“This is my backyard. The highway goes through the heart of all three Bands. I’m closer to my colleagues on this project. They seem like family. You don’t just take pride in it – you want your work to last for years.”
“It’s quite nice and reassuring to work on a BCIB project. It’s a safe environment. On a union site, pretty much everybody’s ticketed. So, with more qualified people, the job gets done right the first time. … And I like that I am paid a fair wage for my expertise and can spend time with my young family instead of working too much OT. Morale is quite nice in our department, in all the departments across the site, actually.”
