Meet Our People

"Cameco has been really good to us over the years and we've all had a chance to really develop and grow as people and support our own families, so it's been pretty special for all of us." - Marty Fern

"The people I work with today are my second family. It's an awesome job. It's the best decision I ever made."

Cameco’s Cigar Lake operation is the only mine in the world that uses the jet boring system (JBS), designed specifically for our technically challenging, high-grade ore. Given the uniqueness of the technology, JBS operators are also unique mining careers.

“I have struggled with alcohol so I can talk about that. I know what it’s like to be away from family, so I can talk about that. If you are having trouble with your relationships or marriage, I can talk about that.” 

“I want people to know that it’s okay to allow themselves to feel whatever they are going through, to recognize and to accept their emotions rather than suppressing them.” 

“My purpose is to guide you on your path to strength and personal fulfilment. I welcome you and look forward to supporting you."

“People come into this world, and we all have the chance to have a good family and a good life and a good career. But sometimes it gets hard, and we can get in our own way - we close ourselves in and box ourselves in.” 

“I want to encourage our people to succeed in setting and going after their goals, whether that’s in their knowledge, in language, in their emotions or in their physical health.” 

“My strength, in being a faithful Catholic, is to bring spiritual guidance to people. I do not incorporate traditional elements of smudging or sweat lodge, but if you need prayers or if you want to be taught how to pray, I can help with that.”
