Building Connections Beyond the Workplace: Lift North America Summer BBQ
At Lift North America, our success is driven by the dedication, teamwork, and commitment of our people. Each year, we bring our team together for our Annual Summer BBQ — a special employee appreciation event designed to recognize the hard work of our warehouse team, technicians, office staff, account managers, and everyone who contributes to our continued growth.
Hosted at our Mississauga headquarters and forklift facility, the Summer BBQ transforms our front yard into a space for connection, celebration, and team bonding. Colleagues from across the organization come together to enjoy great food, music, refreshments, and a relaxed atmosphere away from the day-to-day workplace routine.
The event is an opportunity to say thank you to our employees while strengthening the relationships that make Lift North America a strong and collaborative team.
Building Connections Beyond the Workplace
Melissa Yehia, Human Resources Manager at Lift North America, highlighted the importance of creating opportunities for employees to connect outside of their regular responsibilities:
"Team building is an important part of creating a positive workplace culture. Events like our Annual Summer BBQ allow employees from different departments to spend time together, build stronger relationships, and connect as one team. These moments help strengthen collaboration, improve communication, and remind us that our people are at the heart of everything we do."
Celebrating the Team Behind Our Success
For the Sales and Marketing team, the Summer BBQ is another opportunity to recognize the people who support Lift North America’s commitment to delivering exceptional service and solutions to customers.
Jad Boulos, Director of Sales and Marketing, shared:
"Our employees are the foundation of our success. From our technicians and warehouse team to our sales and support teams, every person plays an important role in helping us serve our customers and grow as a company. Taking time to celebrate our team and recognize their efforts is essential to maintaining the strong culture that drives Lift North America forward."
Strengthening Our Brand Through Our People
As a company that values relationships with customers, partners, and employees, Lift North America believes that a strong internal culture plays an important role in building a strong brand.

Our people are what make our company unique, and sharing moments like these helps highlight the teamwork, commitment, and positive environment that exist across our organization. A connected team creates better experiences for our customers and partners."
A Tradition That Brings Everyone Together
The Annual Summer BBQ has become a valued tradition at Lift North America — a chance for colleagues to step away from their daily routines, enjoy time together, and celebrate the teamwork that makes the company successful.
From sharing a meal to enjoying conversations with colleagues across different departments, the event reflects Lift North America’s commitment to building a workplace where employees feel appreciated, connected, and valued.
Thank you to everyone who makes Lift North America what it is today. We look forward to continuing this tradition and celebrating our team for many years to come.
