UNVEILING OF KOMATSU 980 MINING TRUCKS:
During this gathering of community members, industry guests, and employees, two Komatsu 980 mining trucks, adorned with breathtaking artwork by local First Nations artist Sandra Wiltzen, were unveiled. These trucks will be part of SMS Equipment’s fleet, to honour residential school Survivors and serve as reminder of the importance of Truth and Reconciliation.
