The United Association has been training qualified pipe tradespeople longer than anyone else in the industry. The UA boasts the premier training programs available in the industry today, including four-year apprenticeship programs, ex- tensive journeyperson training, organized instructor training, and certification programs.

The layout and editing of the newsletter is completed by Judy McConnell with contributions from: Bill Peters, Mike Mclean, Landon Mohl, Ken Busch, Claudia Rubio and Mitch Grenier . The newsletter is printed in a unionized print shop by Allied Printers, Regina, SK. 2 BUSINESS MANAGER’S REPORT This year has been tough on many of our members, with lack of work, so here’s hoping 2018 will prove to be more promising. The first part of the year will be slow, picking up in February and March with the Co-op and Yara shutdowns. The Co-op has Capital work slated for a good part of 2018. The Local is in need of a major project in the coming years and there are strong prospects with Jansen Potash, and their 5.5 to 6.5 billion dollar project. To date, I have had 3 meetings with the Jansen people promoting Local 179 members for site work and have another meeting scheduled in another month. Other large projects consist of Midwest Potash, Yara and the possibility of the Stoughton Refinery. On the positive side, the pension has seen changes that will put an additional 15% towards the pension of members in good standing. Increasing the bridging from $400 to $578 with 30 years of service and the reduction from 6% to 3% per year after age 55, will benefit our members immensely. The Industrial Agreement is at a standstill and the committee is in no rush to settle the agreement at this time. We are waiting on the other trades to finish and their next meeting was slated for Nov 7 & 8. On Nov 22, 2017 a meeting with the Husky Upgrader is expected to go well, as they have sent 3 letters commending the membership for their work on the shutdown. We have excellent prospects to look forward to in the coming years. As always feel free to contact me, if you have questions or concerns. Stay safe this holiday season, rejoice in spending time with loved ones and all the best in the New Year! BILL PETERS 402 Solomon Drive Business Manager Regina, SK S4N 5A8 P: 306-569-0624 F: 306-781-8052 3 INDUSTRIAL SECTOR WORK Hello Brothers and Sisters of Local 179 First off I would like to thank the members for their hard work at the Lloydminster shutdown. We received letters from Alstom, Edmonton Exchanger and Melloy, thanking Local 179 for a job well done. From all accounts, the Boundary Dam and Cory jobs went equally as well. Waiward is close to completing the rebuild of K+S, with extra work they should have things completed by year end. We had about 100 Travel Cards out in the last month from Local 488, Local 401, Local 663, Local 254 and Local 67. We were also able to help out the Boilermakers by providing some welders. We are expecting to be slow for the rest of the year with work picking up in the spring beginning with: Co-op Shutdown, end of March Jabobs and Balzers. Yara Shutdown and maybe expansion. June Clearwater. SaskPower Shutdowns: Boundary Dam Apr 6—May 4 2018 - Balzers. Shand May 11 – June 8, 2018. Poplar River Sept 21 – Oct 19, 2018 - BFI Poplar River Oct 26 – Nov 23, 2018 Upcoming Work: Queen Elizabeth shutdown April 2018 Enbridge Line 3 replacement, spring - Sommerville and OJ Enbridge Line 3 Pump Additions 2018 – 12 stations Cory Cogen March 2018 There is still talk of a BHP Bilton Construction Announcement in July 2018. Quantum Energy Inc. Stoughton – Oil Refinery and Cogen – still talks of Aug 2018 kickoff. We are in the process of creating a data base of members safety and trade tickets. Next time you are at either the hall in Regina or Saskatoon bring in your Red Seals, Welding tickets, Fall Protection, First Aid, AWP as well as picture ID like your Drivers License. They will be scanned into your file and will hopefully improve our dispatch system. If you are able to scan and send from your home please do so. You can send them to [email protected]. We hope this exercise will also have you checking your expi- ry dates. I hope to see you at the November meeting in Regina, one of the Children’s Christmas parties or the Saskatoon meeting in December. I would like to thank the membership for the honour of serving you for the last three years, and hope to continue to serve you in the future. Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021 2 0 2 0 / 2 0 2 1 A N N U A L R E P O R T MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR The work of Regina Food Bank is critical to Regina’s support of those facing food insecurity since its’ founding almost 40 years ago. In those many decades we have never faced a crisis like COVID-19. The activities of Regina Food Bank extend beyond the critical service of procuring, receiving, handling, and distributing thousands of pounds of food a year. Our mission is to serve those most vulnerable in our community by providing programs and service directly and through partnerships in the areas of food provision, essential skills development and connections to community supports and opportunities. None of this is possible without our donors, sponsors, community investment partners, and volunteers, and for that, on behalf of the Board I would like to offer our most heartful thank you for supporting our mission. We cannot do what we do without all of you. Your Regina Food Bank Board of Directors is responsible for the strategic direction and overseeing operations. We work together in alignment with leadership to deliver our vision, mission, values, and strategic priorities for Regina Food Bank. During a time of unprecedented change, I am happy to report that we enter 2021-2022 having progressed in this work. As I enter my role as Board Chair, I would like to thank my Board colleagues for their hard work and dedication, especially during this last year. As a board, we can support growth opportunities and empower progressive strategic priorities to best address the ever-changing face of food insecurity in our city.
