I have learned about the process chemistry involved in making pulp, how to analyze project merit based on profitability and how to verify drawings, assess performance, and identify hazards in the field.

This program has been very exciting to be a part of and there’s so much to say about what’s going on in the industry that I will have to use this final post to introduce myself, summarize my placement, and provide my final takeaways – all at once.

There is something beautifully moving about waking up with the sun and stepping outside into the brisk morning air, ready for another day.

A few weeks ago, I headed down to Swan Hills with my friend and co-worker Taya to cast a few lines and do some camping. We didn’t catch any fish, but there wasn’t room for complaints with such good company and conversation.

Here is a timeline of some photos and videos since May to show some of what we did and saw over the summer.

Right off the hop fishing was a big highlight of the summer. There is no lack of fishing opportunity around High Prairie and I didn’t even go to a fraction of the lakes and rivers I wanted to.

Welcome to my second blog of the summer, I have had quite the exciting week and wanted to show some pictures of the experience and for the ones I don’t have pictures of I will explain.

I have worked in the Forestry Industry for three summers now, one summer in Operations, directly working in creating Newsprint and the last two summers working in the accounting department, working on behind the scenes things that keep the company flowing smoothly.

If any of you have read any of my previous blogs, you would know that I work for Alberta Newsprint Company (ANC).

This is my last blog of the summer, but I have had a great time writing about my life and enjoyed the opportunity to support such a great organization.
