Marketplace Chaplains
/in Announcement, Corporate News, Uncategorized /by Dean RichardsOne of Denbow’s company values is ‘Community’. This encompasses the community in which we do business in, as well as the community of Denbow employees. Owner Bill Boesterd places a high value on people and because of this, he has enlisted Marketplace Chaplains Canada to help provide ‘Exceptional Employee Care’.
Marketplace Chaplains Canada provides care for Denbow employees and their families. Our chaplains visit Denbow once a week, checking in with employees and making themselves available. Employees are encouraged to utilize the chaplains if they need to talk about anything – issues at work, in their personal life, or if a crisis situation arises. The professionally trained and experienced Chaplains build relationships of trust and confidence and are on call at all hours to help out with any life issues. Bill tells his employees “I hope this provides an opportunity for you to be heard around concerns or suggested improvements, for you and your family to be cared for during a tough time, and a host of other care opportunities.”

Remembrance Day
/in Announcement, Corporate News, Uncategorized /by Dean RichardsRemembrance Day… What does it mean to you?
Do you have a connection with a soldier who has fought for our freedom?
This year, Remembrance Day is especially meaningful to me. I recently travelled to Europe and while there I visited some World War II sites. My small glimpse into the devastation and destruction of war has given me a little more understanding of the terrible experiences soldiers faced. My appreciation of the sacrifices that the Allied troops made for our freedom is much greater now.
I visited a number of sites significant in World War 2 in various places (museums, cemeteries, concentration camp & memorials) as well as learned about a family member who was involved in the Dutch Resistance. A great-uncle who I never had the privilege of knowing because he was captured & killed by the Germans.

The Story of Change
/in Green Infrastructure, Municipal and Infrastructure Journal, Uncategorized /by Dean RichardsLast week we brought you the Story of Stuff video.
Today we follow up with the Story of Change. This video “takes viewers through an inspiring exploration of what effective changemaking has looked like through history—from Gandhi in India to the US Civil Rights movement to the environmental victories of the 1970s—and shares the things you’ll find whenever people get together and change the world: a big idea, a commitment to working together, and a whole lot of action. She also let’s viewers know that making change will take all kinds of people, offers a series of changemaker identities and ends the movie with a question for viewers: Which are you?”
