Galore Creek wishes all Tahltan members a happy Tahltan Day! Each year, on October 18th, we celebrate Tahltan Day, marking the anniversary of the signing of the 1910 Declaration of the Tahltan Tribe. Galore Creek provides annual bursaries to support the educational goals of Tahltan students, announcing the recipients each year on Tahltan Day. This year, including the addition of the Ann M Ball bursary in 2021, GCMC is awarding a total of $25,000 to 16 successful applicants. We thank all students for their time and effort. Our committee was inspired by the aspirations and examples of leadership and community involvement demonstrated by each applicant. With over 60 high-quality submissions, this year’s selection process was highly competitive. Congratulations to this year’s bursary award winners. Wishing all students the very best your educational pursuits!

Galore Creek's 2024 field season wrapped up at the end of September, our crews have now demobilized from site, and our Uhtłān and Ch’iyōne camps are closed for the winter. We would like to extend a big thank you to all of our employees, partners, contractors, and consultants for your hard work towards such a safe and successful season. This year our work focused on data collection for our overall objective of completing a Prefeasibility Study and initiation of a major regulatory process. In 2024 our crews worked over 200,000 hours with no lost time injuries or high potential incidents and completed over 3,400 hours of training, including our newly implemented online site orientation. We flew over 2,400 helicopter flight hours to support multiple scopes of work across the Project including environmental baseline studies, line cutting and falling, pad building, over 4,000m of diamond drilling, over 350m of geotechnical sonic drilling, test pitting, seismic surveys, regional mapping, and various site sustaining activities. A huge congratulations to our field teams for a safe and productive 2024 season. Thank you all and looking forward to continuing our work together to advance the Project!

October 10th is the World Health Organization's World Mental Health Day. This year's theme is mental health at work. Safe, healthy working environments can act as a protective factor for mental health. Unhealthy conditions including stigma, discrimination, and exposure to harassment and other poor working conditions can pose significant risks, affecting mental health, overall quality of life and consequently participation or productivity at work. Galore Creek is committed to the health and safety of our people, including employees, contractors, and communities, through promoting a strong culture of safety and wellbeing. We aim to create a respectful, inclusive, creative, and results-driven workplace that focuses on the development of our people. World Mental Health Day is a chance to talk about mental health and how we need to look after it. Increased awareness of mental health is required on all fronts for our understanding to grow and to reduce perceived stigma.

We were grateful to be able to support Kimberley Marion and her 100% Tahltan-owned and operated Kica Contracting Ltd., 2024’s recipient for an enterprise of over 11 people. Take a look at the video highlighting Kimberley’s passion and commitment to her community: https://lnkd.in/eQe8kZTE It was inspiring to hear about all the amazing initiatives from this year’s recipients.

Galore Creek is excited to be a sponsor of this year's Nation2Nation Events Forum in Terrace. The event between October 8th and 10th brings together a diverse group of mentors, leaders, and entrepreneurs to inspire and empower Indigenous Peoples in the northwest to grow into their potential.

September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as well as Orange Shirt Day. This day is about honouring the children who never returned home from residential schools, as well as the survivors, their families, and their communities.  As part of the Galore Creek team’s commitment to reconciliation, we recognize the importance of educating ourselves about the history and ongoing impacts of the residential school system on Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Please join us in wearing orange to show your support and awareness for the importance of this day.
