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.”

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.

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,

Tricia looks after the vast majority of the entire MI field and corporate sales team’s admin needs as well as a lot of the day to day running of the GP office, all while working part time. On top of this lately Tricia has lately been pulled into many other time consuming initiatives around the merger often times bringing her laptop home to work late at night and on the weekends (which she very often does for the sales team as well). 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.

I’m truly not sure how Tricia does as much as does, I think she has superpowers or is a robot. But seriously, Thank you Tricia!!

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.

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.

As part of Doing Midstream Differently, a number of new initiatives have been kicked off by the Operational Excellence Team over the past year. Our philosophy on delivery is to work alongside the field to build fit-for-purpose solutions that work for Secure.

Derek has been an instrumental partner and key team member to bring these initiatives to reality. 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.

Our support teams in Calgary appreciate the time and care you put into educating us – you are helping to make us better.

To the next step, Cheers!

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!
