All across the NWT you will see our Environmental Investment program at work.
Team Up to Clean Up bags can be found in almost every community as teams of volunteers clean up after the spring melt. This is the second year NTPC has sponsored community clean up events and this year our branded bags can be seen throughout communities. NTPC provides bags, gloves and reusable water bottles for all the volunteers.
If your community does a clean-up and you don't see our bags...have the coordinator check online for the registration form. www.ntpc.com
Please review this Health & Safety Alert. We had a recent incident involving the rental of a scissor lift that was not safe to operate. Check out the rest of our H&S Alerts on the HSE Division page.

The return of spring/summer weather to the north also brings back a lot of wildlife. While you are outside enjoying the warmer weather at work and play, remember that bears and other wildlife are also awake and active again.
