throwing it back to a few weeks ago when Tigers Towing was onsite at Shouldice helping perform a transformer lift. ⚡🏗️

Always great working with skilled crews that know how to move the big stuff safely and efficiently. We appreciate the teamwork and professionalism every time.

And let’s be honest… there’s just something about big equipment and heavy lifts that never gets old. 😎

Thanks again to Tigers Towing for the partnership and for sharing these great photos!
