June

Early this month, I was helping in preparing the year-end reports to be reviewed by the owners. After Mel finished off with the financial reports, he then showed me the reports before sending off to the owners. Also, there was a co-worker going on vacation so she had trained me to do deposits for her while she was away for holidays. I was glad that I learnt something new other than taxation.

At the beginning of June, I had organized to visit the oil sands discovery centre. There was about 10 of us were going to the centre.  We were introduced to the process of oil sands mining, some of the heavy equipment being used in the process, different mining method to mind oil sands and materials by different companies due to different mine conditions. Today, many of these old heavy equipment were donated by the companies.

Besides that, I also volunteered for golf tournament at Syncrude Boreal Open on a weekend. I was assigned to work at the main scoreboard with another two students.
