June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to recognize and celebrate the cultures, histories, contributions, and enduring strength of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

This month, we’re taking time to listen, learn, and recognize the Indigenous Peoples and communities across the places we work. We’re committed to building real relationships—grounded in respect, collaboration, and long-term partnership—on and off our project sites.

As we reflect on the past and look toward the future, we remain focused on showing up in a good way and supporting shared success.

Congratulations to Robert Murray of Universal Rail on receiving a Metrolinx Good Catch Recognition!

While removing flags on the Oakville Subdivision, Robert observed a young child placing ballast rocks on the rail. Robert immediately responded by directing the child out of the rail corridor, removing the ballast from the tracks, and notifying the RTC desk of the potential hazard to ensure the area remained monitored.

Robert’s quick thinking, situational awareness, and care for the safety of the surrounding community helped prevent a potential incident and reflect the strong safety culture upheld across our operations.

Great catch, Robert, and thank you for continuing to put safety first.

April 28 marks the National Day of Mourning, a time to remember and honour workers who have lost their lives, been injured, or become ill as a result of their work.

Across our industry and communities, this day is a reminder that behind every job site is a person, a family, and a life that matters. We pause to reflect on those we’ve lost and stand with those who continue to feel the impact of workplace incidents.

At Universal Rail, safety is not just a priority, it is a responsibility we carry every day. We are committed to fostering a culture where every employee goes home safe, and where looking out for one another is part of how we work.

Today, we remember and renew our commitment to safer workplaces for all.
