I would like to take a moment to say a big thanks in helping me with the Westbrick account.

This is a unique situation as they have many open invoices, however they also have large oil credits that need to be dealt with. I was able to take your spreadsheet, have a meeting with the customer and come up with a plan to net as many invoices as I can while also giving Westbrick a credit payout for their oil credits. We do have a plan set in motion for the next two weeks while I’m out of the office to deal with invoices that are currently unapproved, but I am thankful to have your experience in assisting me while I’m on vacation. Thanks Brad!

Nominated By: Julie Fiddler, May 27, 2022

Nominee: Shannon Krider

What best describes the values shown by this person: Held themselves Accountable

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values: I would like to nominate Shannon Krider of Bonnyville (MI). During the first few months of 2022 and up until currently Mrs. Krider has been mentoring Aaron and myself as “New to Secure employees”. Throughout the last several months we have learned how to deal with waste placement and the importance of how to deal with the material we intake on site.

A couple months ago we proceeded on a couple very wet days to process material as usual, being new I did not recognize the change in material coming in as “it was raining” and we were having problems with water diversion on site at the time. After having problems pushing material following
our waste placement plan I referred to my operator (Mrs. Krider) as what would be the best practice going forward. We contacted management/leads to make plan going forward to reduce the future cost to repair. We changed push plan until further notice and review.

I would like to commend the utmost professionalism to Mrs Krider not only for dealing with the repercussions of the event mentioned above but also for understanding that “taking it out on me” or “making it all my fault”. Even though I was the operator at the time she did not place any blame on me. Instead she focused on working closer with me to better understand material screening and placement when working in the Landfill. As a result our on site communication has become much better between all operators and management. Not only to be more direct and clear verbally but also being detailed with cross shift and ensuring everyone is on the same page at all times (not just the safety meeting).

I would also like to add; The above and beyond Shannon goes to make sure customers have a good experience and get what they need to be as efficient as possible on site. It could be as simple as a friendly greeting, the office being spotless and smelling clean(a seemingly impossible task), a hot coffee/cold water or a clean restroom to use instead of the side of the road. It could also be 4 hours of shoveling mud in -40 to help get a truck unstuck from a place they should’ve never drove or coming to the rescue when the Dozer is stuck.

All in all, Mrs. Krider is a great example of what we look for in our employees and I couldn’t ask for a better person to spend my work week with.

In preparation to commence the cutting of the trees, with our chain saws, Kevin noticed I was not wearing my earing protection (proper PPE) and called me out on it to remind me of the importance of it. Awesome!! This is a terrific example of “work safely” away from SECURE and Kevin being an awesome team mate. Thank you Kevin!!! /GF

Nominee: Midstream AP Department (Roma Jani, Tracy Pelland, Tosin Adegboyega, Pamela Flores, Fely Lock)

What best describes the values shown by this person: Treated Others the Way They Want to be Treated, Was a Great Team Member, Enjoyed Serving Customers

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values: A water injection pipeline project was planned, executed and completed using a 3rd party EPC, which is unconventional to Secure’s standard project management practices. Consequently this caused us to deviate from our standard AP process as well.

All invoices needed to be verified by the EPC before being processed in OI for final approval and payment. Rather than the vendors uploading their invoices directly to OI, our AP Team manually uploaded all invoices to ensure the required verification by the EPC and final invoice approval by Secure could occur. This was a big lift that took some coordination, and I wanted to express my appreciation to the entire team!

Thank you all!

Regardless, Dennis always shows up ready for the next days adventure with a positive mindset. He strives on working closely with his teammates, whether that is good conversation, or suiting up to work along side them on busy days. He makes it his mission to ensure everyone is on the same page and that his crews work safely to go home to their families at the end of the day. Dennis is also the type of guy who welcomes you with open arms and makes you feel like part of the family, not only to his crew but also to our customers. I know his teammates across the board think highly of him and respect him for being a great mentor. On behalf of myself and his crew members, we want to thank him for all his hard work, his positive attitude, and his strong values as a person in general.

As far as the headline: (Reserved for El Toro) Someone had a sign made that is located outside of his office building with that phrase. We feel Dennis has earned the title ‘The Bull.”

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values: Through the end of November and into December it was clear we needed to perform some pump preventative maintenance at BMSWD.

Dave took charge from the field level, organized crews and put in long hours to ensure the procedure was supervised, executed successfully and safely. His ability and willingness to act quickly likely saved BMSWD from seeing extended downtime. Dave demonstrated his pride and “do what it takes” mentality during a time of year that is less than ideal to be executing on critical maintenance.

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values:
With some recent incidents at our MI facilities involving tank turnarounds David observed certain operational practices that could be improved. Applying the “see something, say/do something” mind set he organized an information session with operational leaders to discuss his teams involvement in this process in the future. David presented his thoughts on his team supporting this work during tank turnaround season. The focus and reason for making his suggestion was driven around safety, care and commitment to serve MI Ops. These tank turnaround activities are high risk tasks and are undertaken once per year which can impact the confidence and competency to complete this work by MI operations personnel. The overall goal is to remove MI Ops out of harms way and allow them to focus on their daily tasks. THANK YOU David for being an awesome teammate!!! Appreciate it.

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values:
email recieved this morning from Adam McDonald:

Good morning everyone, this morning on the way out to site, Marc Magee came across a mini van in the ditch along HI Way 9 at about 6:30am. He noticed the van was badly dented, windshield all smashed and hazard lights flashing. Marc pulled over and stopped to find a young man walking around very cold and in shock. Upon looking farther, he noticed a second young man in the minivan. It turns out two 16year old boys left Saskatoon at 3:30am this morning heading to a hockey training camp. The young boy driving fell asleep at the wheel, went into the ditch, and rolled the van. Both boys were very shaken up and cold. Lucky no major injuries were detected at this time. Marc got both into his truck to warm up right away. He them got them to the Cactus Corner truck stop where they were able to make the appropriate phones calls to authorities and the respected families. This is a perfect example of the great men and women we have working in this company that look out for everyone whether that be a coworker at work on site or a stranger in the in the community. I felt Marc deserved some recognition for his efforts this morning.

When the project manager reached out to us for additional documentation, Samantha was SO quick to respond, and she demonstrated great communication and a customer-focused attitude to answering every question.

Absolutely no doubt that the customer will continue to choose Secure on future projects!!

After spending three weeks with Sean helping out at his facilities I got to see first hand just how hard and how much he cares about his staff. Everyday we spent at a facility Sean lead by example by being right in there helping in every way he could. Not only was he helping but also guiding and nurturing each and every operator, manager, lead and administrator out there. Sean took the time to talk to every driver and contractor as well to explain where we’re headed in regards to COVID and reopening our offices. The commitment and communication he shows each and everyday is unreal. As busy as we were Sean never took any short cuts and made sure he was on top of everything. I can honestly say that after spending the three weeks with him that I’ve learned so much more and definitely feel like he’s made me a better person. Truly an outstanding person and deserves the upmost respect.

Did the Right Thing,

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values:

Troy noticed that the wrong raw material was used in the EB-2200 blend while consolidating the Process Order shortly after packaging. The blend passed QC but the use of the other raw material would not have allowed the EB-2200 to work as designed. His quick actions allowed us to create and complete an NCR, making a new blend and provide service to the customer on time. The first blend will be used in a new blend, there is not waste of product. Thanks to Troy’s focus on what creates value, we were able to save time and provide excellent customer service.

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values:
The lack of rain and dry conditions, made for ideal conditions for A wildfire. April 30, 2021, a wildfire started approximately 17 km northwest of the pembina landfill. The wind was very strong gusting to 50 km/h out of the northwest, potentially putting the pembina landfill at risk if the fire spread quickly. Could cause financial loss and damage to secure property.

Before leaving the site for the end of the day Mark shut down all leachate systems/ closed tank valves. The equipment was moved into the middle of the cell to protect it in case of the fire spread. Mark notified Darcy Hoiland/ Matt Taylor of the situation.

Mark showed great proactive efforts in the situation.

Thank you Mark for your efforts that go above and beyond,

Last week for the executive facility tours Tricia was also somehow able to find time to clean and prepare 3 trucks, organize and deliver them to the airport, organize the office and boardroom, order meals, collect and input tour data etc. , etc.

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values:
Scale administrator Shelly Penner made an observation about some waste coming in, that she couldn’t tell if it was gel chem or invert on the camera, but the driver said that it was still gel chem & had the gel chem SCA approval number on his tickets. She said that it was strange that they would still be on gel chem, & operator mentioned that the 2 loads he had dumped previously within 12 hours looked like invert. Shelly called the consultant on site & he confirmed that they had switched to invert 2 loads ago, but he had neglected to change the number on the board during shift change, & that’s what caused the confusion. Operator stopped driver before dumping this 3rd load with the other 2 loads & grabbed a sample which passed. Shelly changed the paperwork & reissued it to the driver. She then made the changes in AX to reflect the loads of invert. This was a great catch by Shelly & prevented a non-compliance from occurring.

Was a Great Team Member,

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values:
We were awarded a new job, but we required a piece of equipment to be modified to go ahead with the new job. While on a holiday James came up with a plan on how we were going to get this piece of equipment to work for us. He came up with a plan, reviewed the plan with other personnel, ordered all the items required, then oversaw everything come together in a safe and timely fashion (albeit) a crunched time frame in order to get the modification done so we could be operational as soon as we could.

He also worked extra hours over the weekend outside (in the middle of a 20cm day snow storm) because of the time crunch, the short time frame provided and timing of availability of items required to complete modifications. The equipment was ready as set by the deadline that was agreed to all without complaints or issues arising requiring more time then what was allotted. He rolled with the project and was very good about communicating what was going on in an effort to make sure the equipment was going to work in the fashion that was going to be required. At the same time completing a bunch of his other regular work to make sure that the other items and work remaining on track.

He provided valuable feedback to the Training And Competency Program that shaped the definition of Job Roles, worked alongside the Facility Optimization Team to develop the education on electricity cost savings, and is currently hard at work supporting the development of the Preventative Maintenance Program (Pilot) at KIFST. Derek’s guidance to Kevin Collins on the TRAC Lead Role was pivotal in his young career – one that will pay dividends to Secure and his family for years to come.

The project is substantial as it affects all Secure MI Facilities and is a material change to how we conduct facility orientations – this is a step towards Doing Midstream Differently.

With little experience managing projects of this nature, Mona leveraged her project team, stakeholders, and the OE Project Execution Framework to stand the project up, develop a plan, and are in the early stages of execution. She has built trust with Operations and I am certain the outcome of this project will be a significant value add to the organization.

Thank you Mona, for having an open mind, learning, and the tenacity to move this forward – Great work.

There was a motor failure on one of the injection pumps at BMSWD last week. We were waiting on a failure/damage report before proceeding with a decision to repair or buy new. Thursday night at 7pm we learnt that the motor could not be repaired. I was out of cell service from early Friday morning for the entire long weekend, therefore unable to provide the necessary assistance.

Tyson stepped up on his unpaid day, verified the motor quotes for compatibility/install requirements, finalized and submitted the AFE request and had the replacement motor ordered just after lunchtime on Friday.

Tyson, your effort and willingness to help was and is much appreciated. Due to Tyson’s timely actions it limited the downtime of the pump to only two weeks from the day of failure! Huge win for Secure and the BMSWD Facility.

Thanks Tyson!

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values:

Puli is polite, wise and open minded to challenge the status quo for continuous improvement no matter how obtuse my approach is. Typically we think the same, and when we do not he welcomes the opportunity to explore a different strategy. He always says thank you no matter how tiny the request. The ‘door is always open’ if one of us has an idea that ‘can’t wait’ or clarification is needed. Although we are located in different cities we are a strong team and work together to understand and execute customer needs without compromising safety – whether they be internal or external. Puli’s extra efforts and positive attitude are very much appreciated – I am proud to be a part of our Team!

Description of what this person did, and how it shows our values:
Branden takes the time to look at all angles of a problem to find the solution, whether it is a questions about a raw material or wording in a blend instruction. Most recently last weekend I was haying and could not easily have come into the plant to QC a last minute order on Sunday. He completed the QC on the product successfully once we established that would be acceptable, sending me photos and keeping in contact. The blend was within quality specifications and was loaded and shipped to the customer. Monday the sample was retested by the Terry Sobkowich who got results within hundredths of what Branden got Sunday. Branden’s extra efforts are very much appreciated!
