The weather tried to scare us off, but 18 bikes still rolled out for the first-ever Elk Valley Ride.
The sun eventually came through, we met some great people, shared some miles through the Elk Valley, and most importantly, raised $455 plus food donations for the Elkford Food Bank.
A big thank you to Jim Pattison Leasing, Scott’s Mechanical, Brandon Montgomery, and everyone who helped support the day.
We’re already looking ahead to next year, when the Elk Valley Ride will return as a poker run — and everyone who joined us this year will receive one free hand.
18 bikes, a little stubbornness, a great community, and a good cause. That’s a solid first year.

We are incredibly proud of our team members who go above and beyond, not just in their work, but in their hearts.

A huge shoutout and thank you to Rodney Davis, our Divisional Service Lead for Mining, who contributed his own money to support the Mining for Miracles event at Fording River. Rodney, your generosity and commitment to this cause is a true reflection of the values we stand for as a company.

Thank you for setting such an amazing example for all of us. We are lucky to have you on our team! 🙌
