As cold weather returns to Saskatchewan, SaskEnergy is helping people stay warm — the Share the Warmth grant program is back.

Safety is a top priority at SaskEnergy. Whether you’re planting a tree or undertaking a major construction project, there are important steps to follow when working near underground utility lines, including our natural gas lines.

Starting a co-op term can feel exciting — and a little intimidating. At SaskEnergy, we make sure students feel supported from day one and give them real-world experience to help build confidence.

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. Elder Calvin and his team from Fox Valley Counselling led a pipe ceremony for the group alongside the South Saskatchewan River — an important area to Indigenous and Métis communities. 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...

At the end of January, on a cold and windy winter day, SaskEnergy kicked off this year’s Share the Warmth Days in Regina. The chilly weather made it the perfect time to offer warm drinks, essential winter items, and friendly smiles to people passing by. “Being able to offer a warm cup of coffee, along with essential items, while wishing someone a great day was incredibly powerful,” says Zahra Hosseinmardi, a SaskEnergy employee who volunteered at the Regina event. This is the second year of Share the Warmth Days, an initiative that highlights the important work of local organizations that...

With construction projects and backyard work still in full swing, contractors and do-it-yourself-ers are being reminded to be safe and Dig Like Doug! “Doug is a fun way to get a serious message out to the public. His catchphrase — ‘No line locate? No diggity.’ — is what we want people to think before they start any project involving ground disturbance,” says Jessica Singh with SaskEnergy’s Business Communications team. Led by SaskEnergy, in collaboration with SaskPower, SaskTel and Sask 1st Call, Dig Safe messages are a creative way to share important information about working safely around...
