My superhero,
my AltaSteel!

Inspired by the “S” on their sports shirts, reminiscent of a certain comic book superhero, the AltaSteelers did a “S”uper job in Edmonton’s superhero-themed Corporate Challenge Games by coming first in the obstacle course, winning three gold medals and placing sixth overall in their division.

Held during the Canadian summer, the games bring together businesses in the Edmonton area and over 10 000 participants on an annual basis. This is a fun-filled, 16-day event that includes a variety of friendly sporting competitions including dragon boat racing, basketball, swimming, darts, power pull (tug-o’-war) and many others.

Eighty-one employees and retirees from AltaSteel participated in the event this year, which ended with a barbeque.

The dragon boat racing team had to paddle to the beat of a drum, that was on a traditional Dragon Boat, to the finish. This sport originates from ancient Chinese custom. The long, canoe-type boat is fashioned into dragon.
