District 6<br />
The Waneta Dam expansion<br />
project will be the big newsmaker in<br />
the West Kootenays for the next few<br />
years. The lot for the office trailers<br />
has been cleared, services have been<br />
brought in for the entire site and<br />
orders are starting to come in for various<br />
trade classifications. Emil Anderson Construction<br />
did the clearing in mid-February to allow for work on the<br />
access tunnel.<br />
The expansion is expected to take four to five years,<br />
with varying degrees of work opportunity for our<br />
members.<br />
Member Rep Gord Chaisson and I are in bargaining<br />
for a first collective agreement with KMC Mining.<br />

Waneta Dam brings several years of work<br />
Brian Lefebvre, Member Representative<br />
Thanks to the crews for their support. They are united<br />
and strong and this has made bargaining less onerous.<br />
Negotiations for the owner operators and maintenance<br />
employees at H.M. Trimble and Sons will commence<br />
this spring. As well, I am hoping to finish up<br />
bargaining for employees of the Village of New Denver.<br />
Recently, I was appointed by the table officers of<br />
the Local Union as a trustee of the benefits and pension<br />
plans. I accepted this appointment with great pride. The<br />
benefits and pension plans have served our membership<br />
well for many years. To be given the opportunity to deal<br />
with the ever-changing challenges that both of these<br />
plans face, and ensure they are around for the members<br />
for their lifetimes, is a challenge I accept with pleasure.<br />
Work safely.<br />
