How come at your job sites, people aren't wearing masks? I've seen a few Academy project sites, and no one was wearing masks. I even saw multiple people walk out of a building they are working on in Kitchener beside my work with no masks, and there was at least 4 guys walking out! Terrible... Good to know Managers aren't keeping up with monitoring the safety for their employees... Good value in that. Steed Evens guys wear their masks even outside sites I've seen driving by, and they aren't even near each other. Great job on their end for sure!

Don't stay on top of even basic needs of guys working on their sites. Toilet paper seems to be too much to ask for. I could go on but don't want to waste anymore of my time
