Statement from SRDL Business Group

Our entire Organization is deeply saddened by the sudden death of Kristian Ayoungman. As an employee of Siksika Resource Developments Ltd. (SRDL Business Group), Kristian worked alongside many employees in various projects within our organization including Niitsitapi-Graham LP. (NGLP) and Blackfoot Construction Contracting (BCC) on Siksika Nation.


Kristian started work with SRDL on May 6, 2018, and was placed with BCC at the North Pit and elsewhere as a Jr. Grader/Bobcat Operator. A grader operator position is a substantial responsibility, which Kristian undertook with a confidence and ability normally associated with adults who are older and more experienced. He continued with BCC until June 1, 2018, when another opportunity arose. He was rehired on December 2, 2018, and placed again with BCC on December 3, 2018 where he continued working until events of last weekend.


Most recently Kristian was employed as a Senior Operator for BCC and operated many machines including the Grader, Front End Loader, Backhoe and Skid Steer. Kristian provided training to Junior Operators on the BCC heavy equipment, and also provided his professional opinions and recommendations on various BCC projects. He was a hard-working, confident, full-time employee of NGLP/BCC, with a tremendous future.


The entire SRDL Business Group sends our thoughts, prayers, and support to Kristian’s family during this difficult time.
