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...

A quarter century ago, our construction crews were a main attraction for children spending their summers at Kenosee Provincial Park. SaskEnergy employees worked for several summers to extend gas service to cabins in the area in the late 1990s. “Some kids, you couldn’t get rid of them. They’re pointing and looking; the parents want to go, but the kids want to stay and see us work,” says Dale Staudt, a Crew Lead with our southern Saskatchewan Construction team. “We would stop and explain what we were doing and show them. We’d stand back with the parent and watch one of our guys dig. For a small...

Each year, WorkSafe Saskatchewan recognizes individuals and organizations for the Safe Worker and Safe Employer Awards who are nominated by their workplace peers and colleagues. In 2025, the Safe Worker Award went to one of SaskEnergy’s own, Customer Service Representative Sandee Jordon of Regina. Sandee was on hand for the announcement at the awards ceremony at the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) annual Compensation Institute in Saskatoon on May 21. “When my name was called, I completely froze,” says Sandee. “There are only a few moments in life where you feel such overwhelming...

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...

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...
