SMS Equipment is holding a job fair in Prince George today and Friday at the Ramada Hotel, part of Western Canada-wide recruitment effort of welders and heavy-equipment technicians.
The job fair runs from 10 am to 8 p.m. both days.
SMS Equipment, one of the largest Komatsu dealers in Canada, says it will have a group of recruiters on site that can pre-screen and move the applicants resume on very quickly.
As well as its Human Resources team, a group of employees that work in the field will be on hand to answer any technical questions.
AIR QUALITY FORECASTS IMPROVED
The BlueSky Western Canada Forecasting System has been expanded this year to include smoke forecasts from all the Western provinces, as well as areas of the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Ontario and the U.S. border states.
The BlueSky system combines forest fire information and weather forecasts to provide the location and concentration of smoke over Western Canada up to 48 hours into the future. Operated by the University of British Columbia's department of earth and ocean sciences, smoke forecasts are produced daily and displayed in visual animations of locations corresponding with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations due to smoke.
People can simply visit BlueSky to see hour-by-hour forecasts of smoke and wildfires in Western Canada available on the B.C.'s air quality website: www.bcairquality.ca/bluesky.
