Employees at the Gahcho Kué Project demonstrated their commitment to environmental stewardship during the second annual Tidy Tundra activity.

The event drew 37 employees from across almost all departments to clean up any debris that may have accumulated over the winter and was hidden by the snow during the winter and spring. Employees volunteered to take part, and were given time during the regular work day to participate.

“We had three hours set aside and we were finished in half that time – everyone worked hard for sure!”said Dayna Meredith, Environmental Officer.

At the end of the cleanup, all participants were eligible for a draw for prizes that included a helicopter ride, meal vouchers, and De Beers gear.

Tidy Tundra originated at De Beers Snap Lake Mine in 2008 and was adopted at Gahcho Kué in 2015.

The Gahcho Kue Project is located in the Northwest Territories about 280 km northeast of Yellowknife. It is a joint venture between De Beers Canada (51% - the operator) and Mountain Province Diamonds (49%).
