The Davey Bulletin traveled to its highest northern parallel
on the globe (unofficially) while accompanying two Davey
employees on a job bid.
Blair Veitch, vice president and general manager of Canadian
operations, and Mark Turnbull, regional manager, Nanaimo,
British Columbia, headed north to meet with potential client
North West Territories Power Corporation (NWTPC) to bid
on a line clearance contract.
Making the most of their business trip, Turnbull, Veitch
and his Davey Bulletin made a pit-stop at Great Slave
Lake, adjacent to the city of Yellowknife, to visit a
frozen wonderland.

"Although it was late in the winter season, we had to stop
and check it out," Veitch said. There, an ice village is part
of an annual event called the Snowking Winter Festival,
featuring one of the North-West Territories' proudest
monuments, the Snowcastle.
"When you live that far north, if you don't celebrate the cold,
or learn to live with it, you'll never make it," Veitch said.
After a quick and cold photo with The Davey Bulletin, Vietch
and Turnbull continued their trip into Yellowknife to meet
with NWTPC representatives. How did it go?
"We got the job," Veitch said.
