We, as a country, are in an unprecedented health crisis that is affecting all business. Northern Strands serves a variety of critical and essential industries from mining, construction, grain handling facilities, agriculture and more. We take this responsibility very seriously. For this reason, we will continue to serve our clients and these critical industries in an effort to support the local, national and international infrastructure and economy. Because of these important reasons, Northern Strands is CURRENTLY OPERATING and OPEN FOR BUSINESS. However, in the interest of employee and customer safety, we have locked our doors to public access. Our sales team will be accepting orders via email and phone. Incoming and outgoing shipments will be received by our shipping support staff via our shipping bay entrance. Call 306-242-7073 for Saskatoon and 306-352-7073 for Regina when you arrive at the shipping doors to receive your package. We will then leave the package outside or load the shipment for you. This being said, our operating situation could change very quickly.
Using various marketing tools and technologies, we will keep our clients informed by sending emails, posting messages on our website, using digital ads, and other various social media platforms. In addition, we are utilizing a simple means of video/digital communication with our customers and clients for meetings, webinars, screen sharing, etc.
We have the health and welfare of our employees and their families, our customers and vendors as our top priority and main concern. We will continue to follow municipal, provincial and federal announcements regarding COVID-19. To support our employees in this difficult time, we have implemented a number of measures internally. We have followed suggested government health measures: restriction of business travel, social distancing, enhanced sanitation, limiting face to face interaction, minimizing paper document exchanges, staggered work times, and asking employees that feel ill to stay home. We continue to investigate alternative options that will allow us to reduce person to person contact in the workplace while continuing to maintain operations. We will do everything possible to keep everyone safe, to “flatten the curve” and to reduce strain on our healthcare system.
Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss an order, project or need for your business. Please call us at 306-242-7073 or visit our contact us page for a specific list of emails and phone numbers for each division, including emergency contact info.
We hope that everyone in your family and business stays safe and healthy in these trying times.
Sincerely,
Garry Clarke
President Northern Strands Group of Companies |
