Mines Seleine Mine Rescue Team: A Source of Unmatched Pride   We are thrilled to congratulate the Mines Seleine team for participating in the annual mine rescue competition in Val-d'Or this past weekend. Over two days, nine of our brave rescuers competed against several teams from different mines across Quebec. This prestigious event, organized by the Mine Rescue Service of the CNESST in collaboration with the Quebec Mining Association (AMQ), was in its 60th edition.   This year, our team consisted of: -         Jean-François Cormier -         Michel Nadeau -         Kaven Langlois-Langford -         Guillaume Leblanc -         Tommy Poirier -         Olivier Poirier -         Philippe Pereira-Bourque -         Daniel Vigneault -         Thomas Bourque   Congratulations on the Victory!   We are immensely pleased to congratulate the Mines Seleine mine rescue team for winning the trophy for the best mission team at the provincial competition this weekend.   We are extremely proud of our rescuers who ensure the safety of all our underground employees every day. Congratulations to all!   The Commitment and Courage of the Rescuers   The Mines Seleine rescue team is composed of 18 volunteer employees who regularly train to respond to emergencies in the mine. They are trained in oxygen interventions in contaminated atmospheres, first aid, and other techniques taught by CNESST trainers. This role requires a lot of rigor, courage, and tenacity. Without the rescue team, it would be impossible to work safely in the mine.   Once again, congratulations to our exceptional team and thank you for your unwavering dedication to the safety of all our employees. You make Mines Seleine proud!

Visit of Quebec Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, Ms. Maïté Vézina Blanchette, to Mines Seleine   On May 3, our Mines Seleine facility had the pleasure of hosting a visit and tour for Ms. Maïté Blanchette Vézina, Minister of Quebec Natural Resources and Forestry for the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine regions.   Jean-Baptiste Dromer (Senior Director, Eastern Canada Operations), Patrick Gagnier (Vice-President, Sales), and Michel Plasse (General Manager, Mines Seleine) presented an overview of Mines Seleine as well as Windsor Salt's de-icing salt in Quebec prior to descending underground with the Minister for a mine tour.   The Minister met several employees during her visit, led by Gabriel Filiatrault (Mine Captain). Her feedback on the mine was very positive, and the Mines Seleine team conveyed key messages regarding the importance of the mine not only for the economy of the Îles-de-la-Madeleine but also for road safety in Quebec. The team also had the opportunity to reiterate our commitment to health and safety, the environment, and integration into island communities.   The Minister recounted the visit on social media, describing it as an incredible experience and thanking the team for the exceptional welcome. Thank you to everyone involved for a very successful visit!
