The hamlet of Baker Lake recently sent out a letter of appreciation to all who helped them overcome the fire that destroyed most of the hamletSA国际影视传媒檚 municipal fleet of vehicles in January.

Senior administrative officer Sheldon Dorey said Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) were there for the hamlet right off the bat.

He said in-town companies like PeterSA国际影视传媒檚 Expediting Ltd., Arctic Fuel and BLCS all provided various levels of assistance for a short period of time until the hamlet received its new vehicles.

SA国际影视传媒淭he in-town companies were a great help by offering transportation, carrying stuff up to AEM, driving people to and from, and all those kinds of things,SA国际影视传媒� said Dorey.

SA国际影视传媒淎urora Ford quickly found a couple of trucks for us and the hamlet of Enterprise, NWT, and the Little Red River Cree Nation of Alberta helped a great deal by agreeing to take a later shipping date on trucks that had been identified for them.

SA国际影视传媒淪o, Hay River Ford was able to sell us the two vehicles all ready identified for those two communities, and then they found us a chassis, as well, which worked-out well for us because we had a tank here we were able to mount upon that chassis.

SA国际影视传媒淲e really owe a lot to the two communities that allowed us to take the vehicles that were going to them because, if not, we would have had to start looking around for less-appealing vehicles in the south that were not really specifically designed for the North and we would have had to wait a lot longer to get our vehicles.SA国际影视传媒�

Dorey said when hamlets are looking to acquire new water or sewer trucks, the orders are for those specific vehicles.

He said a company like Aurora Ford may have a chassis, but they just donSA国际影视传媒檛 stock four or five sewer trucks at any time.

SA国际影视传媒淭hese vehicles are almost built individually when youSA国际影视传媒檙e ordering them.

SA国际影视传媒淵ou give them the specifications that you want SA国际影视传媒� extra springs, this lever or that lever SA国际影视传媒� and they take it from there.

SA国际影视传媒淭he municipality also received tremendous immediate and ongoing support from the Community and Government Services team, in particular, with regards to the logistics and financial requirements associated with air transportation for three newly acquired vehicles.

SA国际影视传媒淭he Hamlet of Arviat contacted us and offered one of their sewage trucks to assist until we can rebuild our fleet at sealift time and, again, one final tip of the hat to the hamlet of Enterprise and the Little Red River Cree Nation, as well as Aurora Hay River Heavy Truck Sales, for the most-appreciated parts they played in getting two new complete sewer trucks and a chassis to us in so short a time.SA国际影视传媒�
