Tamarack Acquisition Corp., a wholly

owned subsidiary of Tamarack Valley
Energy Ltd. Wilson Creek is a Cardium-

focused operation and includes a

operated Wilson Creek Unit No. 1,

Sulphur plant gets Suncor colours

sulphur plant after its other customer, Shell’s Montreal East Refinery, closed. “The

passionate and capable people,” says refining and supply GM John Ferris. Still, he

says, it takes a
dedicated team to

transition any facility to
Suncor. Processes and

procedures had to be
confirmed or changed

and new employees
had to go through

on-boarding into our
systems. And it all had

to be done in two
official languages.
