More Community Impact

As an employer, homebuilder, and rental housing provider, at Minto Group, we understand our deep responsibility to the people whose lives we touch.

We recently caught up with J.P. St-Amand, Director, Health and Safety (H+S), Security and Business Continuity for Minto’s Canadian operation. J.P. is responsible for overseeing the Canadian health and safety and security functions and business continuity planning across Minto operations, promoting a healthy and safe culture in the workplace as well as supporting Minto’s critical services during an operational interruption or disruption.

At Minto, our belief in the importance of recognition and appreciation forms the foundation of our organizational ethos. We appreciate the contributions of each employee and the diverse perspectives they bring to the table. This blog explores the many ways we honour and encourage employees across Canada through a range of events and activities all year long.

Over the last few years, we have witnessed a growing desire among our employees for recognition, an acknowledgment of their needs, and a deeper connection at the human level.

It’s no surprise that mental health has taken on increased importance over the last few years. Stresses related to the pandemic such as job loss, health risks, caregiving responsibilities, and adjustments to remote or hybrid work life, have made it harder for workers everywhere to stay mentally healthy.

To deliver on our promise of building healthy, thriving places to live, we prioritize connecting with our rental communities through various formats and engaging events throughout the year. We encourage residents to connect and give back through donations to targeted initiatives relevant to each of the communities in which we operate, such as the Humane Society and Habitat for Humanity.

At Minto, we understand the responsibility we have when it comes to our first community: our employees.
