I am incredibly proud of how our teams, leaders and Directors adapt, innovate, and implement solutions to ensure our business is able to balance our existing operations with growth.

Wishing our clients and project partners a happy Christmas and a safe and hopeful New Year and extend another warm thank you to our Teams who have gone above & beyond to deliver exceptional work.

Celebrating International Men’s Day
International Men's Day is an annual day of recognition to appreciate the positive contributions of men in society and the importance of effective male role models. Conversations about men’s issues are complex and humour can serve as a helpful icebreaker, and open doors to deeper and necessary conversations. Take a moment this International Men's Day to appreciate the men in our lives, their achievements and their resilience and vulnerability. By infusing a bit of humour, we may foster an environment where deeper conversations can flourish, breaking down stereotypes and promoting understanding.
As today is also World Toilet Day (to improve sanitation and water access for everyone driven by the UN), BSE has brought together our team’s greatest toilet jokes in honour of these two days.
