This year, the Board awards the 2024 Étoile de l'accueil to Colette Chiarello, secretary of École publique Écho-des-Rapides in Sault-Ste-Marie. Ms. Chiarello is the first contact with the school.

Ontario Mine Rescue Announce Provincial Competition Winners of 2024

Ontario Mine Rescue announces provincial competition winners of 2024

Agnico Eagle Macassa team claim gold hard hats

 (June 7, 2024) THUNDER BAY, ON – Mine rescue competitions concluded at the awards ceremony on Friday, after mine rescue volunteers across Ontario competed at the provincial championship in Thunder Bay. Out of eight teams, it was announced during the awards ceremony that Agnico Eagle’s Macassa Mine came out on top – the first provincial victory for the mine since 1986.

 Every year, mine rescue competitions evaluate mine rescue volunteers on an essential set of emergency response skills, from firefighting to first aid, through both live-action scenarios and a theory test. This year’s provincial competition saw a scenario that began with a Motor Vehicle Collision (MVC), which tested their proficiency with hydraulic rescue tools and first-aid treatment.

 After safely extricating two casualties from the vehicles, teams navigated their way through a complex simulated mine to secure the location of a fire that had already been quelled by a foam generator. At this section, the most challenging part of underground scenario began, as teams discovered smoke fuming from a vent. Observation skills were key as they searched for clues in dark, smokey conditions to locate and extinguish the mystery fire.

 “We’re happy to announce that all teams completed the problem safely and successfully,” says Shawn Rideout, Chief Mine Rescue Officer, at the awards ceremony. “There is only one winner, but in a sense, all volunteers have won something – they all persevered through the problem, learned from it, and are better first responders because of it. At the end of the day, that’s the goal of mine rescue competitions.”

 The overall winning teams of the competition, including the champions, are as follows:

 Provincial Champion – Agnico Eagle Macassa Mine

Captain Nicholas Perrier

#2 Jackson Lafrance

#3 Jean-Francois Racine

#4 Denis Dion

Vice Captain Hubert Gour

#6 Carlie Dewar

#7 Colin Price

Briefing Officer April Belecque

Coaches: Jonathan Boutin and Cliff McGill

Mine Rescue Officers: Nick Schwehr and Shawn Shail

 Mine rescue competitions have occurred annually since 1950, acting as a province-wide, standardized evaluation of mine rescue volunteers across Ontario. The event, that spans two months, showcases the unwavering dedication of miners who constantly train to improve their knowledge and capabilities for the safety of their fellow miners and communities.

2024 Mine Rescue District Winners Announced, Finalist across Ontario will compete for Provincial Title

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mine rescue district winners announced
Finalists across Ontario will compete for provincial title

 

(May 10, 2024) SUDBURY, ON – Eight teams of mine rescue volunteers from Algoma, Kirkland Lake, Sudbury, Onaping, Thunder Bay, Red Lake, Timmins, and Southern Ontario emerged victorious during the official Ontario Mine Rescue Competitions that took place May 8 to 10. Winners will proceed to the provincial level where they compete for the coveted gold hardhats.

Mine rescue teams put their first aid knowledge to the test by retrieving a casualty from a confined space and treating a diabetic casualty with low sugars. Teams were then encouraged to use a state-of-the-art foam generator to eliminate a simulated fire, but with a challenging twist.
