What a great day it was for a parade! It’s twice

What a great day it was for a parade! It’s twice the celebration for us this year, while we are celebrating our 60th anniversary in our beautiful community, we also celebrate Canada’s 157th birthday.
Being part of the Canada Day parade held a very special meaning for us this year as we look back on our history and celebrate all the changes and growth we have been a part of over the past 60 years.
We would like to thank our amazing team of volunteers who without this would not be possible: Najah Musa, Jama Abdi, Tannis Wilson, Shaneille Williams, Sherry McDonald, Jean Paul Dingle, Paula Payne and Rizwan Zia – you are absolutely amazing.
Happy Birthday Canada – looking forward to many more celebrations! #CanadaDay2024 #parade #SafelyHome #CommunityEngagement

A commendation for the driver of the bus that was

A commendation for the driver of the bus that was struck by lightning came in directly from the client.
Commendation from Toni Elliott, team manager of the 13U AA Oil Giants for Nadeem Aslam:

‘After taking the day to reflect on the events that unfolded yesterday as we drove back to Fort McMurray from Slave Lake, on behalf of the 13U AA Oil Giants, we want to recognize the quick thinking of our driver, Nadeem Aslam.
There were 12 players, 1 young sibling, 4 coaches and 6 parents (total of 23 passengers) riding on the bus when the lightning struck it just outside of Wandering River yesterday. Some of the kids were scared by the flash of lightning and crash of thunder, but the adults recognized the blown tire and knew what a serious situation we were in. Nadeem, however, was so cool, calm and collected, and was able to pull us over to safety. Only then did we realize that it was so serious, with several blown tires, making Nadeem’s ability to keep control even more impressive. He was able to prevent a terrible tragedy and we cannot overstate our appreciation and gratitude to him!
We have always appreciated Nadeem’s stellar service as our charter bus driver and request him every time. We will continue to request him; hopefully he won’t see us as the “bad luck team that got his bus struck by lightning” because we see him as the “bus driver that kept us safe when our bus was hit by lightning”!

A big Oil Giants thank you to Nadeem from:

Cameron
Campbell
Chance
Connor F

And our coaches and families!’

Diversified Driver Keeps His Cool After His Coach

Diversified Driver Keeps His Cool After His Coach is Struck by Lightning
One of our veteran drivers/driver trainer proved his exemplary driving skills this past weekend. On Sunday, Nadeem Aslam was driving the U13AA Oil Giants back to Fort McMurray from Slave Lake when the bus was struck by lightning near Wandering River.
The lightning strike caused both of the front tires to blow and the back tires to start losing air. Nadeem was able to maintain control of the vehicle and brought it to a safe stop with no injuries.
There were 24 passengers on board and a rescue bus picked them up and drove everyone back to Fort McMurray. Nadeem’s exemplary driving skills, quick thinking and focus on safety resulted in everyone getting #SafelyHome – thank you, Nadeem! #employeeappreciation #herobusdriver #thankyou

The following commendation for Agustino Madut was

The following commendation for Agustino Madut was submitted on June 14th by the Operations Team.

"On the evening of June 14, while travelling southbound on Hwy 63 coming from Syncrude Site with passengers on board, a 3rd party vehicle travelling in the left-hand lane decided to suddenly change lanes and failed to notice your unit travelling alongside. Unfortunately, during this dangerous maneuver, the car contacted the side of our unit, then the front of it and finally the passenger side of it before losing control and hitting the ditch. Luckily no one was hurt during this incident including the driver of the 3rd party vehicle. The driver of our unit, instead of panicking, maintained his composure and let his defensive driving skills take over and managed to keep the unit aligned to the right side of the highway and come to a complete stop without creating another incident with other motorists and keeping his passengers safe from harm."

Agustino – thank you for your impressive defensive driving skills and for displaying our first Core Value – Safety and ensuring everyone got #SafelyHome. #EmployeeRecognition #Congrats

One thing we don't take lightly is giving back to

One thing we don't take lightly is giving back to the community, and this past week, we had the opportunity to do just that not once but twice.
On June 13th, we supported the 2024 Birdies Fore Business Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament. It was a day where community spirit and entrepreneurial vision converged, fostering connections that will continue to drive growth and prosperity. We were happy to be part of this event and feel very fortunate to be part of such a diverse community.
On June 15th, we supported the SMS Children's Miracle Network Golf Tournament. The Children's Miracle Network® raises funds and awareness for 170 member hospitals, 13 of which are in Canada. Donations stay local to fund critical treatment and healthcare services, purchase pediatric medical equipment, support research, and create healing environments for kids and families.
A huge thank you to our dedicated volunteers, Melissa Stride, Sapna Sharma and Sheresee Miller, for helping us provide some fun while raising funds for some very worthwhile organizations. #GivingBack #communityinvolvement #SafelyHome

The following commendation came in for Evelyn Delo

The following commendation came in for Evelyn Delotavo, coach operator Fort Hills:
“The bus I took from main admin to Logan lodge was bus 5468 and it arrived at Logan at approximately 19:12pm. I just want to make sure that her leadership is aware of the impressive work ethic this lady shows. The pride in how she keeps her bus is immediately noticeable. You can walk onto her bus and you will think it is a new bus. It is remarkable. I wish all of the busses looked like hers. There is no dirt/dust on the seats, the floors look like you can eat off of them. As we waited to leave Main Admin she was busy wiping dust from her dash and windows. She has a mop bucket onboard. t is spectacular. I hope she is recognized for her efforts somehow. This is clearly above and beyond the rest of the busses onsite!"
Evelyn, thank you for your strong display of dedication and loyalty – your pride in your work is exemplary and we thank you so much for leading by example.

On June 6th and 7th Diversified’s General Manage

On June 6th and 7th Diversified’s General Manager, David Richards and Senior Director of Business Development, Scott Steffler were in Elko, Nevada for the Elko Mining Expo. This is one of the oldest and most respected mining expos in the US and it was not an easy feat securing a spot - so to say we were excited to be there is an understatement.
Every summer, thousands of people with ties to the mining industry converge on Elko, NV for this expo and we were there to network and make connections along with more than 350 exhibitors from throughout the industry.
We’re looking forward to expanding our network and the potential opportunities in new areas.

Fire came knocking again on Fort McMurray’s door

Fire came knocking again on Fort McMurray’s door on May 14th. An evacuation order was issued for several Fort McMurray neighborhoods and as is natural, most people started reliving the panic they felt in 2016. Many residents decided to evacuate even if they were not in the areas ordered to do so which caused gridlock on the main arteries heading out of town. Businesses, clients and community groups were also of course looking for evacuation services.

As usual, our operations team and drivers came together and got the job done! Nordia Grant, as always, acted as the ops centre quarterback, moving resources around like clockwork. Laurie Kennedy, Imran Bangash and Vedaste Mugabe helped move drivers around to where they needed to be. Ashley Strobel helped take calls in the ops centre as well, while the HR, training and recruitment team helped call drivers over the following 24 hours to ensure everyone was safe and see who was available for work. It was a massive team effort and again, we demonstrated that we always come through in a crisis! #SafelyHome #EmployeeRecognition #crisisresponse #Teamwork

A couple of weeks ago several members from our Fort McMurray Leadership Team headed up to Fort Hills to visit with our employee group there.
One of the reasons for that visit was to deliver jerseys to the soccer team that has been operating there within our employee group.
There were a few members on hand at the time, but over the past few weeks, the jerseys have been distributed to the entire team. Next on the agenda is to set up a match between the Senior Leadership Team and the Fort Hills soccer team – game on! #SafelyHome #FortHills #FriendlyRivalry #soccer
