NTPC was proud to provide support for the Gateway Jamboree in Enterprise on August 9 and 10. The jamboree was well attended on both days as people from near and far came to show their support for a community that suffered catastrophic property losses during last year's wildfires.

There was great music and food, bouncy castles, arts and crafts demonstrations, information displays by local and regional organizations and plenty of interesting vendors selling a wide variety of products.

Every year, NTPC sponsors jamborees and festivals in a number of communities. Over the past year or so, we have sponsored the Beluga Jamboree in Tuktoyaktuk, the Beavertail Jamboree in Fort Simpson, the Slave River Paddlefest in Fort smith, the Multicultural Festival in Yellowknife, the JMR Community Reunion in Jean Marie River, the Sunrise Festival and Muskrat Jamboree in Inuvik as well as many other celebrations in other communities.   

Charlie Simpson, Plant Superintendent in Whati, recently celebrated an impressive milestone when he achieved 30 years of service with NTPC. It is extremely rare for a Plant Superintendent/plant operator to remain in that position for such an extended period and his long service was recognized by local residents and NTPC colleagues during a celebration at the Whati Cultural Centre on August 7. While not everyone who wanted to was able to attend, an invitation to the event on social media received a number of positive comments from current and former colleagues.

A total of approximately 100 people attended. Among those who made it to the celebration were (left to right): Anthony Spink, Cory Strang, Charlie himself, Eileen Hendry, Scott Adlem-Qilluniq, Rob Closs, Dean Hendrickson and Michael Rabesca. 

Thanks Charlie for your commitment to keeping the lights on in Whati since 1994!!
