Jason’s Story – Account Representative

Jason Jones, Account Representative
New Glasgow, NL
Started at Motion Canada: September 2016

What do you like about working at Motion Canada?
Working in the Atlantic region feels like more of an extended family than an employer. Everyone works as a team and is there to help and to encourage each other, which is why we have been so successful.

Do you have any advice for anyone just starting at Motion Canada?
I would tell anyone who is just starting at Motion Canada to have fun, lean on your fellow employees (or friends, as I like to call them!), and trust that everyone is willing to help and wants to see you succeed! Throughout my time at Motion Canada I have leaned on colleagues all across the country, and have always been treated with respect and a helpful attitude.

Motion Canada believes in providing a healthy work-life balance for our employees. What do you do in your free time?
My hobbies are mostly family oriented: we’re involved with hockey, soccer and school sports with my son, and dance and gymnastics with my daughter. We also go camping in the summer as a family. Typically the kids’ sports and family activities take up the majority of my free time, and my wife and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go any why?
I had always wanted to travel to England: not only to see where my ancestors are from, but also to experience the history, castles, and pubs (as a Newfoundlander, pubs are very important). And lucky for me, I got to go! In May 2019 I visited England for my son’s soccer trip where he played in a tournament against teams from all across Europe.

There were a few highlights from this trip. For one, being able to attend four professional soccer games (or football, as they British say) was really exciting, and the best part was that my son and his team were on the pitch for opening introductions! But an even bigger highlight was when my son’s team – Fieldians U15 Boys – won one of their games while competing against an English Academy team. And I have to give a shout-out to Motion Canada, who was one of the team’s sponsors. Thanks for all the support!

What is your favorite vacation spot?
Jamaica! Between the hot weather and friendly people, Jamaica has definitely been my favorite family vacation spot so far.

What is your favorite sports team?
I have two – one for hockey and one for soccer. The Edmonton Oilers are my favorite hockey team – I fell in love with the Oilers in the Wayne Gretzky era and still keep the faith! For soccer, the Manchester United football club in the U.K is my favorite team.
