So now I’m back in the Queen City of Regina, Saskatchewan! People are back to school and I’m making an attempt to get my mind readjusted to student life. I have to turn the switch in my mind from mill worker to pre-service teacher.
We had our first day back in the classroom on Friday, August 31 and it was great to see all my old University friends once again.

So my last day at Weyerhaeuser has come and gone. With it I’ve gained a newfound respect for the forest products industry and the amount of time and effort that goes not only into the manufacturing of the OSB, but also the time spent on ensuring safe work practices. I’d like to personally thank everyone I worked with and everyone who helped teach me along the way.

Hudson Bay has always been a small town with lots of spirit and our homecoming weekend really represents that. All in all it’s a great weekend that displays the pride and sense of community in Hudson Bay. So that’s what I’m choosing to talk about here today!
This year we opened with a car show and beer gardens that brought out a bunch of car enthusiasts.

Well hello again! I think I need to come up with a better way of opening these than “hello again”… so I suppose this time I’m opening with myself pondering about better openings. That may seem strange, but it gets the job done.
I’ve had a couple of fun weeks. As promised in the last blog, I will talk about my trip to Calgary and show some pictures of my hike through Banff.

Hello once again! It’s been a fun few weeks working at Weyerhaeuser and hanging out in and around Hudson Bay.
On the Weyerhaeuser front, I’ve been working the RBS (Radiant Barrier Sheathing) line quite frequently over the last two weeks and I do feel that my forklifting skill set is slowly but surely improving. I can stack bundles without falling way behind so that’s always a good thing!

To preface, this list is totally subjective to my own interests and experiences in Hudson Bay so this is definitely not speaking for everybody or even for everything that can be done here. There are plenty of other things people enjoy here, (that I don’t) like hunting, quading, biking etc. For me, I enjoy nature oriented activities, so that’s mostly what going to take precedence in this list.

It has almost been two weeks since I last wrote in this blog and what a two weeks it has been! I cannot believe how quickly time is going by this summer. Weyerhaeuser has given me a large variety of jobs with a differentiating level of difficulty that have all been greatly satisfying to complete. I’ll detail some of those jobs here,

I would just like to open by expressing how excited I am to get to blog my experience working in the forestry industry throughout the summer! This is my first time working in the forest products industry so I am excitedly anticipating what the future months have in store for me.
I’ll spare some time to talk about myself so as to quell any confusion from potential readers of this blog.
