2020 Summit Award Nominations are Now Open!
The annual G4S Summit Awards are held each year to honour employees from across Canada who represent our G4S Values.Summit Award winners are nominated by their peers and, if selected as a winner, are invited to an all-expenses-paid trip to the ceremony. Last year, the Summit Awards were held in Vancouver, British Columbia. 2019 Award Winners included Moses Aderinoye and Gurcharn Purewal. Moses Aderinoye - Guard of the Year Moses is a team player and a role model for all of our guards on the Toronto Community Housing Contract. He has worked at some of the most high risk neighbourhoods in Toronto, including a number of sites which are often in the news for having problems. Oct 21st 2019, Moses attended an active fire at 423 Yonge Street. Moses was notified by a tenant of a smoke alarm and went in to see what was wrong. Upon getting no answer at the door, he noticed it was slightly open. He could see smoke that originated from a tire on the tenants mobile scooter. The tenant himself was elderly and had fallen on the floor and was unable to get up due to mobility issues. Moses acted quickly and used a soaking wet towel to smother the fire, and then contacted 911 and our TCH dispatch. Moses received praises from TCH and the Special Constables on his quick thinking in what was a life threatening incident for the tenant of the unit. If it were not for his bravery, the tenant would have surely passed away. On May 8th 2019, Moses had positively identified a female on-site who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant. Due to his information sharing and quick thinking he was 15
able to trace her location within the property, which allowed the Toronto Police Services to make an arrest. The female was charged with a number of offences. It was a great pleasure to recognize Moses for his hard work, dedication and passion for community safety Moses Aderinoye and partnership with 2019 G4S Guard of TCH and Toronto Police the Year Services.
