Sheldon Flostrand's first mining job was in 1994 at Barrick Gold's Eskay Creek mine in northern British Columbia. Sheldon spent two years at Eskay Creek, operating one of the loaders used to move materials around and off the mine site. But, not content to do this long term, Sheldon applied for, and was awarded, the electrical apprenticeship at Eskay Creek in 1996. He got his certificate in 2000, after a four year apprenticeship.
