“Our top priorities remain the safety of our workers and maintaining a safe work environment as we continue to work towards the successful completion of this critical Canadian Project. Over the past two months, we have seen safety incidents at our worksites that are unacceptable to Trans Mountain. This is inconsistent with Trans Mountain’s proud safety culture,” says Ian Anderson, President and CEO of Trans Mountain.
“Trans Mountain is proactively taking the step to temporarily stand down construction on the Expansion Project to review, reset and refocus our efforts, and those of our contractors and their workers. We are committed to a strong culture of safety above all else and insist that our Project contractors and subcontractors are equally committed. The critical success of any organization is its ability to self-reflect – to honestly and courageously ask the question, ‘where can we improve?’. This is non-negotiable, we must improve the safety culture and performance on our Project.”
A safety stand down will provide an opportunity for Trans Mountain to engage with its contractors, their staff and Trans Mountain’s employees. Trans Mountain remains diligently focused on the safety of our people and our contractors. We will dedicate this time to ensure all safety management systems are in place, including COVID-19 protocols, to ensure everyone returns to work safely.

ritish Columbia’s top doctor pleaded with people to buckle down and adhere to COVID-19 restrictions a little longer, Wednesday, as the possibility of a vaccine draws nearer. Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry made the plea as the province reported 834 new cases of the coronavirus on Wednesday, along with a dozen new deaths. It marked the ninth straight day the province has seen double-digit coronavirus deaths. The United Kingdom became the first country in the world to approve Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday. Henry said B.C. would be ready to get it to high-risk groups as soon as the shot was cleared in Canada — potentially within weeks. “I’m asking you all to continue and to do a little bit more, to do our part to slow the spread in our communities, in our families, in our loved ones, in our workplace until vaccines are available for all of us,” Henry said.
