Belinda Adams moved to Labrador City at the age of 3 and has been there ever since. She has worked 32 years with the Iron Ore Company of Canada in various roles; through those years she experienced multiple layoffs and remained a student where she studied Psychology and Social Work before returning to full-time work in the mine.

She was actively involved with the union for almost half her career and then moved into some leadership roles the rest of her career. She held the positions of Supervisor, HSE Superintendent, Contractor Management Superintendent and her last role being Superintendent of Pellet Plant Operations. She held positions on the JOSHE committee and served as Team Manager and Vice President for Labrador West Minor Hockey.

Belinda’s biggest accomplishment is being a proud mother of two boys, Matthew and Nathan Grouchy who live and work in Labrador City. Her mother Loretta Adams is retired and living in Labrador City, and she has a sister Keila Adams and a niece and nephew living here as well.

Labrador City is her family’s home and it’s allowed and afforded her the opportunity to raise her boys in a beautiful and safe community, provide her family a good living and so many opportunities to be part of a community they love. She is very grateful for what she has and thankful for the residents and leaders who stepped up and helped make that happen, so it’s time, she says, to show her appreciation and pay back to the community.
