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.

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...

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a little of both?! It’s actually a drone equipped with a camera, and it has been providing SaskEnergy with several benefits over the last two summers. “Using a drone gives a bird’s eye view of our construction and reclamation work,” says Ashley Syrgiannis of our Environment & Sustainability team. “They are efficient from a time and cost perspective, and they allow us to make more informed environmental decisions.” Prior to a construction project, Ashley and her team use a drone to assist in environmental field surveys. “A drone can help get into areas that are...

For several years running, SaskEnergy employees have volunteered their time to support annual community cleanups in Regina and Yorkton.

More than 20 employees and their family members assisted in filling nine oversized garbage bins with difficult-to-dispose items. These included tires, scrap metal, mattresses, furniture, appliances and yard debris. Meanwhile, the NCCA enlisted a group of young people to...

As the weather turns cold, our customers rely on natural gas to heat their homes and businesses. SaskEnergy plans year-round to provide Saskatchewan residents with the energy they need. One of the ways we meet the demand for energy is with storage caverns. Storage caverns are large underground cavities where we can safely store natural gas. A storage cavern has an average size of about 40 to 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools and are about one kilometre below the ground. “A storage cavern is the greatest thing for the storage of energy,” says Derek Leach, Director of SaskEnergy’s System Control...
