About TEW

As the president of this organization, I feel it is important to address the issue of defensive driving and its significance in ensuring the safety of our employees and the public. In accordance with the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, it is mandatory for all drivers to follow defensive driving practices while operating a motor vehicle on public roads.

Defensive driving is not just a legal obligation, but a moral responsibility that we owe to ourselves and others around us. It involves being alert, vigilant, and proactive while driving, and anticipating potential hazards that may arise on the road. This includes driving at a safe speed, maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles, checking blind spots, and avoiding distractions such as cell phones and other electronic devices.

Furthermore, defensive driving also requires understanding and following the rules of the road as set out in the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. This includes knowing the right-of-way rules, obeying traffic signals and signs, and using turn signals when changing lanes or making turns.

It is important to note that defensive driving is not just for new drivers or those with little experience on the road. Even the most experienced and skilled drivers can benefit from practicing defensive driving, as it helps to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure the safety of everyone on the road.

As an organization, we have a duty of care to ensure the safety of our employees while they are driving for work-related purposes. This means providing training and resources on defensive driving practices, encouraging our employees to take breaks when feeling fatigued, and ensuring that our vehicles are regularly maintained and inspected.

In conclusion, defensive driving is a critical aspect of road safety, and we all have a responsibility to follow these practices. By being proactive and vigilant while driving, we can help to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of everyone on the road. Let us all commit to being responsible and defensive drivers, both on and off the job.

As the president of this organization, I believe that it is important to address the issue of respect and dignity in the workplace. In Canada, these values are enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which recognizes the inherent dignity and worth of every individual and guarantees equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination.

Respect and dignity are essential components of a healthy and inclusive workplace culture. They promote a sense of belonging and help to foster an environment where all employees feel valued, heard, and appreciated. In this spirit, I would like to emphasize the importance of always treating each other with respect and dignity.

This means treating each other with kindness, empathy, and compassion, regardless of differences in age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law. It means avoiding discriminatory language or behavior and creating an environment where everyone feels safe to express themselves without fear of retribution or judgment.

As an organization, we have a responsibility to create a workplace culture that is inclusive and respectful of all individuals. This means providing training and resources to our employees on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and ensuring that our policies and practices reflect these values. It also means taking swift action when we see or hear of behavior that goes against these values.

In conclusion, respect and dignity are fundamental human rights that we must all uphold and protect. As an organization, we are committed to creating a workplace culture that reflects these values and promotes a sense of belonging for all employees. Let us all commit to treating each other with respect and dignity, both in the workplace and in our daily lives.

Sincerely,
