A day of remembrance

Today, on November 11, let us pay tribute to the many Canadian heroes, both past and present, who have fought and sacrificed for our beautiful country. For without their sacrifices, the freedoms we enjoy today would not be possible.

As a team with such deep Canadian roots, it’s important that we take a moment to pause and reflect on the courage and bravery of those who served, and continue to serve, our great nation. We will wear our poppies with pride today to honour them.

The following will be read over the PA system in our Safeway stores at 11:00 a.m. this morning to observe a moment of silence:

“Please join us now for two minutes of silence, to honour and remember the men and women who have; and continue to serve Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace. During this time of reflection, we pause to thank and remember our Fallen.”

Today and always, #CanadaRemembers.

Congratulations to our teammates accepted in the 2022/2023 Nourish U Program

At Safeway, we’re committed to helping our teammates be the best that they can be. We’re here to support each of you in taking risks, striving for greatness, and chasing after your career dreams. Because your success is OUR success.

One of the ways we can help you advance your career is through the Nourish U Management Training Program. Nourish U is our leadership development program for corporate Store Manager (SMT) and Department Manager (DMT) training. It’s the very best opportunity to immerse yourself in our operations, get to know our teammates, and understand our products. But Nourish U is more than just an education tool — it’s the engine that kick starts our culture, brings together our brightest minds, and establishes a foundation for every successful career at Safeway.

With that said, it’s our absolute pleasure to congratulate the following 31 Alberta Safeway teammates who’ve been accepted in the 2022/2023 Nourish U Program. You should feel incredibly proud for being selected. And for investing in yourself.

We’re all rooting for you — and know you have what it takes to be successful. We couldn’t be prouder to have you part of the Safeway family!
