Our corporate values reflect the importance of our employees’ safety and their wellbeing: Everyone goes home to their families at the end of their shift – EVERYONE GOES HOME. Period.
Since March of 2020, we have all been battling a global pandemic. Heddle Shipyards was fortunate to have been deemed an essential business, so we were allowed to continue to operate when many businesses could not do so. That being said, our decision to remain open was contingent upon our ability to keep our people, suppliers, subcontractors, customers and their families safe. Since the onset of the pandemic, our entire company has rallied to ensure that everything possible is being done to remain safe.
The pandemic is not over.
Across Canada and the world, many families are dealing with loss and hardship as a result of the virus. We must remain diligent in order to ensure our continued safety. Going forward this webpage will be used as a platform to provide updates and direction on how we will continue to ensure our safety in the face of COVID-19.
Thank you to all of our employees who have been on the front lines from the beginning of this ordeal and thank you to our visitors – past, present and future that respect our protocol to ensure our collective safety.
