As we embrace the new year, it’s essential to reflect on the remarkable achievements and exciting developments that have unfolded last year and through January and February. Our collective efforts have truly set the stage for a promising and successful 2024.
My year started with a visit back up to Inuvik, where the AAI Corp team worked hard to ensure the successful restart of the Inuvik Airport (CYEV) project after the Christmas break. The first weekend was a lot of fun as I got to experience the Sunrise Festival! With no sun for the previous 30 days, the 4 minutes of sun we got on that Saturday was very welcome.
Along with traditional food and dance, I was able to make some lasting friendships that I will forever be grateful for. It was also a pleasure to get some one-on-one time in the Arctic with Steve Grier. Usually, Charles, Steve, and I are on rotation and do not get to spend a lot of time with each other up North.
Providing essential hiring, training, and ongoing escorting support, we aimed to identify and eliminate any potential challenges that would impact the successful restart of the project. We are thrilled to report that the project has not only resumed smoothly but has also demonstrated a remarkable reduction in incidents since AAI Corp’s involvement. This success is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team.
Following the Inuvik project restart, we had our AAI Corp Annual Conference. As it usually does, this event serves to bring together the entire AAI Corp executive team and decision makers to align, set new goals, and envision our path forward in 2024. The collaboration and inspiring conversations serve to reaffirm our commitment to excellence.
New contracts loom on the horizon, and we anticipate a year of substantial growth for both our employees and our company.
With January and February behind us, our focus shifts towards the promising horizon that lies ahead.
As we navigate these opportunities, let’s carry forward the momentum and spirit of unity that have defined our recent successes.
Thank you all for your commitment to excellence and to our company. I say it quite often, but it truly is the driving force behind our achievements, and we look forward to celebrating many more milestones together.
As we continue to evolve and grow, we will embrace the challenges and opportunities that come our way, confident in our ability to overcome and thrive.
Here’s to a successful 2024 and the exciting journey ahead!
