Darlene Williamson, our longest serving employee at 31 years, is retiring

Today marks the end of an era at Tuccaro! Darlene Williamson, our longest serving employee at 31 years, is retiring.

An Ojibway from Manitoba, Darlene arrived in Fort McMurray in 1985 and began working at Neegan Development in June of that year. She has witnessed the growth of the Tuccaro Group and the many changes that have come along the way.

Darlene’s cooperative and gentle nature along with her positive attitude has been a staple at Tuccaro and she will be greatly missed by us all. We are indebted to Darlene for her years of service and dedication, and we will miss the pleasurable experience of working with you.

Darlene, we wish you all the best and thank you for your years of dedication, enthusiasm and team spirit. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement!

National Aboriginal Day

A proud Aboriginal company, Tuccaro celebrates National Aboriginal Day!

For many generations, indigenous Peoples have traditionally celebrated their cultures and heritage on or near the summer solstice. 20 years ago, the Government of Canada chose this day to recognize and celebrate the diverse cultures and valuable contributions of our First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. Communities across Canada celebrate by participating in annual festivities which can include music, dance, artwork, traditional games and traditional food.

This day is an occasion for all Canadians to celebrate the rich contribution Aboriginal people have made to Canada.

The Nistawoyou Friendship Center is hosting National Aboriginal Day celebrations today from noon til 4pm at the Nistawoyou Friendship Center, 8310 Manning Ave. This free event is open to the public.

We would like to thank all of our employees for their hard work and dedication to helping to make us a leader within the Aboriginal community!

Welcome Back Folks!

Efforts to restore facilities have been underway since Sunday June 5th and I am pleased to notify you of our restoration of the 283 MacAlpine Crescent Facilities. Friday June 10th employees started to return as per supervisory and management requirements and continue to return this week.

Bear in mind that conditions may continue to fluctuate as hot spots and fires flare up. Regional smoke which impacts all facilities is normal during our summer months and you are encouraged to monitor indexes and Alberta Health advisories. I do not expect conditions to be perfect.
