CSA Mine held an event in support of R U OK Day last Thursday and plans to hold another tomorrow (to cover all crews). The event included a barbecue with R U OK cookies handed out. To show their support of the Black Dog Institute (which raises funds for mental health research), one of the mine’s Loader buckets was painted blue. Pictured in the Black Dog Bucket are CSA’s Peer Support Team members (back row) Tony Chaplain, Robert Riwai and Jarred Davey; and (front row) Amanda Marshall, Katrina Francisco, Louisa Kleu and Caitlin Thorpe. ▪ Photo contributed
