Thank you to our employees, families and friends who worked hard decorating our vehicles, driving and walking along the parade route. The Tuccaro Group wishes everyone a safe and Happy Holiday Season.
WPS is excited to sponsor and help bring a high quality basketball program to Fort McMurray.

Congratulations to the Keyano Huskies Men’s Soccer Team – including Tuc’s very own Gunner Kavindjima – on winning their 3rd consecutive ACAC Championship this past October and for their 4th place finish at the CCAA Men’s Soccer National Championship this past weekend.

This past Thursday our senior management attended Syncrude Canada’s annual Aboriginal Community Luncheon, honouring the Aboriginal men and women for their important wartime contributions. The First Nations, Métis and Inuit people have a long and proud tradition of military service to our country and it is estimated that more than 12, 000 Indigenous members served in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.
The Tuccaro Group of Companies recognizes and appreciates the selfless sacrifices made by these brave individuals who have given to their community, their nation and future generations.
Aboriginal Veterans Day is commemorated on November 8.
On July 28th WPS held its first Charity Invitational Golf Tournament. Over 70 friends and business partners of WPS had a great afternoon of golf and an evening of fun in support of Wood Buffalo KidSport, an organization dedicated to helping kids play sports in the Wood Buffalo Region. WPS was able to donate almost $9000 to help the youth of our community stay strong and ensure that kids are able to play sports.
Wildfires and evacuation are now something that we are familiar with in Fort McMurray. We all know how generous our neighbours were to us last year. WPS was happy to begin to pay back that generosity with a care package sent out to BC in the convoys that left Fort McMurray last week.
On Friday June 2nd TPS hosted a BBQ for the Tuccaro Group. Donations were collected to help the search for the 2 missing hunters in Fort Chipewyan.
