Photo: Santa visits the miners

There’s a new stop on Santa’s delivery route: The Meadowbank gold mine near Baker Lake, where some of Agnico-Eagle’s 300 employees will work through the Christmas shift. This year, the company will fly workers’ spouses to the mine to help bring families closer together over the holiday period. On Christmas Day, Meadowbank managers will serve the workers dinner after their work-day ends. (PHOTO COURTESY OF MEADOWBANK)
