Connect Group Inc.

🦺 Safety Through Learning, Leadership & Continuous Improvement

As we move through the second half of 2026, Connect Group remains committed to strengthening our Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) performance and ensuring safety remains at the forefront of everything we do.

Our Q3 and Q4 priorities include advancing Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles, strengthening workforce competency, managing critical risks, preparing for seasonal hazards, and maintaining strong leadership engagement in the field.

A key part of this commitment is continuing to build a strong learning culture - one where open communication, active worker participation, and meaningful conversations about risk help us learn, improve our systems, and make better decisions.

👏 Thank you to our teams for continuing to look out for one another, speak up when something doesn’t seem right, and demonstrate a commitment to safe work every day.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility, and together, we’re building a safer and stronger Connect Group.

At Connect Group, our people are what set us apart. 💙

Today we're celebrating two team members who continue to make a meaningful impact across our organization.

🌟 Amber Sears, Accounting Technician, has grown alongside CGI since 2022, playing a key role in the successful implementation of Sage Intacct while continuing to expand her accounting expertise. Her dedication to continuous improvement, problem-solving, and process excellence helps strengthen our business every day.

🌟 Rebecca Couillard, Onboarding Coordinator, has made an immediate impact since joining the team, bringing a passion for supporting people, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a collaborative approach to everything she does.

We're proud to invest in people who embrace growth, support one another, and make a difference both within our organization and throughout our community.

Thank you, Amber and Rebecca, for everything you do! 👏

Today, the Fort McMurray CGI team was proud to participate in the CAREERS Young Women in Trades and Technologies Amazing Race Camp, hosting a challenge and roadblock for three teams of participants. During their visit, they learned about the importance of PPE and explored the trade-specific tools and equipment that help keep skilled trades professionals safe on the job.

We're committed to introducing our next generation of trades professionals to safe work practices that build confidence, protect workers, and support workforce development - today and for the future 💙👷‍♀️🔧

🌧️ Rain or shine, Rock The Rails 2026 delivered an unforgettable weekend.

Friday’s rain cleared just in time for registration and the skate competitions, and the park quickly filled with incredible energy. Saturday brought delays due to weather, but the riders were ready to drop in at a moment’s notice, proving the event’s spirit never slowed down.

From the skate comp packed with talented young riders, to the vendor booths, to an all-star music festival all in one place, Rock the Rails once again showed what makes this event special: a community that shows up no matter the forecast.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out, competed, performed, volunteered, and supported the weekend. 🎸🛹👏

We cant wait to be back for our THIRD year!!!! Rider registration for Rock The Rails is officially live 🤘💥

The putting green just got a little more competitive.

We’re excited to welcome Connect Group as the official Putting Challenge Sponsor for the 2026 Toolbox Open.

Connect Group’s commitment to strong relationships, safe ex*****on, and community impact lines up perfectly with what this event is all about.

Every putt, every sponsor, and every player helps support local organizations making a real difference in Fort McMurray.

Thank you, Connect Group, for helping us swing for something bigger.

Today, we came together as a community to recognize Red Dress Day, a day that honours and raises awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people. The red dresses serve as a powerful visual reminder of those who are missing, those we have lost, and the ongoing impacts of violence faced by Indigenous communities across Canada.

A heartfelt thank you to Athabasca Tribal Council, the Elders for their prayers, Presenters, Drummers, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, and all the organizers who made the Red Dress Solidarity Walk at Kiyām Community Park so meaningful. It was a powerful day of reflection, learning, and connection - one that reinforces the importance of listening, honouring lived experiences, and continuing the work toward truth, justice, and safety for all.
