MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND CEO

During the evolving COVID-19 situation, the use and dependency on the commercial
facilities maintained and serviced by Clintar Commercial Outdoor Services remains essential to ensure the continued operation of critical businesses.

I want to take a moment to assure you that Clintar is, and has always been taking the
pandemic seriously, and ensuring all proper health and safety guidelines and protocols are strictly followed. As we continue to navigate the changes posed by this pandemic, our priorities always remain the same. The health and safety of our employees, customers, and communities are our top priority.

Clintar provides property maintenance services to critical commercial and industrial companies like hospitals, government buildings, and supply chain businesses (among others). Our services aid in the safety, security, and sanitation of commercial properties.

These services include:

• Plowing, salting and ice prevention
• Outdoor sanitization
• Turf maintenance to prevent mosquitoes, ticks, vermin, and rodents
• Litter clean up including hazardous materials such as latex gloves and medical masks
• Noxious weed & invasive species control
• Parking lot repairs to help prevent injury and vehicle damage
• Integrated Pest Management
• Rotting or dead tree removal
• Water drainage and irrigation repairs

Our crews perform treatments to help maintain outdoor spaces that could otherwise affect public safety, and increase the risk of injury. The services we provide ensure that commercial properties are able to remain safe spaces, and that all property standards are met.

We remain dedicated and prepared to address the most pressing property maintenance and up-keep issues facing our customers. Our customer service levels and customer satisfaction remain the highest priority in everything we do. As an employer of choice, our employee engagement rates are a priority as well, so that we can continue to ensure an industry-leading experience for both our staff, and most importantly, our clients.

Thank you for your continued support.

Upcoming Environment Days

As we continue to protect outdoor spaces and the health and safety of our public within the communities we operate in, we also remember to take the time to celebrate our Earth.

One of our top priorities as a company has always been to protect our Earth and it’s natural resources, and to provide effective services that honour sustainability practices which have been a part of our mission.

The below are important environmental and sustainabilityrelated days. These are all of significance to Clintar, and we will be observing each. Clintar C.A.R.E.S invites you to participate!
