On Tuesday May 23, 2017 TBT Engineering staff and families took part in the Heart and Stroke Big Bike in order to raise awareness and money for life saving Heart and Stroke research.
This year our team raised $4,029.01 for Heart and Stroke, a new team record! (Last year’s total was $3545.)
We’d like to take time to say THANK YOU to everyone that donated to a family member, friend, coworker, and those who self-sponsored!!!
None of this would be possible without the kind support of coworkers, friends, and family.
In addition to riding the Big Bike, TBT Engineering helped champion the Big Bike initiative by sponsoring an Escort Truck for the last 2 years in order to help ensure the safety of everyone riding the Big Bike.
On Friday March 10th, TBT Engineering employees fended off winter by holding one of the “hottest” events of the year! Some 90+ employees came out to try 10 different chili recipes in TBTE’s First Annual Chili Cook Off!
All 10 of the chili’s entered into the Cook Off were delicious – when the dust settled and the votes were counted, just 1 vote separated 1st place from 2nd!
It’s great to see another successful ’employee driven’ event added to our annual calendar. Until next year contestants!
It’s been a great few days at the 2017 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC). TBT Engineering was proud to once again be part of the “Northern Ontario Showcase” – showing off all the great companies from Northwestern Ontario.
TBTE employees participated in our annual ‘Candy Cane Draw’, with all of the money raised going to the Thunder Bay District Humane Society! Thank you to everyone for coming together in the spirit of giving! <3

New Gold has yet to mine an ounce of gold from the site under development located 420 kilometres west of the city but it’s already had a $70-million impact on Thunder Bay’s economy.
Twenty-seven local firms have successfully bid for contracts to construct and supply New Gold’s Rainy River project. The lion’s share of the local impact goes to EKT90, which will be constructing the mine’s on-site gold mill.
Other companies are providing a spectrum of goods and services, from roads and highways to power line management, propane, fabricated products, as well as health and safety equipment.
Some local companies have been waiting for the mining market to rebound for a generation while others continue to adapt to changing marketplace and expand their offerings.
TBT Engineering was founded in 1995, more than a decade after Northwestern Ontario’s last significant industrial developments were built. It survived through the prolonged regional recession in the energy sector by pursuing hydrological, wind and solar projects.
TBT Engineering president Rob Frenette said the New Gold development is an “unprecedented” opportunity to shift and expand his company’s focus to add mining infrastructure to its portfolio.
The company’s expertise makes up a 40 per cent share of the Ozaanaman Engineering consortium, a partnership with Fort Frances-based Saulteux Consulting & Engineering along with partners in Naicatchewenin and Rainy River First Nations.
TBT Engineering is leveraging its long-standing expertise in civic and energy infrastructure as it evolves into the region’s new mining era. Greenstone Gold contracted the company to route the highway south of Geraldton in 2011, it has studied aggregate at the Hammond Reef project and expanded transmission lines into Goldcorp’s Red Lake mine.
Frenette believes the prospect of building infrastructure north of Ontario’s existing roads and power lines will drive new demand that will fuel Thunder Bay companies.
On Tuesday, May 17, 2016 TBT ENGINEERING participated in the 2016 Heart & Stroke Big Bike Campaign to raise both funds and awareness for those affected by heart disease. 29 staff members embarked on a sunny 16-minute bike ride which took us from the Best Western (DAYS INN) around Confederation College and onto the Harbour Expressway for the final leg of our journey! We were motivated to return to this worthwhile campaign by the knowledge that we were riding to raise money for those affected by heart disease and the hope that our contribution would help to save a life. By the end of the campaign, TBT Engineering and its staff raised just under $4,000.00 for Heart and Stroke research.
A great team effort; Thank you to all those who sponsored us as well as our riders!
