This year’s One Young World Summit in Montréal brought together 2,000 young leaders who inspired us with their passion, intelligence and talent. Our U.S. representatives, Miranda Schalk and Kayla Weidner, attended the event to learn and network with other young industry leaders, preparing themselves for the challenges of tomorrow. Reflecting on her experience, Kayla shared, 'One session I really enjoyed was on wildlife conservation, something I’m deeply passionate about and hope to explore further at Holcim.'

As community leaders, our responsibility is to support and give back to communities across the country. 💚 Our Twin Cities aggregate team hosted local Scouts to help them work toward their 'Mining in Society' Merit Badge, sharing insights about the mining process and the essential role our products play in everyday life. 💚 To salute all teachers as they embark on another year sharpening young minds, our Melissa (TX) RMX plant sponsored the teacher convocation lunches and Teacher of the Year Award. 💚 Cottage Grove families enjoyed a night of outdoor movies at 'Movies With Mo,' featuring a unique photo op with a special guest — our front-end loader, which usually operates at our sand and gravel sites. It was a big hit with both kids and parents. 💚 Our Joppa (IL) plant hosted a barbecue cookout that raised fund for the local Senior Center, Happy Hearts. The money raised will help fund the vital programs and services that seniors in the community rely on. 💚 We joined in the bicentennial celebrations at the Lockport Town Community Day to tell the story of our Lockport Quarry's long history of operating in the local area.
