As we welcome the official first day of winter, preparing for how the seasonal weather can affect your projects is essential. At CGC, we're here to help you achieve flawless results, regardless of season. Cold temperatures and dry winter air can lead to challenges, but here are some tips to keep your project moving forward this season: ❄️ Protect your Materials: Store products like joint compound in a heated area to prevent freezing. ❄️ Drying Time Adjustment: Cold conditions slow drying, so plan for extended drying times between coats. ❄️ Control the Environment: Maintain temperatures of at least 10°C/50°F for materials, surfaces, and air. Use indirect-fired heaters to maintain heat while avoiding overexposure to moisture. Stay prepared this winter and build with confidence.

At USG, we always start with our people. This year and every year, our people share innovative, out-of-the-box ideas that enhance the employee experience and culture, support our customers, and set the stage for a sustainable future. Our people make USG a great place to work. In 2024, our employees rallied to ensure their peers were safe and customers were fully informed during the cross-country deep freeze in January and in the aftermath of hurricanes Helene and Milton. Our teams also deepened their roots in the community with grants to local nonprofits and participated in our annual food drive to benefit local food banks. They also took time to recognize their wins and contributions to the industry, celebrating Manufacturing Day, Safety Month, new patents & trademarks, and awards around innovation, customer service, sustainability, and more. Thank you to our people for seeing opportunity at every turn—we see endless opportunity in you. Thank you for making us #ProudToBeUSG!

We celebrated Customer Service Week across our CGC and USG locations in October. This globally recognized event acknowledged the significant impact that customer service makes worldwide. 🎉 To celebrate the team’s impact, we kicked off the week with a team-building night at the arcade. Everyone came together for a fun-filled evening of bowling, axe throwing, various midway games, and dinner. The competition was fierce, but the prizes and fun made it a memorable night for all! 🕹️ We also hosted team luncheons for our Oakville and Montreal teams, inviting members from our sales teams to join the celebration. Each customer team member received a gift and was entered in a draw for a chance to win sports tickets. A big thank you to our customer service team for all the hard work and dedication they put in day in and day out. We look forward to more moments of appreciation and success together! #CustomerServiceWeek #CGCBuildIt
