We are so grateful to the entire EllisDon team for recognizing the power of working together to create inclusive work opportunities and lasting community impact. Some EMBERS Staffing workers have converted to full-time EllisDon employees. Positions range from General Labourers and Construction Safety Officers to Traffic Control Persons. 

As one of EMBERS Staffing’s first construction clients, Darwin has been a key partner and supporter to EMBERS from the beginning. The support of a major construction company in the early stages of EMBERS Staffing helped solidify our reputation in the industry and enabled us to continue growing and changing the lives of the people who work with us.

As we reflect on the year, we are proud of the impact we had on the communities we serve. EMBERS expanded its programs creating more opportunities across our divisions including EMBERS Staffing, EMBERS Training and EMBERS Eastside Works. 

A big thank you to all of our partners, funders, workers, volunteers and supporters. Our work would not be possible without your support, time and dedication to community impact. 

The new St. Paul’s Hospital is the most extensive hospital redevelopment in BC’s history and is expected to reach completion in 2026 and open to patients in 2027. With 550 beds, it will offer a long list of care services, including chronic disease management services; emergency and critical care; mental health and addictions; ambulatory services and outpatient clinics; end-of-life care; Indigenous health; maternity; colorectal and gastrointestinal services; and community care and community outreach programs. It will also include a multi-level underground parking garage, a public plaza, new roads, and civil infrastructure.

To celebrate our relationship with Icon upon the completion of Vancouver House, EMBERS has created a booklet that shares worker stories and statistics about the various sites, commemorating the time spent on these projects.
