From the CEO: Employee assault at Dupont Station
Office of the Chief Executive
As you have likely heard, this morning one of our own was stabbed while riding the subway to his work location. I was able to visit with him and his family this morning at the hospital, and thankfully his injuries are not life threatening. I’m pleased to let everyone know that he’s in good spirits, all things considered, and is now resting at home.
As I always say, the safety of our employees and customers is of utmost importance to me. This incident is a sad reminder of the challenges our employees face every day. As always, we are working closely with Toronto Police Service who continue to investigate this incident.
I know today’s event is upsetting and it may be hard to process. I think of the TTC as a big family and as family we are always there for each other.
I want to remind you that health and wellness supports are available. The immediate and confidential Employee Family and Assistance Program (EFAP also known as Lifeworks) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To get in touch with EFAP please call 1-800-572-0039 or TTY at 1-877-338-0275. You can also access these supports on the MyEAP App or online at workhealthlife.com.
Our thoughts and best wishes are with our colleague for a speedy and full recovery.
Stay safe.
Richard J. Leary
