OUR STORY
ROOTED IN COMMUNITY. DRIVEN BY SAFETY.
Tristan Kisilowsky, owner of 1st Priority Safety, is a member of Peguis First Nation. That heritage shapes how he leads, on the job site and in business.
"Leadership based on skills, not authority."
It's more than a company motto, it reflects values Tristan carries from his community: leading by example, earning trust through action, and building people up rather than commanding from a position of rank.
