JUNE 2016 • CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR • 5 regional newsBCPCA Regional MessageBy Rob BatemanAll is quiet on the Western Front for the BCPCA at the moment. It seems that all our members are busy with projects or expanding service workloads. We can report though that at our last AGM, we elected a new President of the BCPCA and assigned new positions for some of the direc-tors. Margot Middleton is the new President, and many of you had the opportunity to meet her at the recent CPCA – AGM in Quebec City.Margot has been in the business for a long time; Middleton Petroleum passed the 25-year mark at least ﬁve years ago. She was involved in the re-start of the BCPCA and active with the Steering Committee in the initiative to develop a training program and trade status for BC tech-nicians. She has been an energetic and strong contributor to the board of directors making her election as President an excellent choice.We would like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing President, Mike Christie for his contribution over the last year.Our main activity over the next few months will be working with ITA to update our certiﬁcation exams and our training mate-rial. We have a meeting scheduled with ITA staff in early June. We are also discussing the ways in which we can work with CPCA to con-solidate our training process and materials. This is a challenge because of the involvement of the ITA in the examination process and the trade status of the industry in BC, but we have had some good ideas and will proceed to work on these with everyone involved.In BC there is really no inspection re-quirement for fuel-related installations and of course this has led to incompetent contrac-tors performing this work. We are working on ways to communicate with government agen-cies to explain the necessity of establishing standards.Many of us are experiencing the effects of the low oil prices on the retail fuel service clients. The pressure to reduce our labour rates and parts margins has been very strong despite the increasing costs we have in these areas. My advice is: do your homework. APSSCA Regional MessageBy Marcus CormierAs summer ﬁnally approaches, the Alberta Board has been working on preparations for our Annual General Meeting being held at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino in Calgary on June 8 at 10am, as well as our 18th Annual Golf Tournament being held on June 9 at the Si-rocco Golf and Country Club in Calgary. I want to thank all the board members, volunteers, and sponsors that help make this a ﬁrst-class event year after year. In a recent annual newsletter to members, we talked about the board having sent a let-ter to AB Municipal Affairs recommending the formal adoption of CSA B139 Code for oil burn-ing equipment. The letter was well received and the board will be involved in follow-up discussions throughout the upcoming year. We hope that you are able to attend the AGM as we will be hearing a presentation from our guest speaker Bruce Taylor (with the technical services division of the City of Edmonton) on some of the problems he and his department have been observing in the ﬁeld with respect to these types of installations. We will try to obtain a copy of his presentation and post it on the APSSCA website for any members that want to review it. This year, we have two long-standing dir-ectors that will be retiring from our board of directors: Pat White (Leak Technologies Solu-tions Ltd.) and Mike Brochu (All Peace Petrol-eum. Mike is also one of our Past Presidents and will be helping us occasionally with spe-cial projects. It has been a pleasure serving with both of them and on behalf of the entire board; I want to thank them for their many years of service, energy, and contributions to our association. MPCA Regional MessageBy Chad Kenwood The MPCA has been weathering a number of changes over the last year speciﬁcally within the Board structure. Due to these changes, our association has not been as active as we like. However, we have a number of possible candidates for MPCA membership. We have reached out to these companies and have re-ceived good response to date. We anticipate holding a general meeting this coming fall in-cluding inviting speakers to discuss bacteria corrosion of inner tanks and address installa-tion concerns. With respect to regulation and compli-ance, LPT Inspection of all fuel sites in Mani-toba was to be ﬁnished by June 2016. Final upgrades to bring old sites to within compli-ance is still on going, but work on major oil fuel sites have been completed.We have been working with Manitoba Conservation with respect to regulation issues including the ongoing development of the Act and any improvements that may need to be addressed. We are also lobbying regulators to mandate the CPCA PMH or site operator course for service station operators to perform minor maintenance and to operate their sites. Manitoba Conservations is also working on departmental updates including website docu-mentation. We have invited them to provide an update of this as well as their expectations for facility operators and Licensed Petroleum Technicians moving forward into 2017 in a fu-ture issue. We look forward to this and contin-ued evolvement of our association.

8 • CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR • JUNE 2016Special guest speaker was David Mason of Canada Brokerlink. Dave has been working with the CPCA on a campaign to help con-tractors better understand their cost structures and make better decisions about the projects and/or activities that they are willing to undertake to get the best return for the use of their people and capital resources. The tool is especially useful for small contract-ors who may not evaluate their business on a regular basis. The CPCA will be publishing the information and the interactive model will be available to members in the coming weeks. An important mandate for CPCA is to maintain the training and certiﬁcation program for members across Canada. We now have well over three hundred CPCA licensed individuals, 33 of those are new licenses issued over the last year. David Mason de Canada Brokerlink était le conférencier in-vité. David Mason a travaillé avec la CPCA lors d’une campagne visant à aider les entrepreneurs à mieux comprendre leurs struc-tures de coûts et à prendre des décisions plus judicieuses au sujet de projets ou d’activités qu’ils sont prêts à entreprendre en vue d’obtenir le meilleur rendement possible pour l’utilisation de leurs ressources humaines et leurs ressources en capital. L’outil mis en place est notamment très utilisé par les petits entrepreneurs qui ne sont pas en mesure d’évaluer leurs activités de façon régulière. La CPCA publiera les renseignements et le modèle interactif uti-lisé sera accessible aux membres dans les prochaines semaines. La CPCA s’est donnée pour mandat essentiel de continuer à offrir le programme de formation et de certiﬁcation aux membres, d’un bout à l’autre du Canada. Notre association compte désormais plus de 300 membres certiﬁés CPCA, dont 33 ont obtenu leur per-mis l’année passée. La CPCA a également lancé son site Web d’apprentissage en 2015.

The site is a companion to the home study course in addition to our study manual and in class review and contains online learning tools such as quizzes and video tutorials. We believe this form of blend-ed learning – part home study, part online and part classroom – improves the engagement for students. It also helps us monitor students progress and completion of the home study course so they come better prepared to the in class review session. Also as part of our training and certiﬁcation mandate is to work with ofﬁcials from the Labour Mobility Coordinating Group to ensure all individuals with a recognized trade and/or certiﬁ-cation can work province to province as per the Agreement on Internal Trade. CPCA President Marcus Cormier commented on the event say-ing “…This was a ﬁrst class event. Thank you to everyone that was involved in organizing it and a special thanks to Jacques Poulin, Myriam Michaud and Michelle Rae for handling all the logistical details. I know it is not easy to put together an event like this one, but it was well done and the feedback from members was positive. And thank you to all the CPCA board members who travelled to Quebec City. I think we had some good conversation during our time there and I’m looking forward to building on our discussions over the coming year.” Thank you to all for your participation and support, this made our event a great success! des outils d’apprentissage en ligne comme des questionnaires et des tutoriels par vidéo.

Je sais qu’il n’est pas facile de prévoir un évènement de ce type, mais j’ai pu constater que le travail a été bien fait et la ré-troaction des membres a été positive. Je remercie tous les membres du conseil d’administration de la CPCA qui se sont rendus à Québec.

JUNE 2016 • CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR • 11 905-738-9662PLANES • TRAINS • BUSESThe second day of the conference began with a safety forum hosted by the OPCA and centered around the Petroleum Oriented Safety Train-ing (POST) program, a national behavior-based safety program speciﬁc to the petroleum industry. Also, special thanks to Rob Rivers of Claybar Contracting, Russ Por-ter and Mike Lamont of National Energy Equipment and Scott Eadie of SAS Petroleum for helping us organize the event. Also, special thanks goes out to Russ for doing a terriﬁc job as Master of Ceremonies.There were a number of presentations given at the forum. Rob Riv-ers spoke on the role of supervisors emphasizing their responsibilities on the job site and providing good leadership and a lead-by-example be-havior in the workplace. Mike Lamont gave a presentation on forecourt safety, including the importance of following POST barricading proced-ures, showing examples of accidents when protocols are not followed. Cindy Phillips of Washtech presented their companies “Work Alone” mobile app. The app monitors service technicians working alone by prompting them to check in periodically and alerts their ofﬁce if they miss a scheduled check in (stay tuned for more information on this!). John Aird of Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Prevention Services provided an overview of occupational health and safety issues and legislative developments impacting petroleum contractors such as Working at Heights, WHMIS (and the global harmonization system), the new Joint Heath and Safety Committees Certiﬁcation Standard and new noise regulations coming into effect. Information, including John’s presentation, is available on the OPCA website. The OPCA also developed a survey to ascertain the audience’s level of engagement with respect to safety and POST philosophy. Ron Ballan-tyne, consultant for the OPCA, conducted the survey. Audience mem-bers were polled in real time and results were displayed immediately for discussion. It provided some positive insight on everyone’s com-mitment to safety. A video of this presentation is available through the POST website at posttraining.ca. Our keynote speaker for the forum was Workplace Safety Advo-cate, Candace Carnahan. In keeping with the theme of POST, Candace used her own experience of a devastating workplace accident to inspire people to have the “Courage to Care” through standing up for others. Candace’s energy and passion for safety deﬁnitely left an impression with the audience. We have already started planning the 2017 conference, which will take place March 7-9 at the International Plaza Hotel right across from the Toronto Congress Centre; the new venue for the 2017 Convenience U CARWACS Show.

Pilkey Service Station Maintenance LOCATION: Burgessville, Ontario TELEPHONE: 519.424.9121 WEBSITE: rapilkey.com OWNERS: Brian and Lisa Pilkey NUMBER OF YEARS IN BUSINESS: 37 years CURRENT NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES: 5 AREAS SERVICED (GEOGRAPHIC): Southwestern Ontario COMPANY HISTORY In the summer of 1979, I (Rick Pilkey) resigned from Hague’s and took my family on vacation to the East Coast. When we re-turned, my wife, Susan and I formed R.A. Pilkey Service Station Maintenance. We started out with a 1974 Ford F100, which we purchased from Susan’s father. Every new business owner hopes to have plenty of business from the start. For us, service station work started out with a big disaster. In August of 1979, an F4 tornado tore through Oxford County, Woodstock and other nearby communities including Ox-ford Centre, New Durham and down to Vanessa. The aftermath generated all kinds of work for us: repairing pumps at service stations and farms, pumping out and recovering skid tanks which had blown quite a distance and landed in a local cemetery. Building a lasting relationship with many local gas stations in the area, some of these are now gone. However, R.A. Pilkey still works closely with the mom-and-pops to the service and keep them compliant. We’ve had a number of employees over the years. My son, Chris, worked with us from the time he graduated high school in 1994 until 2013 when he passed away from cancer. By this time, I was beginning to slow down, so in 2014, I sold the business to my cousins (Brian and Lisa Pilkey). R.A. Pilkey is still based in the main shop at 45 Burgess Street in Burgessville, with three service trucks on the road, a small backhoe and a ﬂoat. Brian continues to keep busy with installations, decommissions and minor repairs. From time to time, I still work for Brian on site or giving technical advice. MEMBER PROFILE: R.A. PilkeyR.A.
