Toitures Hogue rises to the top of its industry with entry into the select Platinum Club of Canada's Best Managed Companies program Français
MONTREAL, May 26, 2025 /CNW/ - The company's capacity for innovation, the quality of its governance and financial management, not to mention the strength of its commitment, are the pillars on which the jury of Canada's Best Managed Companies program based its decision to award the Platinum Member recognition to Toitures Hogue, which has thus climbed to the top of the best-performing private companies, among hundreds of companies vying for the prestigious title through a rigorous nomination process. The title is awarded to companies that have successfully maintained this "Best Managed" status for at least seven consecutive years.
Launched in 1993 by Deloitte, the Best Managed program is the largest of its kind in the country. It recognizes the excellence of Canadian-based companies with annual sales of $50 million or more.
" We are particularly proud of the fact that this title was awarded to us following an exhaustive review by an external jury made up of program sponsors and CEOs of the best-managed companies," says President Jocelyn Hogue. He emphasizes that Toitures Hogue 's clear business strategy, solid capabilities, commitment and financial performance are the values the company promotes and to which all employees adhere. This privileged recognition is in addition to the company's ISO certifications: ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 45001 (health and safety), to which ISO 14001 (environment) was recently added.
The roofer's trade calls for in-depth knowledge of mathematics and the technical properties of materials, which, in 2025, will give way to a host of innovations developed for the benefit of property owners in industrial, commercial, institutional and high-rise residential environments. " We play a vital role in maintaining a quality-built heritage and protecting real estate investments, insofar as a healthy roof is a guarantee of safety and building integrity," continued Mr. Hogue, hence the need for innovative and highly safe practices and methods.
According to Mr. Hogue, National Roofers Week in Canada, from June 1 to 6, will help raise awareness among business people and building owners of all kinds of the importance of maintaining roofs capable of withstanding the weather and the impacts of climate change, which are likely to multiply over the years.
Mr. Hogue concluded by pointing out that the unprecedented damage caused by extreme weather events in the summer of 2024 alone cost Canada, according to insurers, more than $7.5 billion.

Edmonton, Sunrise mayors up the ante in bet over Stanley Cup rematch
EDMONTON – If history repeats itself, Edmonton's mayor may soon declare an official Florida Panthers Day in Alberta's capital city. Last year's bet between Amarjeet Sohi and Mike Ryan, the mayor of Sunrise, Fla., where the Panthers play, saw salt be rubbed in the wounds of Edmontonians when their own mayor was forced to wear a Panthers jersey during a council meeting. This time around, with the Edmonton Oilers set to take on the Panthers again in the Stanley Cup Final, the municipal pride of both respective cities is being put on the line. The losing team's mayor will read a decree written by the victor in city hall and declare a certain day be set aside to honour the championship winner in the losing city. 'We both had a good laugh about how much fun this could be,' Ryan said in an interview about this year's wager. He joked that 'when the city of Sunrise celebrates the Florida Panthers winning again' he plans to write a declaration that is bearable, but still a little bit embarrassing for Sohi to read. 'Mayor Sohi's a consummate professional and respectful, so I'm confident that if Edmonton was to win, he'll send me something that I won't be too embarrassed to read, too,' Ryan said. Sohi, in a video posted on social media Tuesday, was more than confident he wouldn't be making a declaration any time soon. 'Edmonton is more ready than ever,' he said. 'The Oilers have the passion, the grit, and the talent to bring the cup home to Canada where it rightfully belongs.' Things have changed since the mayors made their bet last year. The Panthers, of course, won their first Stanley Cup in team history — and there was also the re-election of U.S. President Donald Trump. Since taking office again Trump has launched an ever-evolving trade war between the two countries while repeatedly saying Canada would be better off if it became part of the United States. Statistics Canada recently reported that the number of Canadians flying to the U.S. was down by 12.5 per cent compared with 2019, and down nearly six per cent alone compared with April of last year. Experts have said Trump's trade war and thinly veiled threats to Canadian sovereignty at least partially explain the drop, but Ryan said he thinks Canadians will flock to Sunrise to support the Oilers just as they did last year. 'I know we're ready to welcome the Edmonton fans and the Canadian fans,' Ryan said. 'I don't expect any changes.' 'For hockey fans, this is a great distraction for whatever else is going on in the world.' Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Ryan said there might be an 'undercurrent' of nation-to-nation tension that flows beneath the ice during the final, but he expects it to subside once the puck drops. 'I really do think that when the game begins, it's just about what's going on on the ice.' Moving up a level of government, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's office didn't immediately confirm if she plans to renew her previous wager with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The two leaders agreed to send a bottle of locally made liquor to the victor last year, meaning Smith sent DeSantis a bottle of Alberta whisky when the Panthers won.

Wildfires force Hudbay Minerals to suspend work at Snow Lake mine in Manitoba
TORONTO - Hudbay Minerals Inc. says wildfires burning in northern Manitoba have forced it to suspend work at its Snow Lake mine. Last week, the Toronto-based company said it planned to maintain output at the gold, copper and zinc mine at reduced levels. But the town of Snow Lake was put under a precautionary early evacuation notice on Tuesday, so Hudbay has decided to temporarily wind down its operations there. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW It says only essential personnel will remain on site to help with emergency activities. The miner says its infrastructure and facilities in the Snow Lake and Flin Flon areas are at low risk of being damaged. It says it still expects to meet its annual targets for Snow Lake, given strong performance there so far this year. 'The safety of our employees, their families, our First Nations partners and the communities we serve remains our top priority. With the wildfires spreading, Hudbay has taken additional actions to support our employees, including $1 million in direct financial support and establishing a Community Relief Donations Fund,' said senior vice-president Rob Carter. 'We are collaborating closely with local communities and municipal and provincial authorities to provide support during this challenging time. We will continue to monitor the situation, ensuring a safe return to full operations as soon as it is advisable.' Hudbay removed non-essential staff in the Flin Flon, Man., area last week. It hasn't been actively mining in the area near the Manitoba-Saskatchewan boundary since 2022, but it still runs care and maintenance work and also has services there to support Snow Lake 200 kilometres to the east. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Exploration activities have been suspended in both Flin Flon and Snow Lake. Wildfires have forced tens of thousand of people from their homes across in northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 4, 2025.
