When people ask me what
it's like to work here at Honda Canada, I say
it's amazing.
I expect something different than what we had yesterday.
That's part of our culture.
That's why we do what we do. For people here
and there people outside coming in that there's always opportunity
for somebody to try something different to take on new
responsibilities and expand their Horizons.
I started here as a student,
and then when I was done as a student,
they offered me,
a full-time job and it was a really nice opportunity,
because I kind of got a taste for what it
was like here before I started here permanently.
I look after design changes.
Where else are you going to have a place that gives you an
opportunity to work with a good salary.
Good pension.
Good benefits,
and dream.

but it was the opposite.
First thing they asked me is do you play hockey.
I was like no sorry because it's a big
hockey culture here.
Also here at HCM and a lot of hockey teams
throughout the plant and play together.

here at HCM or at Honda,
I would probably use the word Limitless.
