Investing in our people is one of the best investments we make. Every course completed, certification earned, and exam passed strengthens our team and the level of service we provide clients. This month, we're celebrating two wins from our skilled trades apprentices.

A Bursary for Aiden Drew's Electrician Apprenticeship

Congratulations to Aiden Drew, who received a Kimco bursary to support his education as an Electrician Apprentice. Aiden is heading into his third year of schooling and says the support is something to earn, not expect. His attitude, humility, and enthusiasm reflect the values we look for at Kimco. Alongside his apprenticeship, Aiden is completing ongoing safety training, one more step toward becoming a well-rounded tradesperson.

Matthew Marcia Scores 91% on His HVAC Certification Exam

Matthew Marcia, one of our HVAC Technicians, scored 91% on his Level 4 Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic exam. His result earned him a Tim Hortons gift card, and it's a clear marker of the work he puts into both the classroom and the field.
