Calgary firefighters receive Fidos. Ramp Service Supervisor Ron Cunningham and Station Attendant Jim MacCullough put 143 Calgary employees through their paces in a local firefighting course. The eight-hour exercise began with a morning classroom session utilizing slides and films to illustrate firefighting techniques followed by a tour of the ramp area. Students focused on fire control panels on the various aircraft auxiliary power units and fire control of mobile units. The afternoon 'hands on' field training featured the use of 30-pound portable extinguishers and the 350-pound wheeled unit. All participants fought four types of fire - basic trench, gravity spill, obstacle and large area spill. On completion of the final training session, the instructors were presented with model fire hydrants in appreciation of their efforts. Ron was awarded the Golden Fido Award while Jim received the Silver Fido hydrant. Members of the final training course, seen during the presentation, are, from the left: Tony Sokoloski, Ramp Service Supervisor; Dave Mayer and Gary Dawson, Station Attendants; |

London wins system soccer. London, England dethroned 1996 winners, Montreal, to capture top spot in the second annual system soccer championship, held in Montreal last September. Among the crowd of some 200 spectators, President Claude Taylor agreed that London appeared to be an early favourite during the first-round play. With a hard won 2 - 0 victory over Vancouver, London drew a bye to the final. Meanwhile, Montreal showed the same class play which led the team to last year's championship by defeating a much-improved Toronto team 1 - 0. Montreal advanced to the final against London by defeating Winnipeg 8 - 1, while Toronto continued in consolation play to trounce Winnipeg 7 - 0 and Vancouver 4 - 0. The London - Montreal final saw the Montreal host team give up an early one goal lead to leave the first half tied at 1 - 1. London dominated play with five answered goals in the second half to defeat the exhausted Montrealers 6 - 1. Bill Ramage, Director, Technical Training & Publications Maintenance, presented the system soccer trophy to Rick Snape, London team captain. The London players also received the Labatt's gold medal from Harvey Hutton, Superintendent, Power Plant. Cliff Murray, Regional Cargo Manager, Vancouver, presented the Doug Russell runner-up shield to Jim Queen of the Montreal team while Hal Walker, Employee Services & Suggestions Manager, passed the consolation trophy to Jim Langdon of the Toronto squad.
