The mine reached full-scale production by year-end. This success continued in 2017 with the restart of the Perry Creek-Wolverine mine near Tumbler Ridge. As a result\, about 400 mining jobs have returned to the area.

The result of the integrity process will produce a win-win for the owners of an organization\, management\, the workforce\, and community. Building Integrity not only addresses business growth plans but also a personal journey into character development. Book two is expected to be released in 2017 and will focus on refining integrity with the end result of implementation material\, encouraging and customized work needs for specific circumstances\, and to challenge us to lead transformation by defining our personal character.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker:                                            \n\n        \n\nLuncheon Sponsor:
