Urban Impact took delivery of our first all-electric vehicle, a Peterbilt 579EV. Adding this 100% electric truck to the fleet is the start of a transition to an all-electrical trucking fleet. 

What Our Truck Will Do

It’s technically a truck, but we refer to it as the “Tractor”. Our new tractor services many of our commercial customers who require a trailer load of material to be moved from their location to our Lower Mainland New Westminster Plant.

On April 21st, Urban Impact, in support of Project Re-Bounce, picked up another load of used sporting equipment. This event marks the second collection of used sports equipment for the 2025 season. Together the teams successfully diverted used sporting equipment from the landfill across South Vancouver Island.

International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8, 2025. This is a day to celebrate all women, especially those in our work and personal lives. When I reflect on the many women in my work life, I am proud to say many of them are not just work colleagues but also friends. 

At Urban Impact, family is an important tenet of our team and our values. This year, to celebrate Family Day, we want to highlight the amazing married couples that help keep Urban Impact running smoothly. For us, Family Day is an important holiday! 

While there are likely other companies that employ married couples, our five married couples play a unique and impactful role at Urban Impact. These couples work together across the company, helping build and strengthen our culture through strong bonds, trust, and shared values.
