I spent 5 years working at the bottom level of Faye Winze.
It was hot, hard, and dangerous work, but I loved it, and the pay was great.
Getting published in the Harvard Business Review as "Development Miner, Eldorado Nuclear Ltd, Uranium City Sask." was amazing.
Saving lots money and correspondence courses finally got me into a mining engineering program, and the rest is history.
The cafeteria and rec hall are still fondly remembered.

Thank you for all the effort to put this together. Although reclaimed, it will always be "home"

My brother was born there. My mom and aunt were married there. Wikapedia said you had to have special rcmp clearance and make an oath of silence to work there (been edited many times). My brother was murdered in Calgary labourday 2000 and the whole project shows sign of a masonic cover project.

Wow!!!!! I recognize the curling stuff! It was in my basement as a child!

[@kirkyoung5266]

I worked in the mill from 1977-79. I was on C shift and our foreman was Gus Bodner. Stayed in the bunkhouse across the highway in Beaver Lodge
