On a sunny day in June, a team of SaskEnergy employees met with an Indigenous Elder, consultants, and the Mayor of St. Louis, Saskatchewan. They wanted to begin a pipeline replacement project, occurring within village limits, with care and respect.

The ceremony took place near the buffalo monument in St. Louis, which holds deep cultural meaning. “We’re learning to recognize the importance of the land through...

It’s important to SaskEnergy that when a volunteer fire department responds to an emergency that involves natural gas, they feel prepared and confident in keeping the situation safe.

The latest round of training came at this spring’s SVFFA fire school in Melville, where firefighters were provided with information on how to respond to a natural gas-related emergency. Attending the fire school to provide the training were SaskEnergy...

Raising a tipi is about more than building a shelter. This was one of many lessons learned by teams in the Glen Anaquod Tipi Raising Competition. Four teams from SaskEnergy joined others from the community at the University of Regina in late September to take part in the annual event.

But the day is about participating in Indigenous culture, team building and most important, having fun,” says Sharla Sparvier...

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...

A beautiful late summer day in the Qu’Appelle Valley set the stage for a powerful and heartwarming experience as 25 SaskEnergy employees, families and friends attended the Treaty Four Powwow in Fort Qu-Appelle on Saturday, September 20. For many, it was their first time attending a powwow and what they found was a space filled with warmth, pride, and community. “What stood out the most to me was how open and welcoming the space felt, not just in a physical sense, but emotionally and spiritually,” says Bonnie Favreau, one of the employees that attended. “Being there helped me realize that it...
