  • One Error Cost 50 Demerits
    Issue #35 Spring 2018 One error cost 50 demerits But first team to win Sudbury District ‘did well’ Despite being penalized 50 demerits for its first error, Edmond Poirier thought his team from Levack Mine did pretty good in their mine rescue competition debut – the first Sudbury District Mine Rescue Competition in 1964. “It was a 50-point deduction for going through a charging station without extinguishing our light, our oxygen lamp. Other than that, I think we did well,” said Poirier, now living in Elliot Lake. “Even with that 50-point deduction, the Levack team was able to win the very first competition that Inco (now Vale) held within its own mines. And we also won the second one,” he said, recalling that four or LET’S DO IT AGAIN – The first-ever Sudbury District Mine Rescue Competition champions in five other Inco mines, including Creighton, 1964, the Levack Mine team led by captain Ed Poirier, third from left, pose for a photo.

  • 90Th Anniversary
    ING RAT 90 Y B EA LE R E S C 1 929 - 2019 AN UPDATE FROM OMR ON YOUR MINE RESCUE PROGRAM ISSUE #38 - 90th ANNIVERSARY EDITION Happy 90th Anniversary! Regulation creating OMR approved June 20, 1929 For those who need a date for cake and ice cream to celebrate Ontario Mine Rescue’s 90th anniversary, Ted Hanley suggests today - June 20. “If you want to look for a true anniversary of the (Ontario) Mine Rescue program, you look at what happened in (19)29,” OMR’s vice president said during a presentation at Workplace Safety North’s Mining Health and Safety Conference. That year “the (then) Workman’s Compensation Board passed Regulation 98 which essentially outlined that they agree that we will establish mine rescue stations, equip them, and appoint Mine Rescue Officers to oversee training in the province, and that will be paid (for) through the workman’s compensation program.” The minister of mines reviewed it and recommended it, and on June 20, the regulation was approved and ordered, said Hanley. The creation of OMR was based on the recommendations of T.E. Godson, who was appointed by the Ontario government to investigate the Feb. 10, 1928 Hollinger Mine Fire which resulted in the deaths of 39 miners. On Feb. 13, Godson was appointed and the final part of his two-part report was released eight months later in September. TESTAMENT TO DISASTER Ted Hanley “That’s pretty efficient work. It’s a testament to the scale of this disaster and how it was recognized across the province,” Hanley said.
