KELLY’S CORNER
Water:
the Tap, Toilet
and Beyond
Ever had the feeling that you have no words in
you? I have been struggling for the past couple
weeks on what I wanted to say to you all this
first issue of the new year; but I think I finally
have it so here we go.
March is the month we recognize water a bit
more as a world than any other time of year.
World Water Day is coming up and it generally
means that the population as a whole takes a
bit more interest in water even if it is a fleeting
moment.
For the rest of us water is so much more than
what comes out of the tap it means a sense of
accomplishment knowing that we are
providing the best possible taste out of that
tap, to those who deal with the toilet side of
things it’s the same kind of goal to provide the
best kind of job to our respective communities.
It’s the “beyond” part of things I want to talk
about. How do we continue to provide the best
possible service to our communities? Well, it
starts with making sure you are up to date on
all your training. The SWWA offers a lot of
opportunities to maintain your CEU’s for
certification through the spring workshops and
the annual conference. I have had a few people
ask why only certain locations are being used
this year and that is because we like to move
around with the hands on classes like Hydrant
Operation and for the in class workshops we
choose the city we get the most registrations
at, which for some reason seems to be
Saskatoon that gets the most attendance.
Another way is to make sure you know what
you are responsible for, understand what the
permit to operate says, know what it means to
have operators working under you who aren’t
certified yet, know where you have
responsibility and always be sure to train with
safety and best practice standards for all
situations that may be encountered.
A lot of our communities are getting new Water
Plants, lagoon upgrades, new Wastewater
Plants, infrastructure changes and so on. Make
use of the supplier portion of the SWWA
website, simply type in the items you are
looking for and the site will give you the
options for the suppliers currently listed. This is
a great way to support the suppliers who come
to the tradeshow every year and it is also a
great way to let them know you want them to
continue attending so you can see the latest
technologies and the systems and services they
have to offer.
My own community has been doing a lot of
things we have run a pilot study and are in the
midst of making a decision of what type of
plant and system and supplier we will be using.
Be sure to stay tuned as I sharpen my pen to tell
you all out the adventures in Kipling and
changes being done.
As always the SWWA website is always the
place to look for all the training that is currently
being offered. We even opened the conference
registration two months early – February 1 it
was up and running usually we start offering
the registration in April. We also have
workshops scheduled for April, May and June
so be sure to check out the details in this issue
and under the events section of the website.
For all you golfers out there registration is open
and we have 15 early birds who have already
registered for the event. I have a feeling this is
going to be a good year for the turn out for golf.
Be sure to check out the website for the details
on the hotel being used for golf and be sure to
use the block code if booking a room. So grab
your group and get registered today so you
don’t forget, after all we are all getting older
and have lots of things on our plates and you
will not want to miss out on all the fantastic
prizes. I would say mark your calendar but it
already is if you are using the SWWA calendar
from the conference last year.
So until I see you in June in Swift, have a great
spring hopefully it will get warmer than the -41
it is today.

SWWA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The
MORE
Things
Change…
2018 is well underway and we’re looking to hit the reset switch. After tidying up all of
the loose ends 2017 conference, it’s time to reboot and get back into the swing of
workshop and event planning for the upcoming year. A list of the April workshops has
been uploaded to the website, www.swwa.ca, starting with Emergency Preparedness
on the 11th, followed by Hydrant Maintenance at two different locations later in the
month, RO in May and Due Diligence the day before the golf tournament.
As far as upcoming events go, the annual golf tournament has been booked and the
individual ‘hole sponsorships’ are flying off the shelf, in a manner of speaking. As was
discussed and approved during the conference planning meetings, the annual SWWA
golf tournament will now include a permanent 5 course rotation. Hopefully this will
give you, our members, more than enough room to plan attendance. The 2018 event
will take place on Saturday, June 2, in none other than my hometown of Swift Current
at the Chinook Golf Course. That should give me a decided advantage, although it has
been pointed out on many occasion, the ability to golf plays very little role in enjoying
this tournament!!
A lot of last years’ workshops and seminars focused on the area of succession planning,
whether it be for your local department, business, or your municipality itself. The
SWWA has taken a page from this, and began the stages of strategic planning to
improve the functionality of the board and the membership as a whole. Every
community, business, or organization can definitely benefit by stepping back, and reevaluating
the direction of its future. We hope to better serve our membership and
prepare any new members as to what the SWWA has to offer.
Enjoy the last few months of winter, it’ll be gone before you know it.

KAYDEN’S PROMISE TO YOU
Kayden’s success over the past 20 years has been built on
manufacturing one of the largest, most reliable and most
e cient horizontal decanting centrifuges available in the
dewatering industry.
These high capacity centrifuges are specically designed
for dewatering, and when combined with the most e cient
dredges built in North America they create a mechanical
desludging and dewatering package unsurpassed in the
industry.
Kayden can assure all clients that our technology will deliver
industry leading results in the hands of trained operators
who follow best practices in operation and technology
deployment.
There is no more important task that an
operator performs every day than
taking water samples. When we are
taking a water sample, we are
confirming that the water in our
community is safe. To ensure that we
have reliable and accurate results, this
task must be performed in exactly the
same manner each day and for every
sample. The old adage, “garbage in =
garbage out” definitely applies to
taking water samples (or any sample for
that matter).
When taking a water sample there are
several things to think about. Am I
taking a representative sample? Am I
maintaining the integrity of the sample
by ensuring that all of my equipment is
clean and free of contaminants? Am I
following the written procedure and
ensuring that I am taking each sample
in exactly the same manner? Am I
preserving the sample in the manner
prescribed by the lab or the analysts?
When we are performing analysis like
free and total chlorine in the field we
need to confirm that our equipment is
calibrated regularly and in a clean state.
Our standards must be checked for
expiry dates and our reagents must be
fresh. All of these steps must be
confirmed before we can rely on the
results that we are reporting. The
physical state of our equipment must
be in good order. For example, reading
turbidity from a scratched and dirty vial
is not going to give accurate results.
Chain of custody forms must be filled
out correctly. This form is not only
information for the analyst at the
laboratory, but is also a legal document
proving who had access to the sample
at all times. It is important to take the
time to fill out all of the information and
to be sure that it is accurate.
When we are performing tests that we
don’t do routinely, it is imperative to
refer to the Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) or the instructions for
the test unit. It is crucial to the accuracy
of the results to follow the instructions
in order and to allow the proper
amount of time for each step. When
performing titrations or pH analysis it is
helpful to perform a series of tests to
show reproducibility of results.
Some tests, like jar testing, take a great
deal of practice to become proficient at
and to interpret the results. If you are
required to perform these types of tests,
it is advisable to perform them several
times a year when you are not in an
emergency situation with your process.
The practice will help you to become
efficient and allow you to achieve
reliable results when you are under
pressure.
There are many good resources
available to assist you with developing
SOPs for the testing that you do. Your
sales representative or the company
doing your equipment calibration is
one resource. They will have standard
procedures for each test that your
equipment performs. For tests like pH
there are procedures available on-line
or in the instruments user manual. If
you are performing jar testing there are
several publications that can assist you
to perform this analysis step by step, or
you can take a workshop that will
provide you with the hands-on training
and a reference manual.
Laboratory websites have resources
that can direct you in good sampling
techniques. Many of them have videos
showing the proper methods of taking
a bacteriological sample (e.g. removing
the screen, disinfecting the spout,
handling the sample bottle, etc.). Your
analytical lab is also a great resource if
you are having trouble with sampling
techniques. They can talk you through
the procedure over the telephone or
send you a written resource to keep on
hand. If you have to preserve your
sample, the lab will send you
instructions on how to fill the bottles
and which preservative to use.
Consistency in technique and
procedure is the key to accurate
sampling and results. Keeping
equipment calibrated, clean and in
good condition will help to guarantee
that results are accurate and free from
bias. The operator is the one person
who can guarantee the integrity of the
sample.

What the?
New employees need a lot of help when
it comes to working a new job. Each
company is different in a lot of ways,
from policies and procedures, to day to
day operations. In order to have a new
employee trained properly you must have a
good training staff. Some companies may hire out this
position, and some may have an in-house trainer.
Orientations are a key item in any training program to help a
worker become successful in their job. Some of the items that an
employer should have in their orientation is an overview of the
company, policies and procedures, the do’s and don’ts, and all the
company rules. Have the trainer sit down with each employee and teach
them each item and make sure they understand the program. Once they have
gone through all of the items have the employee sign off on all of what they
were taught.
At the completion of the orientation, the employer should have one of the veteran
workers take the worker under their wing and show them how they implement all that
they have learned so far. Teach the worker what to do ho w to do it and ways that might
make things safer in their jobs. Have that new worker shadow their mentor for a period
of time and once the worker has spent the time needed to learn, have management do a
review and make sure that worker is knowledgeable enough to leave on their own. Then
and only then can the employer be absolutely sure that this new employee has had
sufficient training and is deemed capable of working on his own.
At this point in the new worker will be able to their job without supervision. But, in a few
months the employer should take time to evaluate theses workers just to make sure that
things are not forgotten and the employees don’t get complacent. Follow these steps and
you will have a work force that is one of the best in your field.

Change is
happening
in Mali
More than 3.7 million people collect dirty water out of necessity
every day in Mali. The SWWA is supporting WaterAid’s Mali: Healthy
Communities project to bring lasting change to local communities.
WaterAid has reached more than 205,000 people with clean water and
more than 208,000 people with decent toilets in Mali since 2000.
But there is still work to be done.
More than 3.7 million children, women, and men in Mali’s rural
communities collect dirty water from unsafe, distant sources out of
necessity. Over 4,000 children under the age of ve die every
year due to a lack of clean water, sanitation and hygiene. Tens of
thousands more suffer from preventable diseases like cholera,
trachoma and intestinal parasites.
WaterAid/Basile Ouedraogo
WaterAid launched Mali: Healthy Communities in 2016, an innovative
four-year program that aims to improve water, sanitation and hygiene
conditions for communities in the Circles (municipal districts) of Kati
and Bla. By bringing clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to the
people of Bla and Kati, we will help to unleash people’s potential,
enabling the communities to break free from poverty.
As we’ve seen in previous projects, the presence of these three
essentials has an almost immediate ripple effect, accelerating
real progress in health, education, productivity, gender equality,
economic growth and development.

Working together to bring lasting change
We want our work to spark lasting
change and go far beyond the thousands of
people we will reach directly in this project. To
create lasting change we need to shift the
way people think about water, sanitation
and hygiene. This is why we are working
with local partners and community members,
municipal authorities, schools and health
centers, artist groups and cultural centers,
and women’s and youth groups across the
Circles of Kati and Bla. Our local partners
are crucial to the success of the project.
Their in-depth knowledge of local issues is
essential for the successful implementation
of the program and its sustainability. We
selected partners for this project on the
basis of criteria related to expertise, local
recognition and credibility, management
capacities and their openness to innovation.
Partnership lies at the heart of our
approach to development. This means that
communities and local stakeholders are
engaged in every step of the program. This is
key to fostering long-lasting change.
While a project is underway, the area sees
The Numbers
By 2020 the Mali: Healthy Communities program will:
immediate economic impact. We hire locally
and source materials locally, putting money
directly back into the hands of the
community. After a project is complete,
community members are able to spend the
time they used to collect and transport water
being productive in other ways: studying in
school, developing a businesses, and caring
for their families.
WaterAid and its local partners return
to the area post-intervention and ensure
that the communities continue to enjoy
the project’s benets. A follow-up study of
WaterAid’s previous intervention projects in
Mali revealed that 95% of our infrastructure
was still operational after seven years. This
is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly
when compared to the average success rate
of 30 to 50% in the sector.
More and more often, WaterAid boosts
the local economy by creating opportunities
directly related to our programs, like
new soap-making ventures. As a unique
element of the Mali: Healthy Communities
program, we will also be offering nancial
and entrepreneurial training as well as
• Reach 35,600 people with clean water, 24,360 with decent toilets and another
72,500 people will learn about the importance of good hygiene.
• Support 13 groups of women in establishing water and sanitation-related small
businesses (e.g. soap making) through micro-credit.
• Provide hygiene kits to 17 schools and 7 health centers, including hygiene promotion
materials and handwashing devices.
• Build and rehabilitate 43 water points at schools, health centers and public spaces.
• Set up 39 local committees and train them on how to operate and maintain the new
infrastructure.
• Build and rehabilitate 42 toilet blocks in schools, health centers and public spaces,
specially designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities.
• Equip 175 of the most vulnerable households with toilets, and encourage thousands of
people in 45 villages to build their own household toilets.
microloans to support small businesses. This
will all drive economic growth.
The Bottom Line
Let’s be clear: there’s no quick x, no
magic bullet that will solve the water and
sanitation challenges in Kati and Bla.
WaterAid’s extensive experience in Mali,
and indeed throughout the developing
world, shows that permanent improvement
is only possible through a longterm,
integrated approach focused on building
trust and partnerships, supported by our
eld-tested and proven technologies and
practices.
Mali: Healthy Communities is a piece in a
much larger puzzle. In many sub-Saharan
countries, a high proportion of local and
national budgets, as well as the budgets of
many humanitarian agencies, is allocated
to immediate health care, often treating

deadly, but entirely preventable, diseases.
Imagine the effect on societies when that
money – billions of dollars across Africa –
is re-directed to economic development,
strengthening institutions and delivering
needed infrastructure projects that can help
prevent illness at the source.
The human need for clean water
is critical for survival. What does require
encouragement is the effort to shift decades
and sometimes centuries old perceptions,
habits and expectations. By promoting
awareness and demand for careful water
management, sanitation and good hygiene –
key components of this project – we will
help set these communities on a new
path toward self-su ciency and vitality.

ClearTech Introduces the Lovibond PVT
Series of Process Turbidimeters in Canada
ClearTech is the Canadian factory authorized
service centre and stocking distributor for
the new Lovibond PVT Series of Process
Turbidimeters in Canada. Lovibond, a leading
manufacturer of water analysis products
designed these turbidimeters to monitor

the low levels of turbidity found in drinking
water. The PVT Series received US EPA
approval as listed the USA Federal Register /
Vol 82 / No. 143, in section 40 CFR 141.74(a)
(1), published on Thursday, July 27, 2017.
“This is a big milestone,” says Michael Sadar,
Lovibond’s Research and Develop Manager.
“We worked hard to develop a system that
was not only user friendly, but that is able
to achieve the level of accuracy that the
operators as well as the regulators expect
from a system like this. We’re really proud of
what we were able to accomplish, and we
think that operators are really going to like
the simplicity of the overall design of the
instrument as well as the data management
tools that the mobile interface provides.”
ADVERTORIAL
With an emphasis on simplifying processes,
data management, and reducing water
usage, the design of the PTV Series
considered every aspect of process turbidity
workflow. The system is configurable to offer
operators a variety of options including
integrated flow indication and bi-directional
Bluetooth® communication between the
sensor and a mobile device. Additional
accessories to assist with installation, sample
management and routine procedures such as
calibrations and cleanings are also available.
As a stocking distributor and factory
authorized service centre, ClearTech
offers complete installation and ongoing
maintenance service on the PVT Series
Turbidimeters.
To order and for more information about
the PVT Series, contact ClearTech at

What
does
being a
leader
mean?
What does the word leadership
mean to you? Does it mean being
good at your job, being well liked,
or being in charge of everyone?
Every leader in the world aspires
to be a good leader, but how can
you be a good leader, if you don’t
understand what leadership
really means?
Leadership is not like some
clothing where one size fits all
and there is no magic force that
will instantly make you a great
leader. It takes time, dedication,
and patience to learn how to
make and achieve goals you set,
and how to inspire others to
follow you and do the same.
Everyone has different ways of
doing this, whether through
small rewards (donuts and
coffee), or allowing more
freedom for employees, or
working in the trenches with the
said employees. All approaches
however you chose to execute
work but you need to take time
to figure out what kind of leader
you are and the style of
leadership that will work best for
you.
Every exceptional leader has
developed and not stopped
learning how to develop their
leadership to obtain success.
resilience:
Being a good leader is tough; it can be hard to find a balance between creating
and supporting others to execute jobs successfully. Making a bad decision can
affect you as a leader with the pressures you receive from those above you
whether council; mayor or your plant manager and can impact you and your team.
Being the leader of a team requires a resilient mindset. Resilience is the key to
dealing with the leadership challenges effectively while at the same time allowing
you to thrive in your leadership challenges.
Every leader needs to learn flexibility, it does no-one any
good to sit there and complain about changes to things or
challenges you dislike, instead you need to be able to adapt
and change to accept the new situation and work with what
you have.
communication:
flexibility:
Like a marriage or any kind of relationship communication is always key. It is
important for you to be able to communicate effectively with those you are
leading. You are the only one who knows what is going on in your head and
unless you can communicate what you are wanting effectively your employees
will not know what you are wanting. If you promise something follow through,
be a man/woman of your word; in the long run that will save you.
courage:
responsibility:
appreciation:
It takes courage to stand up for something you believe;
but a great leader needs to be able to stand-alone even
when it is hard to do so. Having strength and courage to
fight for what you believe is sometimes a hard thing to
do but it is also the sign of a great leader.
It takes courage to stand up for something you believe; but a great
leader needs to be able to stand-alone even when it is hard to do so.
Having strength and courage to fight for what you believe is
sometimes a hard thing to do but it is also the sign of a great leader.
Ever hear the phrase a kind word can make a world of difference. In todays
world it is often overlooked how much a simple thank you means. When you
have an employee who goes above and beyond working and maybe not
receiving any reward for the time dedicated to a project often times a simple
thank you can mean more than an actual award. People need to know they
matter and are appreciated – those who feel it from their leaders are often the
ones who will go above and beyond for their leaders when it is needed.
Being a good leader is not all sunshine and flowers, it can often look like a broken
hydrant or water main, cold and potential storm on the horizon. Sometimes you need to
make difficult or unpopular decisions. Positivity is your best defense even when you
don’t feel it. It is on the days when everything is going wrong that your character and
leadership will shine through. Your style of leadership when combined with a few of
these characteristics will be your key to success as a leader.

WESTERN CANADA WATER ENVIRONMENT
ASSOCIATION (WCWEA) Update –
Path to Improvement
The strength of any device is only as strong as the weakest link. This analogy also holds
true for organizations. Opportunities exist for improvement. WCWEA is one of the member
agencies of Western Canada Water. WCWEA has experienced several challenges and has
significant opportunities. Some of the challenges include increasing awareness of
resources available to water professionals, increasing participation in WCWEA, and
providing training sessions for water professionals. These were some of the issues that
WCWEA wrestled with during the strategic planning session in 2017. I’ve embarked on a
new journey in 2018 to assist WCWEA to address these challenges.
Water Environment Federation (WEF) is the parent organization of WCWEA. I have taken on
the role as the Delegate representative to link WCWEA to WEF. WEF has a House of
Delegates (HOD) workgroup that work on several important issues for water professionals.
HOD has representatives from member agencies, similar to WCW, from across Canada and
the United States. HOD is working to promote operator initiatives as well as the profession
of working in the water industry. These include:
1) development and
distribution of
promotional items
which include
Operator
Ingenuity Award,
training sessions,
operator
challenges, and
training manuals;
2) complete survey
of member
agencies and
workforce
development; and
3) prepare operator
orientated articles
for member
agency
magazines.
There are a number of water related events that are creating problems for various
geographic locations. Problems with the artisan wells creating a water supply shortfall for
the community of Swan River, Manitoba; shortage of water for Cape Town, South Africa;
flooding of the Quill Lakes in Saskatchewan; stormwater flooding of Paris, France in early
2018; extreme precipitation and flooding of Houston, Texas in 2017; and a spring runoff
event in 2013 creating flooding in High River and Calgary. Trying to understand the reason
for these types of events as well as how to deal with them is of significant importance to
all water professionals. WCWEA is working on putting a seminar together to explore
stormwater occurrences. I am assisting with the arrangements for a Canada Stormwater
Institute seminar in November in Calgary.
I’m enjoying the many challenges and opportunities of working with WCWEA.
You’re always welcome to participate.

What led you into your current field?
Was it planned or a detour?
I was a lift Station Operator for the first
few years of my employment with the
City and liked the job. I wanted to better
myself, so I applied to move up to the
WWTP.
Is there someone who has been a
mentor to you in your professional life
and personal life and why?
My dad has been my mentor in my life.
He gave me my first job working for him
in his upholstery shop, and it was his
work ethic that help me to get where I
am today.
What is the most rewarding part of
your job? What is the least rewarding?
The most rewarding part is helping keep
the environment clean. Cleaning human
waste is the least rewarding part!
What type of education do you
currently hold?
I have my level 2 Wastewater Treatment
and level 2 Wastewater Collection.
Looking ahead – is there anything you
would like to accomplish in your
career?
I would like to obtain my level 3
Wastewater Treatment.
If you could give advice to someone
looking to get into the industry or to a
student looking into a future career
what would you say?
It’s a good job that will always be there.
Knowing that you can help the
Environment is a good reason to be
involved in our industry.
What ways do you currently
incorporate to help combat stress and
overwork?
I go fishing on weekends to get away
and unwind. Also I go camping with
family.
Tell us about you, what makes you tick,
what are you passionate about?
I have been married for 7 years, I have
two boys that are 5 & 7 that take up
most of my time. My passions are
Hunting and fishing with my family.

Can anyone
TOP Wynyard's
Christmas
surprise?
Now I all know we have seen
and heard of FATBURGERS
that love to clog our sewer.
I’m also very sure that we
have all seen a rubber duck
floating by too, along with
numerous other thing we‘d
much rather not see. But
December 27th 2017 at the
Wynyard Lift Station must
take the cake.
Upon returning to work after
my much needed Christmas
vaycay and heading out to
check the lift station I
stumbled on something
new. I looked once, looked
twice and thought to myself,
either I need more coffee or
maybe some more sleep but
I'm certain that's a fire
extinguisher stuck down
there?! So down went Terry
Morrow to pull it out and
sure enough that's exactly
what it is. A ten pound fire
extinguisher, fully intact,
hanging out at the bottom.
Certainly that’s not an
everyday flushable, and
Wynyard does not
have any household or
even industry sewer
mains that would be
able to fit such a thing
down them; our only
guess is someone
lifted a man hole lid
and threw it on down.
With a further
inspection of the
extinguisher we found
out that it was from
2010, giving us a slight
time line of how long
it could have been in
there; however how it
made any twists and
turns to make into the
lift station is anyone’s
guess.
Frankly we would
love your theories, if
you have any inkling
let us know!

Take control: You and you alone are the only person who is responsible for making sure
that you stay certified. Know when you are up for renewal; mark it on your calendar.
Keep good records: Your employer is going to ask for your CEU certificates as
you earn them, make sure you give them a copy and also keep copies of the
records for yourself.
Keep up with technology: this is a changing industry things are always
changing new technologies are always advancing – keep abreast of these
things by reading your Pipeline wither online or on the mobile app, read

you with your career?
Training: Keep up with the courses being offered – watch
the SWWA website and subscribe to getting the emails from
your association so that you are in the know.

Membership: being a part of the association
gives you a wide range of opportunities for
training and networking events. Knowing others
in the industry will help you do a couple of
things: advance your career, have assistance if
needed from those who have experienced your
current situation, and a group of peers to rely on
and look to if needed for assistance.
What led you into your current
field? Was it planned or a detour?
I came into this field as a result of
wanting to try something new. An
opportunity came up in the Fibreglass
industry and I found it to be a chance
to be creative and innovative in
helping find solutions for traditional
materials.
How long have you been in the
industry?
I have been promoting products to the
Water & Wastewater industry doing
business development for over
15years and in the Fibreglass industry
for over 5 years and recently became
the Director of Composite Sales for
Carlson Commercial & Industrial
Services Ltd. in October of 2017
Is there someone who has been a
mentor to you in your professional
life and personal life and why?
My biggest personal mentor was my
father who ran a renovations
company. He was a very smart man
and always put people’s needs before
his own. He worked hard and always
stood up for what he believed to be
right! I have had a few professional
mentors in my life, each with different
skillsets but two who stand out the
most would be from Pritchard
Engineering in Winnipeg. They were
able to see my potential and help me
grow into the person I am today by
being honest and ethical with every
client to create long term
relationships.
What is the most rewarding part of
your job? What is the least
rewarding?
The most rewarding part of my job is
that each day has a different problem
with a different solution. This allows
me to be creative and innovative with
designing and implementing results
for the Water and Wastewater industry.
The least rewarding part of my job is
the time I need to spend away from
my wife and children but thanks to
technology I can video chat with them
when I am travelling.
What type of education do you
currently hold?
I am a Business Administration
Graduate and have learned many
additional skills, not taught in a book
or classroom, through working with
my colleagues and clients. You would
be surprised at what you can learn just
by listening.
What are your future plans for your
career?
My future career plans are to work
hard, play hard, and grow my
knowledge to allow me to become a
president/owner one day!
If you could give advice to someone
looking to get into the industry or
to a student looking into a future
career what would you say?
I say take the leap and don’t let people
hold you back! People have told me
that the grass isn’t always greener on
the other side and sometimes they are
right, but through it all I have had
some great experiences and great
careers and met many great people. If
you don’t take a risk in life you will not
see any rewards.
What ways do you currently
incorporate to help combat stress
and overwork?
I am an anomaly and normally handle
stress very well. I will admit there are
times where I get stressed beyond
being able to just shrug it off, but my
family and friends help take my mind
off the stressful times and encourage
me to move forward with whatever life
throws my way.
Tell us about you, what makes you
tick, what are you passionate
about?
I enjoy sports, hockey, spongee
(Manitoba sport), golf, and gong to the
lake. I also like to entertain and put on
social gatherings. I am most
passionate about family, I have 3
children (17yrs, 3-1/2 years, and 5
Months) and a beautiful wife. They are
what drives my passion to succeed in
life and to better myself. I try to lead
by example and instill good morals
and ethics so they can grow to better
the world when they get older.

deserts. Cross glaciers by day and
sleep closer to the stars than you
ever dreamed possible by night.
