The Stock Transportation team in North Bay was named the winner of the 2020 LOVE Community Values Award, with special recognition going to Champion employee, Sandra Kramer.
The local Stock team beat our 215 other locations from the National Express Group for the award.
The North Bay team has been recognized for its role in supporting their communities by promoting safety awareness.
These programs include Amber School Lights Initiative, community partnerships with local law enforcement, supporting a research partnership with Nipissing University, and working with government agencies of all levels in contingency planning, training, and response to domestic emergencies.
Of particular note for this award, recognized Champion employee, Sandra Kramer, stood ready to assist in the Province of Ontario’s forest fire-fighting efforts by evacuating some of her own neighbours and members of the community in Temagami.
This included Sandra driving and transporting those affected to safety when they were threatened by fires affecting their neighbourhoods during the summer of 2018.
At the same time, Stock’s other drivers provided transportation to fire-fighters throughout the fire ravaged country-side.
Also, their team partnered with the Provincial Emergency Medical Assistance Team (EMAT) to provide support to medical professionals conducting training in the field to prepare for domestic emergencies.
They have also supported municipalities with information related to our capabilities as part of contingency planning for emergency evacuations.
