Work is expected to resume on Jan. 4, 2021. “Our top priorities remain the safety of our workers and maintaining a safe work environment as we continue to work towards the successful completion of this critical Canadian project,” Ian Anderson, president and CEO of Trans Mountain, said in a release. “Over the past two months, we have seen safety incidents at our worksites that are unacceptable to Trans Mountain. This is inconsistent with Trans Mountain’s proud safety culture.” Anderson said the Crown corporation will use the downtime to “review, reset and refocus our efforts and those of our contractors and their workers.”
