Hudbay Flin Flon came out on top at the Provincial Mine Rescue Competition.

 

The event was held this weekend, which was hosted by Vale Manitoba Operations here in Thompson.

 

Vale got second place in the competition, and also came away with the First Aid and Written Exams awards.

 

Hudbay Snow Lake received the Firefighting and Technicians awards.

 

The Mining Association of Manitoba says this year’s competition was bittersweet for the teams, as it marks the last one for Hudbay Flin Flon due to the upcoming closure of its mine.

 

Next year’s Provincial Mine Rescue Competition will be held in Snow Lake.
