A Week at Environmental Services



A few weeks ago I got to spend a week working for the Environmental Services department of the mine, along with Kelsey and Ali. Jill was with us some of the time, but had more important white-hat duties to attend to most of the time. (For those who don't know, white-hats at the mine are 'staff', while coloured hats are tradesmen, electricians, instrumentation, maintenance, welders, contractors, and labourers).
We organized a shed, cleaned for a barbecue, and fixed fishing nets all day while sitting in the sun. But more importantly we had to catch fish fry from the trout spawning channel, so that we could populate various old pits around the mine site. (For those who don't know, the old pits at the mine are now lakes).
