Algoma Central Corporation is excited to announce that it has been selected as one of Hamilton-Niagara’s Top Employers for 2026, marking the fourth time the company has received the regional distinction.
The annual competition, organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, recognizes organizations that demonstrate leadership in creating exceptional workplaces through employee support, development, and engagement.
“Congratulations to our Bear Family on being named once again as one of Hamilton-Niagara’s Top Employers for 2026,” said Gregg Ruhl, President and CEO of Algoma. “This recognition reflects our employees’ shared successes, grounded in integrity, strengthened through teamwork, and driven by ownership and passion in everything they do. That commitment is what reinforces our continued reputation as the Marine Carrier of Choice.”
Employers were evaluated against other organizations in their field across eight criteria, including workplace culture, employee communications, health and wellness supports, compensation, training and skills development, performance management, and community involvement. Algoma’s selection reflects its continued focus on safety leadership, competitive compensation, and meaningful training and development opportunities that support long-term careers across the organization.
As part of its approach to employee well-being, Algoma promotes both physical and mental wellness through a strong safety culture and access to supportive resources. The company is committed to developing its workforce for the future through ongoing investment in training, skills development, and education across shipboard and shoreside roles. Through enhanced communication and employee engagement initiatives, Algoma wants employees to feel heard, supported, and connected regardless of where they work. Beyond the workplace, Algoma supports the communities where it operates and where its employees live through various employee-led initiatives and a company-matched charitable giving program.
