Dedicating 20+ Years to the Fire Protection Industry: Sonya’s Success Story

At Viking Fire Protection, we believe in showcasing our dedicated workforce. We are proud to be the employer of choice for the industry’s most experienced and knowledgeable fire protection professionals. Because we value our exceptional specialists, across Canada, we dedicate a segment of our blog, the “Join the Fire Protection Best!” series, to share their unique stories.

Sonya is proud that her career in fire protection, of over twenty years and counting, enables her to make a positive impact by helping clients ensure the safety of their properties, communities, and buildings occupants. The sense of purpose derived from keeping people and property safe is a major motivator. Knowing that her work at Viking Fire directly contributes to the safety and security of the Ottawa community, clients, and their assets, gives her a deep sense of fulfillment.

In an interview published in the 2nd edition of the CASA Outstanding Women of The Canadian Fire Sprinkler Industry, Sonya mentioned that the opportunity to collaborate with professionals from diverse trades, including electrical contractors, AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction), engineers, and manufacturers, enriched her work experience. “This cross-functional collaboration not only broadened my knowledge but also enriched my work experience, as I learned to navigate different perspectives and expertise in the industry.”

Furthermore, Sonya is convinced that building strong relationships with clients and colleagues is fundamental in her line of work: “What drives me to get up and do this every day is the sense of pride I have in my team and the journey we are on together. Seeing the growth and success of our team is an ongoing source of motivation,” she pointed out.
