Safety starts with awareness.

As weather conditions change, so do job site risks. Cold, heat, wind, and changing surfaces can all impact how safely work gets done.

Taking a moment to assess conditions, adjust your approach, and look out for your team can prevent injuries before they happen.

At VETS Group, safety isn’t just a requirement. It’s how we protect our people every day.

Stay aware. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

Every great service team relies on technicians who can adapt, problem-solve, and keep critical systems running.

Meet Joel Raabis, a Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic in our Facility Services division who has been doing exactly that at VETS Group for nearly eight years.

Joel got his start in the trade early. At just 16, a family friend who owned a local company gave him his first opportunity, which led to an apprenticeship and eventually a full-time career in the industry.

A project that stands out to him was a semi-hermetic compressor change-out on the air conditioning systems in the server room of a critical service facility in Edmonton. Working on complex equipment that supports critical infrastructure made it a memorable project for the team.

Outside of work, Joel loves travelling and has already visited 17 countries, with no plans to slow down anytime soon.

If you’ve been wondering what we’ve been up to…

We’re still here. Still working. Still getting it done.

That means rising to meet the challenges ahead. Putting in full days of real work. Work that makes people more comfortable and that means our teams are often facing extreme weather conditions, so our customers don’t have to.

We thank you for that!

Here’s a big shoutout to the crews and front-line teams who show up and get it done — day in and day out.
Our clients can breathe easier —literally—because of you.

Starting next month, we’re going to share more about the people and crews that keep VETS Group moving every day. We’re glad to have you with us.

Our offices are closed this Remembrance Day, as we pause to reflect on the sacrifices of those who served our country.

For us at this day holds deep meaning as our company was founded by Fred Rayner who was a WWI veteran. Upon his return from overseas, Fred Rayner founded Vet’s Sheet Metal Ltd. and named it “Vet’s” to honour the soldiers he had served alongside and later welcomed into his workforce.

The furniture has arrived! 🛋️

Thanks to the support by our VETS and our partnership with Sofaland earlier in the year, we were able to raise enough funds to purchase and deliver 16 couches and 16 chairs to the Little Warriors Be Brave Ranch this summer.

These new pieces have refreshed several therapy spaces including the entire movie theatre therapy room!

We’re so grateful to everyone who donated, supported and helped make this meaningful contribution possible.

Another year, another Playoff Season!!

To show our appreciation to our team, we held a draw for GAME 3 tickets on Friday, April 25, which were won by... Tyler H 🎉🎉

Here's the story that he submitted to enter the draw and a few pics of him enjoying the game:

My core value story is . A few weeks ago we had a large estimating project come through that had a very tight timeline, it was not feasible to have completed by one estimator in the time allowed. We got together with the Burnaby office and split the project up between 5 of us across 2 divisions, we worked pretty quickly to get this estimate together and out the door on time.
It was nice to see everyone pull together to get this job done.
