B&M Receives 2010 Environmental Achievement
Award from Canadian Construction Association
Adrian Morrison RVP Atlantic Region, and
Mike Sharp, RVP Northern Ontario, accept
the Canadian Construction Association’s
Environmental Achievement Award at the 2011
CCA Conference in Hilo, Hawaii.
This national award was created in 1991 to
recognize innovative or exemplary environmental
conduct; it is given to the contractor who
demonstrates exceptional environmental
leadership within the construction industry. The
CCA recognized Black & McDonald for making
environmental protection a core element of
its corporate responsibility.
The Asphalt Bandidos Ride To Conquer Cancer
The Asphalt Banditos hit the road on
Saturday, June 11 and Sunday, June 12,
joined by 4,600 fellow riders in The
Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer in
support of the Princess Margaret Hospital
(one of the top five cancer research
centres in the world) in Toronto. The
ride was an intense 215-km, 8-hour
journey from Toronto to Niagara Falls.
The Bandito Cheerleaders went alongside
the team proudly flying the B&M flag
displaying notes of encouragement and
support, names of past survivors of
loved ones and those who have passed
which we remember – the reason for
the Ride! Together the team was able
to raise $39,000. Black & McDonald’s
commitment towards the community
we work and live in was demonstrated,
not only by the company, but especially
by the individual members of the Asphalt
Banditos!
The Asphalt Banditos are geared up for
the 2012 ride – are you ready for the
challenge?

Power Generation Region Awarded Two Outage Cups
The Outage Cup is awarded by Ontario Power Generation each
week during an outage to a contractor which has gone above and
beyond OPG’s expectations. In June, Black & McDonald’s Power
Generation Region successfully completed Outage D1111 at the
Darlington Nuclear Generating Station; during this outage, B&M
was awarded two Outage Cups.
The first Cup was awarded for the piping replacements on an
emergency service water system. This unit was in a vulnerable
state during the execution of the work, so it was imperative to
execute the work as per specific instructions in the work plan.
This job was completed successfully, safely and ahead of schedule.
The second Cup was awarded for the excellent work we
provided while repairing low wall conditions (welding) on the
Moisture Separator Heaters. This work was awarded late and it
was difficult to pull together the resources to execute the work
in a limited amount of time given in order to meet the schedule.
The scope of this job continued to grow as the work progressed
without the date of completion being changed to reflect the scope.
As a result of sound planning, solid turnovers and teamwork the
desired end date was safely and successfully met.
Power Generation Region is very proud of these two
accomplishments. Our client, Ontario Power Generation,
Darlington Nuclear were also impressed with our performance
and in addition to the award of the Outage Cups a letter of
recognition was sent out on behalf of their Outage Manager.
Winning these Cups demonstrates our strong belief in our Code
of Business; coupled with hard work, meeting any challenge is
possible!

Becoming Imperial Oil’s General Service Provider
For Oil & Gas Distribution Facilities Across Canada
and safety procedures. That familiarity
is the key to getting a job done properly,
whether it’s a simple installation of an
office whiteboard, a regular inspection of
a specialized piece of equipment, or a fullscale renovation of a section of a facility,
Since the contract was awarded in early
May, B&M began an intensive period of
preparation, hiring and assigning project
managers; putting standardized business
and reporting systems in place; and
training our people in Imperial Oil’s safety
training program, the Loss Prevention
System (LPS). “The startup was a strong
test of our use of communications
technology” says Eric Tolton, B&M’s
Senior Project Manager responsible
for startup. “We used webinars, video
conferences and teleconferences on a
regular basis to communicate, coordinate,
train and even to have brainstorming
sessions. It brought people from across
the country on to the same page quickly
and efficiently, and helped us to meet the
client’s goal of coast to coast consistency.”
On July 1, with standardized systems in
place nationally, we began work in earnest.
Black & McDonald is now serving
facilities on all three Canadian coasts
and everywhere between, in locations
as diverse as Nanaimo and Lougheed,
British Columbia; Inuvik and Hay River,
NWT; Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta;
Regina and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan;
Winnipeg, Manitoba; Sarnia, Toronto and
Ottawa, Ontario; and Dartmouth, Nova
Scotia and Cornerbrook, Newfoundland.
The lessons we have learned working in
remote locations through Canadian Base
Operators has allowed us to execute in the
far north for Imperial Oil.
Securing the contract required
the input of a wide array of specialty
expertise within the company, including
input from AMEC Black & McDonald,
Canadian Base Operators, and the Power
Generation Region. Thanks go out to
Marcel Brissette, Randy Docherty,
Brett Barnett, Gary Citrigno, Lester
Buckland, and Ken Steele.
Black & McDonald is making a
substantial commitment in people to the
GSP contract: One senior project manager,
two regional project managers, 15 project
managers, 10 project administrators,15
dedicated site technical personnel, and
approximately 200+ subcontractors.
These people are all supported by B&M
technical tradespeople throughout the
B&M network of offices, and by B&M
office administrative staff.
Project Managers dedicated to Imperial
Oil include Robin Mallinder (BC),
Gord Olson (Alberta), John Semple
(NWT), Trevor Brown (Saskatchewan),
Randy Docherty (Manitoba and Western
Canada), Brett Barnett (Ontario and
Eastern Canada), and Lester Buckland
(Atlantic). Site Supervisors include Bill
Dryden (BC), Dave Morrow (Alberta),
Dave Moody (Saskatchewan), Matt
Foster (Sarnia/Nanticoke), Dave
Lawrence (Finch), Stephane Chollette
(Ottawa), Mitch Tremblay (Sudbury)
and Jason Buckland (Dartmouth).
Gary Citrigno is also involved as an
expert resource. Special thanks to Randy
Docherty, Brett Barnett, and Eric
Tolton for their key roles during the
startup phase of the contract.

People Resources at B&M
The People Resources Group at Black & McDonald believes
the success of any business depends on the people who make
up the team. Through continuous improvement and human
resource initiatives our mission is to provide the right tools for our
management and employees to enjoy long-term business success.
Justine Lachapelle (left), Mike Callan, and
Mike Kozlowski (right) ride the Rideau
Saturday September 11, 2010 could not have been a more
perfect day for a bike ride from Ottawa to Merrickville and that’s
exactly what 13 members of the “Black and Mac Pack” did as
part of the Ride the Rideau challenge. No small feat either as this
was a 100-km bike ride for a worthy cause – the Ottawa Hospital
Cancer Foundation. In total almost $1 million was raised for the
foundation by approximately 500 cyclists.
Led by Northern Ontario Vice President, Mike Sharp,
the B&M team consisted of: Lise Sharp, Peter Tuck, Lisa
Tuck, Mike Callan, Mario Blondin, Justine Lachapelle,
Mike Kozlowski, Steve Kiebert, Laurent Dubois, Ian
Ewing, Kendal Maki and Kim Miltimore. With the generous
donations of employees, friends, family, suppliers and B&M this
team raised over $25,000. Thanks to everyone who supported
the team and this very worthy cause.
The “Black and Mac Pack” are gearing up once again on
September 10, 2011 to ride the Rideau. Here’s hoping for another
great ride in support of a great cause!
An Enthusiastic Turnout for
Volunteer Day in Quebec
For the second consecutive year, Black & McDonald participated
with great enthusiasm in the volunteer day organized by our client
JTI Macdonald Corp. The purpose was to restore a group home
(shelter) facility for young adults in difficulty.
Continuous Improvement
The B&M Way training session has recently been modified into
a 4½-hour course. It is still filled with the same messages of our
Mission, Vision, Code of Business and the Six Measures of Success;
however tailoring the format makes it easier for regions to send new
employees to the training, which has been very well received.
Another improvement to the way we offer training is through the
use of video conferencing for the B&M Way booster sessions. This
allows us to deliver the same message in a more cost effective way
with more scheduling flexibility. Three booster sessions have been
delivered this way in two regions with positive reviews.
We have also launched a new program available to regions at any
time. The Bright Ideas Program is a three-week program designed
to encourage employees to submit their continuous improvement
ideas. This program, piloted in the SWO Region last December, is a
great way to get people talking about their suggestions for making
Black & McDonald an even stronger company.
We are also working on improving the database we currently use for
our customer surveys, developing a compilation of B&M subject matter
experts, and providing additional support for regional B&M Way
initiatives. For more information about the B&M Way program, contact
your Regional Improvement Coordinator.
Human Resources
Our HR team is currently working with a national, industry-led
organization to develop a mentorship program, which will assist
with new employee development. In addition, a recruitment
guidebook will soon be made available to help in our efforts to retain
our top performers, and attract the most qualified candidates. We are
also continuing to implement our Manager’s Toolkit, which contains
information on performance appraisals, career development, and
succession planning.
A number of services have been added by both our Employee
Assistance and Standard Life benefits providers. You can find out
more about these by logging on to our internal sharepoint network
and opening the ‘HR’ tab.
We are also excited to announce an effort to make our Employee
Survey more accessible to our employees; beginning this year it
will be available online! This will further ensure efficiency and
confidentiality of your responses and allow for more comprehensive
feedback reports for your managers. Stay tuned.
Black & McDonald’s human resources and continuous
improvement efforts are a testament to its belief that its success
depends on the people within the organization. The People Resource
Group strives to not only meet the needs of employees but also helps
to position Black & McDonald as an employer of choice.
