Site visit tour

Besides what I have been working on, this month, I was doing mostly on the investment tax credit summary for March for tax requirement  #1 and #25. The investment tax credit summary was indeed a hard one. For instance, I have to find out how many years the projects have been started and  the availability of the project for that year. I refer to the previous summary report to find out the accumulated dollar amounts has been spent for the particular projects, configuring what the rolling start numbers and long term projects. 

Oil sands which looked more like chocolate -peanut butter brownies.
Also, we had organized a site-tour to Aurora mining. This was an excellent tour that I really open my eyes to the oil industry. We took a shuttle from based plant to Aurora mining site. Firstly, we were introduced to the oil sands, also known as tar sands, which contain of sands, clays, water, and a form of bitumen. Tar, like its name implies, which is similar to its appearance, odour,  and colour.  

It was the end of semester and some of the students were done for this co-op work term. So, we had a farewell dinner for them. It was probably the last chance we got together; some said they were done with this wilderness of northen Alberta, but some said they might want to come back after graduated.
