JUNE 2026 who work here are more than just employees, especially to me.” Moving forward, powered by the hard work of their team, Integral Air has big plans to grow. Within the next year, the company aims to double their team and expand geographically, with moves into Saskatchewan and British Columbia already mapped out. Soon after entering those markets, they intend to expand again into Ontario, where Department of Defense contracts at CFB Borden and CFB Trenton are already under discussion. Further down the road, Chad envisions a push into other provincial health jurisdictions, stretching from British Columbia to Ontario. Chad acknowledges, however, that rapid growth can make it difficult to sustain the internal culture that they have worked so hard to nurture. In order to mitigate that challenge, he says they are focusing on finding the right people to grow. He explains that when evaluating new hires, he’s looking more at character than credentials. “We can train anybody,” he says. “We want people who are driven and have flexibility – because we can be working all over the province, all over Western Canada at times. We’re also looking for someone that wants to be a part of something that’s different – not just from what they’ve done before, but different from what’s typical done in this industry.” Additionally, Chad says, they are looking for people who are innovative and technicallyminded – and they empower those people to bring ideas to the table. He points to the dry ice blasting system as a direct product of that kind of internal innovation, born from someone on the team seeing a possibility and being given the space to pursue it. Looking ahead, he intends to continue giving employees that space, and he’s confident that Integral Air will continue to grow as a result.
