Hey there, time traveller!

Johnson Waste Management Ltd., the second-largest commercial solid waste service provider in Winnipeg, has been sold to GFL Environmental Inc.
Toronto-based GFL is a large Canadian environmental services company also with operations in southeastern Michigan.
It has a workforce of 4,500 employees and 80,000 commercial and industrial customers and provides waste collection services to more than 2.5 million households.
Johnson Waste Management is a family-owned business started by Eric Johnson and his sons Jeff and Grant in 2000.
Starting with three desks, three telephones and no customers, it became the second-largest commercial waste hauler in Winnipeg.
“Johnson Waste has been a recognized market leader in Manitoba for its customer service and committed management team led by the Johnson family. GFL and Johnson Waste share the same philosophy and desire to bring innovation and service excellence to our customers,” Patrick Dovigi, GFL’s founder and CEO, said in a prepared statement.
“We are excited to have Jeff Johnson and all the employees of Johnson Waste join the GFL team.”
GFL will start servicing the City of Winnipeg municipal collection contract in October 2017 and, with its acquisition of Johnson Waste, will continue to offer Johnson’s customers a full range of waste hauling services.
