One remarkable milestone leads to another!

Meet Craig and Kerri. Two Syncrude team members who may not work directly together, but their cross-discipline collaboration resulted in one remarkable milestone leading to another in 2020. As a heavy-duty mechanic on Team 506, Craig’s team helped haul truck 100 surpass 150,000 hours in service—more than doubling its life expectancy! That kind of truck reliability, as well as teamwork and alignment across the organization helped Kerri and her team process more oil sand and break two bitumen production records. #SyncrudeProud

When our community needed us last year, we came together along with the oilsands industry and the @rmwoodbuffalo as mutual aid partners to help Fort McMurray deal with the devastation of a spring flood. This is what good neighbours do for each other.

If you’re having difficulty today, with all the challenges we are facing, know that you’re not alone. We encourage our employees and contractors to check out our Syncrude Wellness Central for some tips on how to deal with challenging emotions.
