Five years ago, we looked at each other and asked a simple question. How do we attract the best talent in the trades? The answer wasn't complicated. But it required everything. Build something people actually want to be part of. Not just a job. Not just a paycheck. A company so good that people line up out the front doors to work here. So that's what we set out to do. And it started with one belief: Tradespeople deserve better. Better wages. Better culture. Better investment in who they are — not just what they can do. Five years later That company exists.

From 1992 to 2026. Watch this. This is what 34 years of showing up looks like. A handful of people with a vision and a work ethic that refused to quit. Building something from the ground up. Job by job. Relationship by relationship. Year by year. The early days weren't glamorous. Small crew. Long hours. Figuring it out as they went. But the standard was there from day one. Do it right. Take care of people. Never settle. And then something started to happen. The crew grew. The projects got bigger. The clients got more prestigious. The culture got deeper. The reputation got louder. And the company that started with a handful of people became something nobody could ignore. World class clients trusting Thor with their most important spaces. Nearly 15,000 followers watching the story unfold online. A backshop that looks nothing like any trades company in this province. A team that people drive across the city or in from out of town to be part of. 34 years of growth. 34 years of excellence. 34 years of proving there's a better way to build a trades company. And we're just getting started. To everyone who has ever been part of this team - past and present - this video is for you!!

Just... another day doing work you're proud of. With a team you actually like being around. At a company that invests in you like you matter. Because you do. At Thor, we're building a place where Monday morning feels the same as Friday afternoon. Where people show up genuinely excited about the week ahead.

The goal is simple. And it's massive. To be the very best mechanical contractor to work for in the country. Not the biggest. Not the most profitable. The best place to work. In all of Canada. That's the vision we're building toward every single day. And what does that actually look like? It looks like people excited to come in on a Monday morning. Not dreading it. Not counting down to Friday. Actually looking forward to the week ahead. It looks like a team that feels valued. Not like a number. Not like labor. Like people whose contributions actually matter. It looks like fulfillment. Pride in the work they do. Pride in the team they do it with. A sense that what they're building here means something. Most companies talk about culture. We're actively building it — decision by decision, investment by investment, day by day. Because we know that when people are genuinely happy where they work? Everything else follows. The quality goes up. The retention improves. The clients feel the difference. And the company becomes something people are proud to be part of. Monday mornings included. That's the standard we're chasing.
