34 | July/August 2014
Davey is proud
of its children
for the hope and joy they bring, for
their accomplishments and even just
for being themselves. Meet some
of the children who bring smiles to
Davey families.
Springing Up
Many of us were more than ready for spring
to arrive after the wacky winter weather we
experienced this year. Blair Veitch's daughter,
Erika (pictured), decided to spend the first nice
day of spring sitting in a big Western red cedar
tree with a copy of the MyDavey Bulletin. Clearly
she was excited to spend some time exploring
the outdoors! Blair is the operations vice
president for Western Canada R/C.
Fancy Footwork
Goal! Scott Deevers' daughter Ella (pictured)
scored a shot in the spotlight through her
involvement with the Junior Ambassadors
Football Club. AFC spotlighted Ella and her
experience playing soccer in a quick YouTube
video interview you can watch here: www.

Ella's father, Scott, is vice president of
Eastern operations, utility services.
Looking the Part
Last summer, Davey's Hamilton office was busy
restoring power and clearing debris after a mas-
sive wind storm brought the city to a standstill.
Crewmembers put in extra hours to get the
job done, including Assistant Manager Shawn
Nixon. For at least two weeks, he saw little
of his family at home, including his two sons,
Blake, age 4, and Cohen, age 3. Shawn's wife,
Jen, explained what daddy was doing. Once
they heard the news, Blake and Cohen began
picking up as many branches as they could,
hoping to help their dad come home quicker.
The children were so happy to be helping,
Jen thought they should look the part, too.
She went to a garage sale and found a used
Little Tikes car. She painted and modified it
to resemble a car from the Davey fleet.
These are two future Davey employees
who are getting a lot of experience at a very
young age!
