Pour la fete de SLC Mississauga en 2004
Challenge lancee par Barb, "We did it" retrace une longue epopee de l'usine. Avec une fois n'est pas coutume un vrai refrain que tout le monde peut reprendre en choeur. La chanson en performance live au dome d'Oakville a d'abord suscite la curiosite puis l'explosion generale de la salle. Anecdote : que penser de cette ironie qui voyait toute la salle crier des Heunekorr dont Monmix n'a pas compris le sens. En effet, Monmix le francais, n'a pas compris le seul mot francais que la salle tentait de prononcer.....ENCORE!
Ah, ils peuvent se moquer de l'accent francais de Monmix.........
Time passes so quickly, it blows like the breeze We take it for granted, we accept it with ease
It’s been over a year, since our family last danced We are here tonight , one more year, one more chance
What can I say, so much has been done So many achievements, awards that were won
Many successes, few things that went wrong Let’s begin with no speeches , but simply this song
All songs need a chorus, this song has the same About SLC, our own claim to fame
It praises our people, you’ll understand why Be proud, sing loud, raise your voice to the sky
We did it, we’re proud, we made the mark
We made 365, hit the ball out of the park
We won awards, solved the plume from the stack
Record production, there’s no turning back
Here we are, we’ve been put to the test
We’ve proven hands down, that we are the best
Valentine’s day, 2004 We made 365, never done that before
We did it, we’re proud, it’s out time to gloat We kept our promises with a nice leather coat
The days on the board, the numbers keep rising We think "safety first" so it’s no surprising
Every day is a gift, we don’t work alone Make sure you work safely to safely go home
Plant meetings were held in March and November So much information, so much to remember
We pay it forward and we all believe that nothing is impossible to achieve
Chorus
The quarry was busy moving limestone for us Every 30hours feeding the James Norris
Their Open house was as bright as a star An excellent exemple of our CSR
August 14th, blackout history No lights, just darkness, the cause was mistery
It lasted for days, no end was in sight The tunnel was dark, the end had no light
We all joined together, we worked as agroup Every department together was kept in the loop
Our plant was silent, the equipment lay still Solutions were found with hardwork and strong will
Chorus
ISO was maintained, production was high 100000bags, no plume in the sky
We celebrated the PCA prize For environment, number 1 in their eyes
We had a barbecue and a big party with the community, even the Ministry
And to keep those memories for the future, we put all of us on a big picture
The peregrine falcons Eva and Nate gave birth to Lawrie, improving their fate
Even the new Idfan duct that we put, was not enough to make them change their route
Chorus
It’s been a great year, with so much to do, we couldn’t have done it without people like you
The people who work here or did in the past, your efforts and talents make SLC last
SLC people from present and past are gathered tonight, it won’t be our last
We’ll continue to seed for a brighter future, and make us every step stronger and stronger
With all challenges, we’ve been put to the test, We’ve come out on top proving we’re the best
You’ve all made a difference, you all should be proud, so let’s all sing now, and sing it out loud.
Chorus
