Cardinal River Operations Mine Rescue Team also participated and put forward a strong performance in the competition placing fourth overall, having qualified as a result of their First Overall Aggregate ranking at the 2017 Alberta Provincial Mine Rescue Competition.

Members of these teams are to be commended for their hard work and dedication, and for demonstrating true skill and excellence in safety leadership.

Congratulations on these achievements and for exemplifying our company’s core value of safety.
