For the fourth straight year, PotashCorp Patience Lake has won the Surface Division of the Saskatchewan Emergency Response/Mine Rescue Skills Competition.
This is the 10th time in 13 years that Patience Lake has won this category.

A total of 15 teams competed in 2017: nine in the underground division and six in surface. Teams are tested in five areas: Fire Fighting, First Aid, Proficiency Skills (which includes a written exam), Practical Skills and response to simulated Surface and Underground Mine Problems.
