We’re heading to Brossard for the Naval Québec Canadian Naval Maintenance Symposium on April 14-15.

This is an important event for Canadian shipbuilding, with strong focus right now on smarter, more efficient ship design and lifecycle performance—something that closely aligns with Genoa’s own mandate. There will be interesting panel discussions and presentations, and opportunities to meet with top government and industry leaders.

If you’re attending, let’s connect! We'll be at booth #1.

Community engagement is at the heart of everything we do at Genoa. We’re committed to strengthening the communities around us—where we work, where our partners operate, and where our employees call home.

By focusing on meaningful investments, we aim to create real, immediate impact while also supporting long-term, sustainable change. Through collaboration and a commitment to lasting value, we strive to make a difference that extends far beyond any single initiative.

Over the past 10 years, Genoa has contributed more than $1M to community organizations. Each year at GenoaCon, we dedicate our team builder to giving back—and this year, we’re especially proud to support the Community Food Sharing Association. No one should have to go hungry. We’re honoured to support the vital work they do across our communities with a $10,000 donation to help them continue making an impact.

Giving back is also deeply embedded in our culture. Through our “Just Because” fund, employees can champion causes they’re passionate about. At this year’s Live Well Corner during GenoaCon, team members signed up to donate blood with Canadian Blood Services, volunteer with Home Again Furniture Bank, and share organizations close to their hearts.

We’re proud to share that, through these efforts, we’ve contributed an additional $7,000+ to charities supporting:
🧠 Health & Medical
🐾 Animal Welfare & Rescue
🍽️ Food Security & Basic Needs
🏠 Housing, Homelessness & Crisis Support
👨‍👩‍👧 Social & Community Support
♿ Disability & Accessibility

Together, we’re building stronger communities—one initiative at a time. 💙

Last week, our team came together—from in-person in St. John's and North Vancouver to colleagues joining virtually across North America for a full day of learning, connection, and inspiration at GenoaCON. Building on the momentum of our 30th anniversary, this year’s theme, “Build to Last,” set the tone for a truly meaningful day.

Here are just a few highlights:
✨ Hosted by the wonderful Sheila Williams
📚 Professional & personal growth sessions, including:
AI Assisted Design at Genoa with atlantiq AI, Thriving in Times of Change & Challenge with Ethree Online, How to Be a Brand Ambassador with Lupine Communications Inc., and From Designer to Brand Ambassador with Remal Arif.
🚢 A Digital Ship demo from our Senior Director of Technology, Colin Power
🎤 Industry panel moderated by our CEO, Gina Pecore, featuring: Mark Norman, Denis Morais, Rusty Murdaugh, and Katarzyna Robinson.
🤝 Our first-ever hybrid team-building activity with Outback Team Building & Training in support of the Community Food Sharing Association.
🌿 A vibrant Live Well Corner, where attendees connected with GoodLife Fitness,
Twin Cities Imaging Limited, visual artist Benjy Kean, and volunteer and charity initiatives.
🏅 We also celebrated our colleagues during the Genoa Values Awards, recognizing the incredible contributions of our team.
🎶 And we wrapped up the day with a cocktail reception featuring live music from The Reels.

A huge thank you to our partners who helped bring this event to life: NL Bus Charters, Eventex Rentals NL, Spotlight Events - Wedding Planning & Event Design, photographer Paul Daly, Make-A-Wish Canada, Newfoundland & Labrador, and the Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland. We’re already brainstorming how to make next year even bigger and better!

We’re on the ground in Calgary for our very first DEFSEC West! Having experienced the incredible energy and innovation at DEFSEC Atlantic, we’re excited to bring that same enthusiasm to the west coast and see what this new chapter has in store.

We can’t wait to connect, learn, and experience all the amazing opportunities DEFSEC West has to offer. See you here! ✈️🤝

🐶 In honour of National Puppy Day, we’re celebrating some of the adorable furry friends who’ve brightened our office this year through our Furbaby Friday initiative!

For a donation, our team gets the chance to bring their dogs to work, bringing joy, wagging tails, and plenty of smiles to the day. Even better, every dollar raised goes directly to the SPCA St.John's and their The Way Home to build a new, modern shelter for animals in need. 🐾

They’re so close to the finish line. The new shelter is nearly complete but there’s one final hurdle: raising the remaining $1.5 million needed to open the doors. This is a call to our community. The need is real, and the time to give is now. No matter the size, your donation can make a difference. Let’s come together and help bring these animals home. 💙 https://www.thewayhomespca.ca/

Today, we were proud to once again sponsor and attend Memorial Business Day! It was a fantastic morning, and the theme “The Power of Connection” truly came to life through the keynote speakers’ stories. We especially enjoyed the networking hour, connecting with incredible students at all stages of their academic journeys. We hope everyone had a great day. We always love meeting the future talent of our province!
