This will be the last of my blogs, so thank you once again to the sponsors and you the readers! I hope that things were up to snuff and entertaining enough for everyone. It’s been a slice and has allowed me to reflect on the shenanigans and adventures of the summer.

Well my friends, summer is starting to wind down for me here at Slave Lake Plywood. I have one week of work left and then it’s back to Thunder Bay for school (actually for the first two weeks of September I’ll be in South Africa for school) but after that it’s TBay all the way.

So in the interim between the spring plant and the summer plant which is starting at the start of July Taylor and I helped out the harvest planning and operations teams. Like I said last week, creek crossing inspections were a part of that. We also joined the area supervisors to help them with block recon and layout.

Hey Everyone. Right! So, my name is Ryan Wilkie and I’m currently attending Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, taking the Honours Conservation & Planning and Management program. I’ve just finished my third year at LU, Lakehead University and will be returning in the fall for my fourth and final year of my undergrad. Holy crap, where did the time go?
