Reflection: Beedie Group Field Trip

I am very grateful that the Beedie Group showed us what they do and gave us a tour around their office!!

They divided us into groups and at one point, one of the workers there said that whoever answers this question correctly and most quickly will win a prize. The question was “What is an important thing that workers [the people who build houses, etc.] should wear?”, the people who answered this correctly and quickly got a “hard hat” as a prize.

I really liked seeing the miniature models of buildings. (How cute!)

We got to see a building in progress (from inside the bus)!! Andrew, a worker from the Beedie Group, showed us big piles of sand called preloads. The preloads were used to compress the soil. We also got to see a bunch of workers lift a concrete wall using a crane. It was very cool!!

It was also an honour meeting Mr. Beedie, the founder of the Beedie group. We got to see his office (which had lots of models of planes, a treadmill and a TV).

I think it was very generous of the Beedie group to give us a free pizza lunch!! Thank you! I appreciate you guys for that!!
