As a trusted partner to Sarnia-Lambton’s industries, BASES carries forward the legacy of three cornerstone organizations: the Industrial Education Cooperative (IEC), Community Awareness Emergency Response (CAER), and the Sarnia-Lambton Environmental Association (SLEA). Together, these groups brought decades of expertise that shaped a culture of collaboration, innovation, and community connection. Today, BASES builds on that foundation by championing four key priorities - worker safety, emergency readiness, environmental stewardship, and open communication. At the core of our mission is a dedication to trust and partnership between industry and the community. United in purpose, we are striving toward a region that is safer, stronger, and thriving for generations to come.
