Every year, SMACNA congratulates its members for their outstanding performance in occupational safety and health through SMACNA’s Safety Excellence Award Program (SSEAP), presented annually at the national convention. 2022 represented another banner year as the latest safety survey results show that safety and health continue to be a high priority for SMACNA contractors. SMACNA-BC executive director Jeremy Hallman proudly accepted the Canadian SSEAP award on behalf of Modern Niagara of Toronto, Ontario, at the 2022 convention. “Safety is a top priority at Modern Niagara because it is our goal to be the employer of choice for great tradespeople and professionals,” said Modern Niagara CEO Brad McAninch. “In order to accomplish that goal, we absolutely have to provide, not just a safe physical environment, but also a healthy mental and emotional environment for employees.” 

Congratulations, Modern Niagara! ■
