This Project helps families benefit from up to $200 worth of home improvements including - preparing windows and doors for winter, replacing furnace filters, installing gaskets around light switches and plug ins, replacing standard light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights and installing programmable thermostats. Families can save on energy and water consumption and will notice a difference on their utility bills soon after the work is completed.

The Share the Warmth Home Energy Efficiency Project is offered to homeowners or renters who pay their own utility bills with a combined household income of no more than $45,000 a year.

Using our traveling natural gas bbq equipment SaskEnergy/TransGas employees help with approximately 125 BBQs throughout Saskatchewan. Summer Sizzle BBQs may be in support of a charity, sponsorship commitment, customer service or community initiative, as determined and selected by the local Share the Warmth Fund representatives or Corporate Affairs. Examples of good opportunities for a Summer Sizzle BBQ include:

• Community clean-up day

• Local rink fundraiser

• Community development project (e.g., TransCanada Trail building)

• United Way campaign kick-off

• Local youth group program fundraiser (e.g., 4H)

• Special school event (e.g., youth conference or provincial sports competition)

• Special Olympics event.

• Volunteer appreciation BBQ

For community events, Summer Sizzle BBQs must fit within the criteria normally applied to our sponsorship requests. We currently are equipped with five BBQs to handle opportunities throughout the province. The BBQ program would provide a large natural gas BBQ and technician to cook the food. As well, we would cover the costs of food (i.e. hotdogs, hamburgers, buns, condiments, and a drink) up to a maximum of $500.

SaskEnergy founded Hear the Children Peace Day in 1998 to mark the construction of a natural gas peace pole in Saskatoon’s Rotary Park. Since then literally thousands of children have gathered to celebrate and promote peace. We are grateful to the Canadian Red Cross Society for adopting the program in support of their global education and Respect Ed efforts, taking the event to a whole new level. In 2005, 100 peace poles were erected at schools across Saskatchewan and 100 works of children’s art were selected for permanent display in honour of the Centennial year. Today the Red Cross continues to hold Peace Day events in Regina and Moose Jaw and is now beginning a broader in-school program in Saskatoon.

What is a Regional Science Fair?

Saskatchewan children from grades 7 – 12 (and in some cases Grades 1 – 12) invent, test or produce scientific projects.

Science projects can be entered in six categories: Life Science, Biotechnology, Earth & Environment, Physical Science, Engineering and Computer Science.

SaskEnergy continues to be the Official Sponsor of the Saskatchewan Regional Science Fairs and completed the 17th year of involvement in 2008. Over the past number of years, more than $700,000 (plus countless employee volunteer hours) has been invested in this program.

Eleven regional science fairs are held throughout Saskatchewan - Southeast Saskatchewan, Qu’Appelle Valley, Prince Albert & NE Saskatchewan, Northwest Saskatchewan, Northern Saskatchewan, Carlton Trail, Saskatoon, Parkland, Expo-Sciences Fransaskoise, Swift Current and Regina. All of the students participating in the regional fairs do so with the hope of advancing to the Canada Wide Science Fair scheduled at locations across Canada in May of each year.

The SaskEnergy Catch for Kids program began in 1998 when SaskEnergy partnered with popular Roughrider receiver, Don Narcisse, to develop an initiative that would provide positive role models for youth and teach them the value of sport. SaskEnergy remains a strong supporter of KidSport™ Saskatchewan and once again teamed up with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and KidSport™ Saskatchewan to produce the 2008 Saskatchewan Roughriders Charity Calendar in support of Kerry’s Catch for KidSport™. A total of $111,220 was raised from the 2007/08 Rider Charity Calendar through calendars sales and sponsorship. This is the highest amount ever raised by the calendar, for which SaskEnergy has been the title sponsor since it began in 2006. The grand total raised for Kerry’s Catch for KidSport from the Rider Charity calendar and other KidSport initiatives in 2007 was $180,927, which will help over 1,900 kids participate in sport.

The Honourable Ken Cheveldayoff, Minister of Crown Corporations, presents a cheque to Ian Cook, KidSport Board Member, for the total raised from the Rider Charity Calendar.
