On November 11, we observe Remembrance Day. It is a time to pause, reflect, and honour those who have served.

The red poppy remains a powerful symbol of remembrance. It grew among the graves of soldiers on the Western Front during the First World War and continues to represent the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Armed Forces. The poppy is also the principal emblem of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Just like that, the clocks changed back an hour, and the weather changed to rain and wind.  With the arrival of fall, and darker days, Urban Impact would like to remind ourselves and our customers on some precautions we need to take ensure our drivers, trucks and communities stay safe. 

Part 2 of our Fall Safety Guide focuses on weather, darkness & road conditions.  Safety is an ongoing focus, and our drivers receive comprehensive training to handle seasonal hazards. 

Changing Road Conditions

When darkness starts earlier, and pumpkins start popping up on front porches, the spooky season is upon us once again! Halloween is creeping up fast. Dressing up in costumes, hoarding candy and putting up decorations makes it one of the most fun times of year, and is also one of the most wasteful. 

The Blue Bin Halloween Safety Blog is your resource to help you do your part to make Halloween more sustainable with a few simple tricks and treats.

Costumes: Reuse, Swap, Don’t Toss

At Urban Impact, we think of safety all the time! In fact, it’s our number priority in everything we do. In late summer and early fall, Urban Impact’s Safety Team conducts a refresher course for our employees on the importance of safety. 

In this two-part series, we like to share our key messaging to our drivers and other team members, remind all of us on precautions we need to take, and the actions Urban Impact takes to ensure our drivers, trucks and communities stay safe.
