Project Spotlight: The Safety Village – Windsor, Ontario

A Community Project Rooted in Purpose

Empire Roofing Corporation was honoured to support a project that aligns with everything we believe in—safety, education, and giving back. From February to May 2025, our team completed a full re-roof of The Safety Village, a nonprofit organization delivering essential safety education to children and families across Windsor-Essex.

As a partially donated initiative, Empire contributed both in-kind materials and labour, helping reduce the overall cost and ensure the facility remains safe, dry, and operational for years to come. Supporting the spaces that protect our communities is a responsibility we’re proud to share.

Why It Matters
Each year, The Safety Village reaches nearly 10,000 local students with programs that teach life-saving habits—from fire and road safety to emergency preparedness. With a new, high-performance roofing system in place, their facility can continue delivering these programs in a safe and reliable environment.

The Challenge
Like many retrofit projects, this one presented unique complexities—tie-ins beneath existing stucco and flashing, weather delays, and a tight timeline. Working closely with Elevate and drawing on decades of expertise, our team delivered a resilient solution without compromise.

The Solution
We installed a 60-mil Elevate UltraPly™ TPO membrane with 2" ISOGARD™ GL insulation, InvisiWeld plates, and a V-Force™ vapor barrier. Together, these components support energy efficiency, durability, and long-term performance.

The system helps reduce rooftop surface temperature and contributes to lower energy costs, all while maintaining interior comfort—just one more way the roof gives back to the people it protects.

A Shared Commitment
We’re proud of this project—not only because of the craftsmanship and teamwork involved, but because of what it stands for. As our VP of Service, Nada Tayar, said:

“When we invest in an initiative, we want to ensure we’re giving the community something that lasts.”

Our thanks to the Elevate Canada team for their partnership, and to The Safety Village for their ongoing commitment to safety education in our region. We’re honoured to have played a role in helping them continue their mission.
