Every day, the Regina Food Bank helps about 500 families — and that number keeps growing. During the holiday season, the need is even greater, making extra help from volunteers essential. Recently, two groups of SaskEnergy employees spent time at the Food Bank, sorting and organizing food donations. For them, it was a chance to give back to the community and strengthen team connections. “The biggest takeaway for me was knowing that our efforts are directly helping those in our community. It felt good knowing that our small act of kindness was making a big difference to those in need,” says...

At SaskEnergy, we want to be good stewards of the environment. We also want to maintain positive relationships with our stakeholders. Our reclamation inspection program allows us to do both!

We want to make sure every landowner is happy with SaskEnergy’s service and performance,” says Ashley Syrgiannis of SaskEnergy’s Environment & Sustainability team. Reclamation means carefully replacing the soil and...

A line locate involves the use of flags, stakes or paint to mark the location of buried utility lines. Line locates are available free of charge to help you plan safe digging activities.
