During the last quarter of 2020, our Belleville, Ontario technical services teams moved from their individual locations to a new office. This consolidated all teams in the region under one brand and one roof, to better serve our customers. In addition, our Barrie, Ontario service will be moving to a brand-new facility, with up-to-date technologies that will be implemented during the first quarter of 2021. These new offices and consolidations will ensure our efficiency and that we remain our customers' Trusted Partner in Power™.

Located in Oakville, Ontario, the facility is scheduled for completion in 2022 and will incorporate a state-of-the-art training center, as well as sustainability features that include solar panels on the roof, battery storage, electric vehicle charging stations, and a living wall. We can’t wait to move in!
