This Seniors Week, we want to take a moment to recognize the seniors in our community and the people and groups who support them year-round.

Every June, as the province celebrates Seniors Month, communities throughout British Columbia come together to honour the contributions, wisdom, and lifelong impact of older adults. This year's Seniors Week theme — Gather. Play. Celebrate. Connecting Communities and Cultures — captures that spirit, with free events, wellness activities, social gatherings, and educational programs taking place province-wide from June 1 to 7 and throughout June.

Here on the North Shore, Seniors Week is marked by events and activities across the community — including the 8th Annual North Shore Seniors' Health Expo on June 19.

At Neptune, we are grateful to work alongside MONOVA: Museum & Archives of North Vancouver, Parkgate Community Services Society, North Shore Community Resources, and Presentation House Theatre — each offering initiatives that keep seniors in our community connected, supported, and engaged.

This International Wild Salmon Day, we are grateful for the organizations and communities working every day to protect wild salmon and the habitats they depend on.

Neptune sits on the shores of Burrard Inlet and alongside other waterways that are part of the wild salmon's journey, and for us, supporting local initiatives that protect salmon habitat on the North Shore is part of our commitment to environmental stewardship.

That includes partnering with the North Shore Streamkeepers, dedicated to monitoring and improving streams and waterways across the North Shore, as well as the Seymour Salmonid Society and their Gently Down the Seymour program, giving elementary school students a hands-on introduction to salmon conservation at the Seymour River Fish Hatchery and Education Centre.

Through the Lynn Creek Estuary Restoration, we have also collaborated with University of British Columbia to restore bull kelp populations in Burrard Inlet, providing critical habitat for juvenile salmon and other marine life.

On this day, we are reminded of how much meaningful work is being done to protect wild salmon, and how vital it is to keep investing in that work for generations to come.

From the archives: construction of Neptune's second potash shed in 1992.

Built to support potash handling at our terminal, Shed 2 joined Shed 1 — originally built when Neptune opened in 1968 — as part of the infrastructure that helps store and protect potash when needed before it is loaded for export.

Today, Shed 2 has a storage capacity of 100,000 metric tonnes and continues to support the movement of Canadian potash from Saskatchewan mines to international markets.

It's one example of how our terminal infrastructure has evolved over time to support Canadian resources moving through Neptune, while continuing to operate within the same footprint.

Among the most recognizable pieces of equipment at a bulk terminal such as Neptune are the shiploaders.

At our terminal, shiploaders help move steelmaking coal and potash onto vessels through conveyor and loading systems.

Shiploading is one of the final steps in the export supply chain before Canadian resources leave the terminal for international markets.

We are excited to welcome Wesley Jane Penman to the Neptune team as our Human Resources & Communications Intern for Summer 2026!

Wesley brings a genuine passion for people, culture, and communication — shaped in part by years of playing team sports, where she developed a deep appreciation for leadership, teamwork, and what it takes to build a strong culture.

Over the coming months, she will have the opportunity to explore not only HR and Communications, but also other areas across the business. As she puts it: "This co-op is giving me a well-rounded introduction to how a successful business functions."

When asked about her experience so far, Wesley shared: "The team has made my experience so positive by happily answering questions, sharing advice, and offering insight into how Neptune operates."

We are glad to have you on the team this summer, Wesley. Welcome!

Did you know potash has its origins in ancient inland seas?

Millions of years ago, vast bodies of water covered parts of what is now Saskatchewan. As those waters evaporated, they left behind mineral deposits that are mined as potash today.

Potash is best known for its role in agriculture. As a potassium-rich mineral, it is used in fertilizer to support plant health, root strength, water use, and crop quality.

It also has other applications, including soaps, water softeners, de-icers, and industrial products.

At Neptune, potash is one of the two Canadian commodities handled through our terminal, moving through the supply chain from Saskatchewan mines to international markets.

During BC Mining Month, we are taking a closer look at how Canadian steelmaking coal moves through the supply chain, and Neptune’s role as a bulk terminal in that journey.

Steelmaking coal is distinct from thermal coal, which is used for power generation. It is used in the production of steel — a material found in buildings, bridges, hospitals, vehicles, railways, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and other infrastructure modern life depends on.

Before reaching international markets, the steelmaking coal handled at Neptune begins its journey at mines in B.C.’s Elk Valley and travels west by rail to our North Vancouver terminal.

This video shows one part of that journey: how railcars are unloaded at Neptune using our single car dumper and tandem dumper systems before the material continues through the terminal.

Every year, Neptune Terminals is proud to support the Windsor Secondary Drag Racing Club — a hands-on automotive program that gives North Shore students a real application of the skills they are learning in the auto program, both in the shop and on the track at Mission Raceway Park.

Led by automotive teacher Stephen Lonsbrough, the club runs from mid-April through the end of June, with a test-and-tune day in September. Students develop practical experience in vehicle maintenance, safety, and drag racing — building skills that extend well beyond the classroom.

The club has also opened the door for female students to take the wheel and compete, with graduates going on to pursue careers in heavy duty mechanics and other trades.

For Neptune, supporting programs like this is one way we invest in hands-on learning, technical skills, and future pathways for students in the community.
