    We live and breathe safety day-in and day-out at Elexicon Energy, and we want to enable the communities we serve to do the same.   To mark the beginning of #PowerLineSafetyWeek – we are highlighting some of our partnerships when it comes to educating the future generation on power line and electrical safety. It is never too early to learn and keep you and those around you safe!   Most recently, we partnered with the Children’s Safety Village in Belleville – complementing our other partnership with Kids’ Safety Village Durham. Both villages offer safety education programs to kids in Grades 1 to 3. Taking place in our own mini-villages, our very own Jeff Lavelle offers first-hand education including everyday household tips for identifying potential hazards.   Children are shown overhead power lines and transformers – and the safe distance to stay away (which if you do not know is the length of a school bus – 10 metres). They are also taught what actions to take when encountering a downed power line (something everyone should know):   👉 NEVER touch a power line or anything it has contact with, even with a stick or other object as these can act as a conductor. 👉 If the downed power line is in the road, don’t drive over it with your car. 👉 Always assume the line is energized or “live” and get a safe distance away from it, at least 10 meters or 33 feet as the ground becomes energized. 👉 Look for signs of fire and if you see any, call 911. 👉 If it is not an emergency, call Elexicon Energy at 1-866-579-6819 to inform us of the downed line.   We want to empower the next generation to know they do not need to be afraid, but cautious when it comes to electrical safety and power lines.   Thank you to Jeff Lavelle for continuing to be an inspiration!   To learn more about safety around downed power lines – head to our website: https://lnkd.in/gjVXddWD   #OurEnergyOurFuture #PowerLineSafetyWeek

    Elexicon’s vision encompasses helping our customers and communities to seize brighter futures. We care about the future, which means ensuring a sustainable electricity system, and supporting safety, health and wellbeing in our communities. Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences shares this commitment, providing essential programs for individuals with complex mental illnesses.   Yesterday, as the Big Kahuna and Presenting Sponsor of the Ontario Shores Inaugural Gala, we put a spotlight on their work in adolescent mental health and eating disorders. Currently, Ontario Shores offers a 12-bed inpatient unit for treatment of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and related eating disorders, aimed at youths aged 12 to 17. It is one of a kind in the province.    Keynote speaker Dr. NEAL ANZAI, drawing from 30 years of experience, offered invaluable insight into the role collaboration plays in improving care for adolescents battling these disorders. Partnership and alignment on a visionary approach between organizations like Ontario Shores and Elexicon is where progress begins.   We are happy to help lead the revolution for adolescent care alongside Ontario Shores. Thank you for all that you do!   #OurEnergyOurFuture

    As #EmergencyPreparednessWeek comes to an end – we wanted to share yet another way our crews remain prepared for any sort of emergency. What may come as a surprise is that some of our team members are trained in water, ice, and helicopter rescue.   Working with Access Rescue Canada, Inc. – our crews were educated in how to respond effectively to emergency situations involving bodies of water. This included learning about proper equipment usage with specialized gear, assessing ice conditions and executing rescue strategies to keep themselves and others safe.   Most recently, some of our team received comprehensive training on helicopter safety protocols and communication procedures – equipping them to be able to respond to emergencies in remote or hard to reach areas where traditional rescue methods may be limited.   Thank you to the Elexicon Energy team that remains committed to being prepared for any situation to ensure the safety of themselves, their colleagues and those we serve. #OurEnergyOurFuture #GetPrepared

    Everyone should see a future in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) as not just possible, but exciting. At #ElexiconEnergy, we will continue to inspire young women to explore rewarding careers in the energy sector. #OurEnergyOurFuture

    President and CEO at Elexicon Energy Inc.

    Recently, I attended the Principal’s Tea, an event dedicated to celebrating and promoting the potential of young women (and those that identify as) in STEM (i.e., science, technology, engineering, and math). Given my own STEM background and my role as President & CEO of Elexicon Energy, I'm committed to addressing the gender gap in STEM fields.   Climate change is the existential issue of our time and it is central to my organization. At Elexicon Energy, our primary focus is on transitioning from fossil fuel-based energy sources to cleaner, renewable alternatives like wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal energy. This also involves transforming how we produce, consume, and manage energy to combat climate change and create more sustainable energy systems. These changes mean the energy sector is projected to create 28,000 new jobs in only four years.   It is essential that we leverage everyone in order to fill those jobs. This can be done through government policies, corporate practices, and educational programs. Elexicon Energy Inc. participates in and supports inclusive recruitment.   In Canada, women make up less than a quarter of STEM careers. We need to continue to recognize the contributions of women in these fields, while ensuring we are breaking down any barriers that prevent them from feeling they cannot be successful in any of these areas especially within the energy sector.   I hope the following information provides inspiration: Elexicon’s executive team is 63% women and our Board of Directors is 100% female-led. The Ontario Energy Board - is led by a woman, Susanna Zagar. The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) – is led by a woman, Lesley Gallinger. The Electrical Safety Authority- is led by a woman, Josie Erzetic. The Electricity Distributors Association – is led by a woman, Teresa Sarkesian. And, to young women, whether you are currently pursuing interests in high school or university or college in STEM, you are not the future, you are the NOW.   Anything is possible. Our Energy. Our Future. #OurEnergyOurFuture

    Thank you to the Ontario Energy Association and our President and CEO Indrani (Indy) J. Butany, MBA, ICD.D for the insightful discussion on the future of energy and how we will work towards electrification.   #OurEnergyOurFuture

    President and CEO at Elexicon Energy Inc.

    Earlier this week, I joined a panel discussion hosted by the Ontario Energy Association alongside Spencer Gill and Frederick Morency, focusing on grid modernization. With Ontario transitioning towards cleaner energy, grid modernization is key for a low-carbon economy and meeting growing customer demands. Simply put, grid modernization is not flashy, but rather it is necessary. It involves updating both physical infrastructure and communications infrastructure as electricity demand and capacity increase. Elexicon Energy Inc. is tackling this through our Dx (Distribution) Next program, prioritizing the replacement of outdated systems and enhancing our customer-centric approach. Our goal is to ensure everyone in our service areas understands our long-term objectives focusing on affordability, climate resilience, and reliability. However, we recognize that #ElexiconEnergy, and our energy partners cannot do this alone; it requires ongoing collaboration from governments and stakeholders at all levels. This will take significant financial, people and time investment. The only regret we will have, is if we do not invest in upgrading our grid. Thank you to Andrew Grainger for moderating the event – enabling another opportunity for discussing the successful path forward to an electrified future. #OurEnergyOurFuture
