Tournament Jobs

Hi, Smokettes!  Here is a sign up sheet for the tournament jobs.  Lounge volunteers sit at the table and 1) sell raffle, 50/50 and beer tickets, 2) collect outstanding tournament fees and hand out team packages (this is usually/hopefully wrapped up Friday evening!) and take post game beer tickets to the teams in their dressing rooms. I know we don't know what games we are playing yet but have a look at the other times and let me know what you can do.  We'll fill those blanks in later.

Thanks!!

Teck Summer Student Program

2016 SUMMER STUDENT PROGRAM  Trail Operations is pleased to continue the Summer Student Program by offering students the opportunity to work providing vacation relief. The majority of the available positions will be operating and labour jobs in the plants. Where possible, opportunities will be matched to the student’s educational studies and prior work experience. Short-listed students must participate in an on-site selection process which includes medical clearance, fitness testing and an interview. The on-site selection process will take place in February. Although preference will be given to qualified students entering the final years of their post‑secondary program (minimum two-year program) and to students who have not participated in the summer student program in previous years, resumes will be accepted from all post-secondary students. Whether or not a first, second or third-year student would be short-listed would depend on the number of applications we receive from qualified students entering their final year of study. The same holds true for students who have participated in the summer student program previously. Students who do not include the following information in their cover letter will not be considered: name of current university or college and current area(s) of study; start date and end date student is available to work; year of the program they will be entering in September; expected graduation date (month/year); contact information while at university including e-mail address, mailing address and phone number; and, how student became aware of this posting. Interested students are requested to forward a covering letter, an up-to-date resume and an unofficial copy of his/her most recent transcripts by Friday, January 22, 2016 to hrstudent@teck.com. Applications received after 3 pm on January 22, 2016 will be placed on a wait list.  Mark Cecchini Superintendent, Employment Planning & Development

Smokette's Tournament 2016

Happy New Year Smokettes!

    Now that we have successfully made it to 2016, and the holiday rush has subsided, it is time to start planning for the 2016 Rossland Round Up tournament.  Our tournament is fully subscribed with 4 Open Men's teams, 4 Over 45 Men's Teams and 4 Women's teams. The money we raise at the tournament allows us to support local charities such as the food bank, the firemen's christmas hamper, the Michael Hinde Memorial fund, the Rotary Interact youth group, previous and current Smokette members with extenuating medical expenses, and our own scholarship.

    We need some Smokette's to step forward and help us organize the tournament.  We have a strong, solid core of experienced coordinators, but we would like to include more individuals to help lighten the load for all.   Some of the tasks that require coordination are:

Food and Beverage - that's dinner and drinks.
Lounge activities - staffing and organizing 50/50 draws, drink ticket sales, door prize and raffle ticket sales.
Smokette Roster and payment - organizing the Smokettes for our game times and collecting tournament fees ( $15 per game)
Officials - allocating officials for our games ( I have a list of local officials )
Set up and Tear down at the arena- Friday afternoon and Sunday
Door prize organization- collecting and bundling
Corporate Donation and recognition program

    All the coordinators work together, so even if it is your first time helping out, you will have lots of people to assist you if you require it.  I would like to have a meeting to discuss the tournament and get things rolling on Wednesday, January the 6th at the Tunnel Pub at  7:30 pm.  If you are interested in helping with the tournament, but cannot make that meeting, please let me know.

Thanks, looking forward to another amazing tournament!

Janice
