What substance is added to natural gas to give it an odour? What does it smell like? Students got the answers to these questions and more as part of Cade Sprackman Safety Day events that took place in Tisdale and Melville during May. Members of SaskEnergy’s Operations team attended the events and had a station set up as part of an “Amazing Safety Quest.” The quest taught students about safety in a variety of industries in the province, so they are prepared before starting their careers. Operations Managers Elmer Hollinger and Trent Cousins attended the Safety Day event in Melville on May 29....

At SaskEnergy, safety is a shared responsibility — it’s shared by our employees and customers, and by the people of Saskatchewan, who live and work near our infrastructure. This shared responsibility helped inspire SaskEnergy’s First Nations safety signs project, which created new natural gas safety signs featuring Indigenous artwork to be used on First Nations across Saskatchewan. The project was recently honoured with the Canadian Gas Association’s (CGA) 2024 Community Safety Champion Award in recognition of excellence and leadership in fostering public awareness and education about the safe...

Students didn’t just learn about safety at the Cade Sprackman Safety Day in Regina — they experienced it firsthand. On May 27, more than 200 students from Campus Regina Public took part in a full day of hands-on activities designed to prepare them for real-life risks at work and in their communities. The event gave them practical skills and helped them understand how important it is to stay aware and make safe choices. “The students were really engaged and attentive,” says Lindsay Waite, an Operations Manager at SaskEnergy. “They were curious and wanted to learn how safety applies to real jobs...

When you turn up your thermostat or fire up your gas stove to cook supper, you might wonder about the energy source behind these simple tasks. SaskEnergy’s natural gas system spans across Saskatchewan. We serve about 411,000 customers through more than 72,000 kilometres of distribution gas lines. We work hard to maintain a system that’s more than 99.99 per cent reliable. That means you can count on us year-round, whether for heating your home during the coldest of winter days or heating your pool during those beautiful summer nights! At SaskEnergy, we invest about $100 million per year on...

We’ve teamed up with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) and Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK) to let you know about the crucial need for carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Why? Because having a working CO alarm in your home could save your life, and the lives of those you love. Last year, SaskEnergy responded to over 1,500 CO calls. With a CO alarm, you will have early warning protection against the dangers of the invisible, odourless gas that is often referred to as the "silent killer." 1. You need them (it’s the law) “CO alarms are not just a smart choice, but a...

Saskatchewan’s continued growth is creating new demand for reliable energy — and we are expanding our system to keep pace! In 2025, we broke ground on a series of complex system expansion projects east of Saskatoon. This included two new high-pressure gas lines and an expanded facility at our Prud’homme compressor station. The first phase — a 40-kilometre gas line from Patience Lake to Prud'homme — was completed last fall, and work on the second phase is now underway. As part of phase two, SaskEnergy will install a new meter station and an 80-kilometre gas line to support customer growth in...

SaskEnergy employees, like First Responders, play a key role in keeping the public safe. In fact, we often work side by side First Responders in cases of potential natural gas emergencies. That mutual support extends to how we train and prepare for emergencies as well. “Building relationships, exchanging knowledge and training together ensures we can work together to safely manage emergencies, whether it’s a fire where a natural gas source is present, or an unplanned gas release,” says Peter MacLachlan – General Manager, of our Saskatoon Area Operations. SaskEnergy offers natural gas emergency...
