Valeur fondamentale : Get it Done with Passion and Integrity

Chris remembers well his first day on the job back in 1978. « I was asked to get a haircut. Twice, » laughs Chris. « Day one and day two. I got the haircut once and it wasn’t quite short enough so back to the barber for a second time. » Now Chris is the one teaching employees. « Chris is a huge role model and leader, » states the nomination letter. « He leads by example on a daily basis. He is the glue that holds the store together with his upbeat and positive attitude. » Chris regularly demonstrates the values of respect and integrity. For instance, when he saw two people begging in the store parking lot, he struck up a conversation. « They looked like they were hungry so I bought them some sandwiches and water, told them to take their time in the shade and enjoy their lunch. » Working for a company with similar values is gratifying, says Chris. « My Sobeys is a company that has been very good to me. »
