We’re continuing Behind the Paddle: a series showcasing just a few of the talented Traffic Control personnel who help to keep the public and our crews safe.
Meet Ivy Thompson from Universal Group.
If you’ve been on one of our sites, chances are you’ve seen Ivy in action keeping things moving, keeping people safe, and doing it all with a great attitude. She’s reliable, consistent, and someone our crews can count on day in and day out.
From managing traffic flow to looking out for our crews and the public, Ivy plays a huge role in making sure everyone gets home at the end of the day. This is what professionalism looks like.

Earlier this month, our team had so much fun supporting the BMO Vancouver Marathon, organized by RUNVAN!🏃♂️
We were proud to be part of such an exciting community event, helping support traffic control and event safety throughout the day.
From the energy of the runners to the dedication of the volunteers and organizers, it was amazing to see the city come together for such a memorable event.

🦺 As part of Health and Safety Week, we are highlighting an important reminder about PPE today!
Proper PPE helps protect traffic control persons and the crew. Taking a few moments to check your gear can make a big difference in the field.
• Here are a few key things to remember:
• Always ensure your PPE is clean.
• Check that the retroreflective material is visible and not damaged.
• Always wear gloves to protect your hands and enhance visibility.
• Make sure your boots have no holes.
• Check that the soles of your boots still have proper tread.
Staying safe starts with the basics.

A recent installation on Hwy 1 near Revelstoke, BC added an important roadside safety solution designed to help reduce the severity of impacts and improve protection in high-risk areas.
Installations like this play an important role in protecting drivers, supporting roadside safety, and helping create safer conditions for everyone on the road. Great work to the team on another successful installation.

We are committed to the health, safety, and security of all employees and visitors. In recognition of that commitment, we ask every worker to pause each year on April 28 at 11:00 a.m. to remember those who have lost their lives, as well as those who continue to suffer from a work-related injury or illness, with their lives and livelihoods forever changed.
The National Day of Mourning is not only a time to remember and honor those affected by workplace tragedy, but also an opportunity to renew our collective commitment to improving workplace health and safety and preventing further injuries, illnesses, and deaths.
We pause to remember, but we must never pause our prevention efforts.
