Our First Nations Furnace Replacement Rebate program is just one of many ways SaskEnergy is helping our customers. This was one of several programs we introduced in 2023-24, which are highlighted in our annual report. Yellow Quill First Nation in east-central Saskatchewan is benefiting from this rebate program. New high-efficiency natural gas furnaces are being installed at more than 40 homes. This is helping residents reduce emissions and costs. “For years, the issue of furnaces needing replacement has been a concern for our community. This SaskEnergy rebate really helped,” says Darrell...

SaskEnergy offers a wide range of careers, including many in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). To encourage Indigenous students to consider careers in STEM, SaskEnergy employees are presenting lunch and learn sessions in First Nation schools across the province. “The goal of the program is to have young people get excited and engaged with STEM careers,” says Joseph Daniels, SaskEnergy’s Director of Indigenous Engagement.

First Nations artists Tim Neal and Jade Roberts have shared their talent and expertise with SaskEnergy through two recent projects. Their artwork will appear across Saskatchewan on SaskEnergy billboards, advertisements, social media and at events. We are proud to showcase their work while we connect with Indigenous communities. Tim’s designs include a new version of SaskEnergy’s logo and other images. These show scenes from nature aligned with the sacred elements — fire, water, earth and air. “Having an actual designer or the artwork being done by First Nations provides a ton of cultural...

For weeks, Ross Carolan and his family felt sick but didn’t know why. Ross, his wife and their two young children were all feeling lethargic and coughing. Even their cat was irritable instead of her usual friendly self. This was in fall 2022. In what seemed like an unrelated issue at the time, the humidifier on Ross’s furnace had been leaking water, so he contacted a plumbing and heating company. This call may have saved their lives. The furnace technician used a Gas Measurement Instrument and found the furnace room contained 385 parts per million (ppm) of carbon monoxide (CO) — a life...

At the end of July, 12 co-op and summer students from SaskEnergy spent two days volunteering at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Regina. For Samarth Soni, a co-op student in our Enterprise Networks team, it was his first time volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. He said the experience was more than just helping out for a few hours. “It quickly became something much more meaningful,” Samarth said. “It was eye-opening to see how even small tasks can make a big difference when people work together.” The students came together from different departments throughout the company to help sort...

After building a career in the oil and gas industry, Brett Katzberg jumped at the chance to join the Construction team at SaskEnergy two years ago as a Pipeline Welder. “I actually had done a lot of contract work for the company previously and always wanted to get on with SaskEnergy full-time,” says Brett, who’s been welding for 16 years. “To me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a long-term career that offers stability and professional growth. And, for someone with a young family, the work-life balance here is a huge draw.” For fellow Pipeline Welder James Daniels, family played a significant role...

Jim and Linda Dickenson decorate their heritage home to draw people from across Regina to be spooked there on Halloween night. But they were the ones to get a serious scare at home one summer evening. A colourless, odourless, and tasteless poison was drifting up from their basement and lingering near their second-floor bedroom, one that, over time, could send them to hospital — or even worse. Jim’s phone rang, surprising them while they watched a loud action movie. They were up on the third floor of their home that warm, dark evening. Their security company was calling. A presence had been...
