Human Resources
Our actions are guided by the fundamental respect for each man and woman in the Group.
Efficiency, motivation and personal satisfaction are enhanced by open dialogue, quality working conditions, the integration of new employees, training, promotion and the passing on of experience. - Colas SA
Our Values
Every ColasCanada employee shares the same common values which are fundamental throughout our companies and are part of our groups’ culture and are as follows:
| Enterprise | Each employee should show initiative and be motivated by a desire to win, to commit and to succeed. |
| Responsibility | Each individual is fully accountable for his or her decisions and actions. |
| Trust | Relations within the Group are based on trust, which is the cornerstone of autonomy, frankness and authenticity. It is for each person to establish and develop his or her trustworthiness. |
| Respect | Respect is the basic rule of behaviour that guides every employee in all his or her actions: respect for oneself and respect for other employees, customers, third parties, the trade unions, society at large, the Group’s principles, laws and regulations, the environment, fairness and ethics in the broadest sense. |
| Setting an example | Each day, every employee is expected to give the best of themselves, to strive constantly for quality and to demonstrate the highest level of professionalism. |
| Humility | Through continual self-questioning and by maintaining a humble attitude, each employee is always able to advance. |
ColasCanada and its subsidiaries are committed to your side.
For several years now, ColasCanada and its subsidiaries have a duty and a pleasure to be involved in various social causes.

Our Student Partnering Program
The Student Partnering Program assists post secondary students with the cost of tuition and books while providing summer work opportunities in their field of study. A mentor is also assigned to provide guidance and advice to the student.
"The beauty of the Partnership Program for me was the fact that not only was I supported financially, but Wapiti Gravel Suppliers gave me great summer employment where I learned almost as much as in the classroom! Now thanks to that experience along with my degree, I am now an Area Manager for G&C Asphalt, enjoying my day to day work with all the challenges and opportunities that come with it."
- Ryan Moe, Student Partnering Program Graduate, Area Manager, G&C Asphalt
