With Spring in sight and many of our winter programs wrapping up in the coming weeks, North Shore’s operational management team would like to recognize some individuals who demonstrated considerable effort and initiative over the last month. For the month of February, we would like to recognize the following:
Kayla Frankiw
Kayla has been an integral member of the Data Management Group since she first joined the North Shore family in July 2021. After breezing through training, Kayla jumped into the busy mix of data management and completed reporting preparation for nearly 100 projects in her first six months at North Shore. Kayla has been an effective communicator who always asks questions and is eager to learn more about environmental assessment and remediation processes. In addition to data management, Kayla has been lending out a hand on a variety of Detailed Site Assessment, Phase 2 ESA, and air monitoring projects, and has helped greatly to ensure we are meeting client reporting deadlines. She has done an incredible job of keeping organized during our busiest time of year and is a fantastic team player who is always bringing a positive attitude to our meetings. Thank you, Kayla, for all your hard work!
Mike Easton
Mike has been braving the cold in the field the last month as he completed numerous client facility inspections and fugitive emission survey programs in north central Alberta. Mike’s flexibility and initiative was clearly showcased recently by making himself available to execute on last minute client requests, as well as to lend a hand to another North Shore division for an emergency request by a client. Despite his own workload and client obligations, Mike made sure all expectations were met and North Shore’s clients and other staff members got what they needed. Mike exhibits great dedication to North Shore and our clients and is an excellent leader. North Shore is very fortunate to have him as part of our organization. Keep up the great work Mike!
Jaron Ternan
Jaron recently joined the North Shore team as a Program Coordinator on the Remediation/Reclamation team. Jaron’s first day was in the midst of our busy winter field season, and he was quickly brought into the operations of the program. Jaron took it all in stride and immediately immersed himself in the program, ensured communication with all stakeholders, and prioritized both North Shore and client requirements to ensure they were being met. Jaron has done a phenomenal job during his short time with North Shore to familiarize himself with our company, staff, and client programs. Jaron’s experience, positive and calm attitude, along with his ability to clearly communicate has helped make his transitioning of programs and projects as smooth as possible. Great job Jaron and welcome to the team!
Dave Simmill
Dave is a long-standing North Shore employee and is well ingrained as a Program Coordinator on North Shore’s Remediation/Reclamation team. Dave has had a very busy winter managing multiple client programs across the province, including much of North Shore’s ASRP funded projects which include an additional layer of complexity and management. Despite the challenges that go along with winter work and the additional requirements of the ASRP program, Dave has successfully managed his program workloads and a highly productive team of field personnel through excellent safety values, effective communication, and vast knowledge and experience with both the work being completed and the areas we are working in. Thanks for all of your efforts Dave and keep it up!
Congratulations to these four individuals! North Shore would like to thank all its staff for their hard work and contributions throughout the month of February. With COVID-19 restrictions continuing to ease, we wish everyone a safe and productive March and look forward to the spring season that will soon be upon us.
