This weekend we held our annual safety meeting and years of service banquet which is always a great time to catch up, have some arm wrestling matches and share some Diboja’s. 🍻
Safety is a big part of what we do every day, and it’s important to take the time to check in, share what we learned over the winter, and make sure we’re all looking out for each other. We also had the chance to recognize many work anniversaries and celebrate the dedication and hard work that keeps everything moving forward.
Thank you to everyone—both new to the team and our seasoned veterans—for all that you do. We truly appreciate the effort, experience, and energy each of you brings!

One more shoutout- to those who work behind the scenes at GPD, making sure everything runs smoothly for the crews in the field. From late night repairs in the shop, weekend work in the shop and office, last minute part runs up to northern Alberta and all over SK and everything in between. You all pitch in where and when needed and we are so grateful for each and every one of you! Thank you for all that you do!!
Unfortunately we don’t have pictures of everyone to post, if anyone has any they’d like to share, please message them or post in the comments!
