Technical Services, Trail, recently celebrated reaching one million hours worked, Lost-Time Injury Free. Congratulations to the team on this significant achievement and for all their work in support of everyone going home safe and healthy every day.
Red Dog Operations had a surprise guest visit at site this past April. Maizee the dog was found wandering on the Port Road 50 miles away from her home in Noatak. She was rescued by a NANA/Lynden haul truck driver, then spent the day sleeping on a blanket by a heater, eating roast beef, and visiting workers in the mill and mine. Her owners were notified, and she was reunited with her family in Noatak (learn more about the community of Noatak in “People and Places”). Thanks for the visit, Maizee!
On June 3–6, Vancouver hosted the Women Deliver 2019 Conference, the world’s largest gathering on gender equality and the health, rights and well-being of girls and women. More than 8,000 world leaders, influencers, advocates, academics, activists and journalists came together at the event in an effort to accelerate progress for girls and women everywhere. Teck was a proud partner of the conference’s Culture Night, together with UN Women and the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs.
The outdoor Culture Night celebration saw local attendees and conference delegates enjoy an evening of food, art, Indigenous culture, speakers and musical performances. The event included a marketplace highlighting products and services of female entrepreneurs, as well as a large paint-by-numbers mural to be gifted to the Centre of Excellence for the Empowerment of Indigenous Women in Chile. Since 2016, Teck has partnered with UN Women to empower Indigenous women in Chile. To learn more about global citizenship at Teck, visit www.teck.com/responsibility
Rocking out in the classroom: Sam McGeorge, Chief Geologist at Pend Oreille Mine (POM), took sample bags to local school Selkirk Elementary for some hands-on learning. Each student in the Grade 3 class was asked to bring in a rock to learn about geology and rock composition. Sam then brought them back to POM where the team got to work, processing and analyzing each rock.
In the end, each student received their sample bag back with their cut rock, assay sample, geology report, timeline, rock cycle and assay report, and had an opportunity to discuss their rock results with a POM geologists. Pictured here is Jasmine McCauley, Maintenance Superintendent, POM, with her 3rd grade daughter, Harlow.
