Unionized Labour

Thanks to all who voted in the recent election. To those of you who have not heard the results were as follows;

• Business Manager – Pat Dool
• President – Mark Zysko
• Vice President – Terry Melnick
• Executive Board – Jim Hill, Mike Otto, Greg Tait and newly elected Colin Hotson
• Dan Rojik has been appointed as the new Business Agent

Dan has been busy going through Working at Heights and all other mandatory training, contacting members to assure that their training is up to date.

Please monitor our website for future updates to the training program. As the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017 has been a flurry of activity we have yet to set up new course offerings for 2017.

Newgold has the balance of our membership working as well as 40 plus travel cards. We are keeping our ear to the ground as far as any future prospects in the mining sector and will update when appropriate. Hopefully the spring/summer newsletter will have more concrete news as well as updates for future 628 activities.

Dates have yet to be confirmed but due to many members working out of town we are leaning towards a fall session.
