The building show is North America's leading networking and educational event! The show has been running for over thirty years! 

It is a place where project management professionals and experts (in all fields such as design, construction, renovation, etc.) all come together to learn, lead, and feel empowered. 

This year, we are sponsoring the networking lounge. So do not miss this opportunity to network with us and grab a few drinks along the way. We'd love to chat with you! 

P.S. We can be found at the exhibitor booth #739

Have you ever seen someone hurting the environment but didn’t know what to do about it? Don't turn a blind eye, it's extremely simple! 

Approximately 30% of our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are absorbed by the remaining forests and land ecosystems. However, new studies are showing that the increasing global temperatures might transform these natural “sinks” into carbon “sources”. 

Post-covid lockdowns, companies are given a rare opportunity to change or reset working models for their employees; it will be a vital question they’ll need to answer as the world starts to pick back up from the pandemic. Will they allow their employees to continue working from home? Will they require employees to return to the office? Will they opt to choose a hybrid model? 

It seems intuitive to assume that working remotely is clearly better for the environment. But one must look at the whole picture before coming to this conclusion. 

The smoke released from forest fires causes very poor air quality and drastically reduces visibility. The northwestern Ontario fires in summer of 2021 (which increased in quantity when compared to previous years) led to high levels of air pollution in southern Ontario due to atmospheric circulation. This is not good for us at all.

With Safetech’s line of work in Environmental Services, undoubtedly we have field technicians who find themselves in heavily wooded and vegetated areas.

A recent study published in the Natural Communications journal from the Technical University of Munich, suggests that organic meat production produces approximately the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions as conventional meat production methods. 

Perhaps you’re going to an interview soon or you just want to be better at speaking with others. Well you are in luck! Let me give you my tips and tricks in communication that I learned while working at Safetech. 

A nice reminder that we all need to stop letting our internal pessimist keep us from taking control of our lives.

A Study published in late 2020 found keeping your camera off is actually better for the environment!

The Ontario government is launching a new online tool that allows the public to easily report any pollution they have witnessed. 

Before you browse over the air purifier market, let us make some suggestions:

Asbestos was popular for being used in building up homes and buildings but did you know it was also used as decoration for the winter season. 

Gardening is not just an amazing hobby that brings about aesthetic scenery and healthy foods, it also has several benefits for the environment: 

As a product of everyday society and education, we come from a system of punishment and penalization, but simple changes can help us see value in our successes. 

Of the consequences associated with oil spills including the social, economic, and political consequences, the environmental consequence of oil spills are ultimately the main concern. The following are examples of how oil spills can wreak the environment. 

Net-zero emissions means we either no longer emit greenhouse gases or we offset our unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions with anthropogenic removals. How will Safetech achieve our own net-zero targets?

Let’s be honest, getting from Point A to Point B in Toronto SUCKS. Whether you are stuck in traffic congestion on the 400 series highways or banging your head against the pole on the TTC, transportation options in Toronto are rough.
