Recently we supplied a large number of these Wire Rope Isolators to Surround Technologies in Maple Ridge. The isolator in the photos is the 2nd largest wire isolator made by ITT Enidine and they are going to be used to control vibration in an installation in the Arctic.

Wire Rope isolators can be small enough to fit in your pocket or as you can see by these photos, as large as a small microwave. Call Skeans for ANY SIZE of vibration control you require.

COMPANY AND EMPLOYEE NEWS

Charity and Awareness Events:

This November, the Canadian Diabetes Association wants you to know that small lifestyle changes can make a big difference. The fact is, today only one in five people living with diabetes will survive heart disease. It is essential that Canadians living with, and at risk of, diabetes improve their chances of survival by making healthy lifestyle choices everyday.
Currently 2.4 million Canadians are affected by diabetes. By 2010 that number will rise to more than 3 million. In addition, more than 6 million Canadians are living with pre-diabetes, which increases their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Many people have undiagnosed diabetes for years but don’t know it. Studies have shown that, on average, people have type 2 diabetes for up to 7 years before diagnosis. During this time, high blood glucose levels can cause serious complications, including heart disease.

Whether you are someone living with diabetes, or one of the millions of Canadians age 40 and over and at risk, visit getserious.ca to learn how you can reverse the trend. The site includes a questionnaire that will tell you your current cardiovascular age and level of risk, and offers prevention and management tips. (excerpt from www.diabetes.ca)
We can all do better. This November, learn how you can reverse the trend at getserious.ca.

All our Male Skeans staff members have been challenged to join the MOVEMBER Moustache challenge!!! Grow a moustache in November to support Prostate Cancer research in Canada

The Movember Foundation is an Australian based, not for profit, charitable organization that implements the Movember event each year across the globe. The Movember event creates awareness around men's health issues and raises funds for carefully selected beneficiary partners (that are also charitable organizations) in each country, with a focus on prostate cancer.

Since its inception as a formal charity in 2004, Movember has raised over $29 million (CAD) globally and is continuously working to increase awareness of prostate cancer within the community and change the attitude men have about their health.

Movember's beneficiary partner in Canada is the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada (PCRFC), who is the leading national organization devoted solely to eliminating the threat of prostate cancer. The PCRFC's mission is to fund research into the prevention, treatment and cure of prostate cancer by engaging Canadians through awareness, education and advocacy. All funds raised by Movember in Canada stay in Canada and go directly to the PCRFC. (excerpt from www.movember.ca)

Register on-line and start collecting your pledges now. Our winning 'stash' will be judged November 28th by our 'Ladies'.
