On The Road Again
Northwest Lineman College recently delivered this TransBanker® Mobile Transformer Training Lab to Valard Construction. The TransBanker® Mobile Lab helps Valard provide safe, realistic, hands-on training to its lineworkers and employees at their job sites, minimizing down time and improving productivity. From Valard’s perspective – “The mobile lab will allow us to provide scenario based transformation training to our apprentices, helping them to become more skilled, safer tradespeople.”

Boots on the Ground Perspective
Wataynikaneyap Project
We recently caught up with Adam Peters of Pikangikum First Nation – read on for his thoughts about the project.
My father always used to tell me ‘Go to school my son, get an education, so you can make a difference for your people.’ His words still resonate with me as strongly in my adulthood, as they did in my adolescence. I have now been employed with Valard for 10 months, and my father’s words have never had more significance.
Working for Valard has been a remarkable experience as it has taught me many things about my character – perseverance, endurance, resilience, just to name a few. I know that, by tapping into my full potential, I will not only contribute to the growth and prosperity of First Nations people, but to society as a whole.
Connecting our neighbouring communities to the grid not only brings me satisfaction, as I see each tower I helped assemble erected, but it brings me purpose. My work will affect generations to come, long after I’m gone. Valard has brought such a wonderful opportunity and I am grateful to be a part of this project.
