Did you know that there is a page on Powerline with information about the Hay River Social Club? We update it with past events, upcoming events, who to contact with Social Club questions and photos.

So far this year, we've been snowshoeing/cross country skiing, had Valentine's Day treats, curled and played slow pitch. Next up: sun, sand and games at Hay River Territorial Park Beach!

Here are some photos of what the Hay River Social Club has been up to this year!

We'd love to hear from you! What kind of events do you want to see more of? Any ideas for ways to engage outside of "major" events? Maybe you want to join the Committee? The Social Club is run by members for members to enjoy time with coworkers outside of work and build on our positive work culture for NTPC/NT Energy employees - let us know how we're doing!

The August 2022 edition of the all-Canadian Health, Wellness, and Safety Newsletter is here!  Inside this month’s issue you'll find articles on hand rails, lower back strain, ladder safety, sunscreen and much more.  Have a read!

Many of you probably know Onida Banksland as the result of her role as a Customer Service Representative at our Inuvik office. What many may not know is that Onida's father was a talented artist.

Recently a segment aired on CBC's "Trailbreaker" that told the story of how a lawyer in Whitehorse came to own several paintings by Onida's father and how a post on Facebook has resulted in one of the paintings being returned to the Banksland family.

It's an emotional interview and a feel good story -- we appreciate Onida allowing us to share it with NTPC employees. Click here to have a listen. 

Under the scorching heat of Inuvik’s 24 hour sun, NTPC’s own Glenn Colton, Steven Neville, and Roger Rivait spent the Canada Day long weekend organizing the delivery of truckloads of new utility poles. These poles will be installed as part of the Inuvik High Point Wind project to bring clean, renewable power to all the residents of Inuvik. Click this link to see additional photos. 

"What exactly is Outage Reporting?" ...You may find yourself asking if you aren't involved in this process. Well, look no further as we have the answer right here for all you lovely people. Firstly, outages can occur in various areas in our power systems; at generation, transmission or distribution. When these outages occur, we use the Reporting mechanism to help organize the information of the outage in a way that allows us to accurately report on it (as is our duty as a Public Utility) and, more importantly, to fix the problem(s)! So, what does this matter? Well, see below:

A Project Team has been assembled, which currently includes resources from Operations and IT, to try and make Outage Reporting better! And by "better", we mean we want to :
(1) Make a process that works for those who need to report on them - Let's make it easy,
(2) A system which supports those who need to review outages - Let's lose the frustration, and
(3) Ensures reporting leads to our teams having the tools to make important decisions - Let's empower ourselves!

We have a bit to go, but we are well on our way. Check out this nifty diagram to demonstrate what has been done so far.
