Our Engagement
Our Engagement Booklet is an annual publication for our employees, contractors, and external stakeholders. It is the culmination of our most recent work to uphold our commitments to the environment, prevention, and local communities.
When we launched our Moments of Mine photo contest this past spring, the idea was to give our employees the opportunity to share with us the good times they were having despite the pandemic and lockdown. One of the contest winners, Jeannie Puxley, submitted this photo taken during a happy day she shared with her sisters while touring the land and enjoying the moment.

SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
PREVENTION
2014 ▶ We changed our general approach to prevention to implement a reporting culture. This has helped improve our health and safety performance by more than 65%. This proactive approach also extends to our Nunavimmiut partners, who participate in the reporting of incidents or hazardous conditions they witness. 2016 TO 2020 ▶ Our employees have completed more than 179,595 preventive actions.

PAGE 5 • Our Engagement • 2020 Tamatumani
One way for us to show how much we want to support the sustainable economic development of the communities affected by our operations is to create jobs for the Nunavimmiut. Seen in this light, Tamatumani makes a lot of sense.
A Well-deserved Retirement Thomasie Usuituayuk (Welder, Maintenance) has been with us for 25 years—longer than almost any other employee. Born in Salluit, he started working for Redpath in May 1991 as a Day Labourer assigned to surface installations, and then he learned welding from A to Z at Raglan Mine. Happy retirement! Qikatsialaaqqutit!

What Is Tamatumani?
Created in 2008, Tamatumani (“new start” in Inuktitut) aims to attract as many Inuit workers as possible to come work at Raglan Mine. It is in charge of the entire hiring process for the Nunavimmiut, provides basic and technical training, and supports the onboarding of new local employees.
