COVID-19 Response

A Message from the President

The COVID-19 outbreak has gripped the world as countries try to prevent the spread and mitigate the impact of the virus. As Canada, BC and our region begin to understand the virus and how quickly it spreads, drastic, escalating action has been necessary, creating a dynamic, ever changing environment in which we all must navigate.

Sinclar Group’s priority at this time is to protect the health and safety of our employees, their families and our communities. We do not have medical expertise and the company is taking its lead from credible third-party sources, such as the BC Centre for Disease Control (BC-CDC), Province of British Columbia and Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, the Canadian federal government, the US Centers for Disease Control (US-CDC), and the World Health Organization, to determine our response.

Like previous challenges we have faced across Sinclar, the COVID-19 outbreak requires we band to together and support each other during this difficult time. The actions we take today will influence the health of our employees, their families and our communities.

We are all in this together and we will get through this unsettling time. There are difficult days ahead, but I am confident our company will emerge stronger and more resilient than ever.

– Greg Stewart
