We wanted to take a moment starting out your week, to remind you of your invaluable contributions to your communities, regions, and the province. It is a job that very rarely gives thanks, which is another reason those involved with public works are some of the hardest working, most dedicated individuals.
Hope you are all taking a moment sometime this week to celebrate your public works team.
The theme this week is below, and the poster and proclamation template are attached.
The theme “People, Purpose, Presence” for the 2025 National Public Works Week poster. Meeting the needs of people is what gives public works its sense of purpose. Public works professionals are ever present, working in the background to advance quality of life for all.
The “People, Purpose, Presence” theme highlights how public works makes communities safer, more vibrant, and a better place to live. Whether serving as first responders, responding to electricity outages, providing regular waste pickup, or making roads and sidewalks passable after a winter weather event, public works is always there when people need them.
Take care and be safe!
