The AME team has successfully moved forward on a number of projects over the past few months. Great cooperation between project managers and operational employees has allowed us to upgrade our facilities and address both new and long-standing issues.

Recent successes included:

• Completion of the Snare Forks G1 Rotor lift, part of the disassembly required prior to start of the overhaul

• Installation of the replacement generator in Paulatuk

• Completion of the modular gensets factory acceptance test

• Installation of a meeting facility at Snare Forks

• Replacement of the Snare Falls Headgate control cable

• Completion of K-Plant ventilation project to provide better cooling and air quality, particularly in the summer months

• Installation of Multilin Protective Relays at Fort Good Hope, which will allow remote trouble-shooting  

NTPC has an ambitious capital plan over the next several years but the AME Division is up to the task.  

Volunteer firefighters in Fort Simpson were at our plant on Wednesday, December 19 for training and a tour. Great work by Dylan Kakfwi, Boyd Mallaley and Daniel Bruneau to organize and host this visit, helping to build a stronger working relationship with members of the local community.

In conjunction with Skills Canada NWT, staff at Jackfish welcomed a number of Grade 8 students earlier this week to talk about safety in the workplace and to provide a tour of the facility. Plant tours were led by Eileen Hendry, safety presentations were delivered by Jean-Guy Poitras and Tony Watier while Kevin Dunn showed the control room in operation. Who knows -- perhaps future colleagues started on the path to a career in electricity generation as a result of their visit!

Thank you to all who supported the tour.

Yet another Christmas is very near on our way and so what better way to acknowledge the holidays than to celebrate!?

On November 23 the Hay River offices put on their finest gowns and sauntered into a night of festivity and cheer at the Hay River Community Hall. Tables were lined with anticipation as the three MCs of the evening kicked the night off with skits and activity. The grub was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Thanks everyone for coming out this year and enjoying the night with us!

Find attached a photo album of the evening - but be warned it is full of jolliness.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all... and all a good night!
