Voluntary shut down shut down to January 4rth 2021.

“Our top priorities remain the safety of our workers and maintaining a safe work environment as we continue to work towards the successful completion of this critical Canadian Project. Over the past two months, we have seen safety incidents at our worksites that are unacceptable to Trans Mountain. This is inconsistent with Trans Mountain’s proud safety culture,” says Ian Anderson, President and CEO of Trans Mountain.

“Trans Mountain is proactively taking the step to temporarily stand down construction on the Expansion Project to review, reset and refocus our efforts, and those of our contractors and their workers. We are committed to a strong culture of safety above all else and insist that our Project contractors and subcontractors are equally committed. The critical success of any organization is its ability to self-reflect – to honestly and courageously ask the question, ‘where can we improve?’. This is non-negotiable, we must improve the safety culture and performance on our Project.”

A safety stand down will provide an opportunity for Trans Mountain to engage with its contractors, their staff and Trans Mountain’s employees. Trans Mountain remains diligently focused on the safety of our people and our contractors. We will dedicate this time to ensure all safety management systems are in place, including COVID-19 protocols, to ensure everyone returns to work safely.

Local Mounties ask for understanding…

Early this month a person allegedly fired shots at the local police station bring the Mounties out to see what was what. The body of a young man was found between the building and a skate park. The mans body was cordoned off over night waiting for out of town investigators.

Some facts are bringing the police here to ask for understanding in the situation that may have caused a young man to make a statement with a weapon and then use it to take his life.

” We see people on the worst day of their life” is the context that the police seem to be asking for broad understanding of their role as well as the situations of others in some trouble.

The Mounties reaffirm their commitment to the general public safety of the community.
