A group of Thompson miners are off to Flin Flon this weekend.
Vale Manager of Corporate Affairs and Organizational Development Ryan Land, tells us about the Manitoba Mine Rescue Competition:
"It tests the competency of our real emergency response teams. Teams compete in a series of simulated exercises and these include firefighting, an underground event, a written exam, and a technician’s event. The winners will be announced at the mine rescue banquet on Saturday night, and those winners can move onto the national competition".
This is the 54th year for the competition. Vale Manitoba Operations has attended every year.
