When Joseph Daniels, SaskEnergy’s Director of Indigenous Engagement, drove home after recently helping co-host two feasts and pipe ceremonies on back-to-back days, he was “smiling ear to ear!” “It was one of those weeks that I’ll never forget,” says Joseph. “Getting a chance to be out there fostering our relationships with the people of these communities, that’s the stuff that I really get a charge out of.” The first feast was held on September 28 and was co-hosted by the James Smith Cree Nation. This feast celebrated the completion of the Melfort East Expansion Project, which enhances...

The Swift Current Salvation Army Food Bank is a bit richer thanks to the generosity of SaskEnergy employees in Swift Current and Success. For the better part of a decade, these employees have collected food items to donate during the holiday season each year. This year, they gathered 207 pounds of groceries. General Manager Mike Rossiter delivered the donation to the food bank last week. “Our Customer Service and Operations staff have done a great job of supporting the Salvation Army over the years,” says Mike. “It’s a great cause and every year it seems there are more families in need.” Sue...

Through the attraction, retention and development of skilled employees, SaskEnergy strives to have a workforce that reflects the changing demographics of Saskatchewan.

The career fairs were hosted by various institutions and organizations, including the University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina and Saskatchewan Polytechnic. SaskEnergy also attended the Regina Open Door Society Career Fair and...

Several times a year, Remai Modern in Saskatoon fills with an audience curious to participate in an evening that stewards Indigenous engagement and honours Indigenous communities and groups with openness, transparency and dialogue.

Attending a sweat lodge for the first time can be a powerful experience. Just ask Kendra Lovas, an employee at SaskEnergy in Regina. “At first, it was hot and dark, my heart was beating fast, and I felt like my skin was burning,” says Kendra. “After the first break, I wasn’t sure if I would go back in, but I told myself that I needed to give it a chance, and I’m glad I did. It was a great experience.” SaskEnergy is committed to building meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities. One way we have done this is through hosting feasts and pipe ceremonies. This was the first time...

University of Regina student Jacob Tedla recently completed a summer work term at SaskEnergy — and it was hardly par for the course! A highlight of his term? Getting to take part in the Grand Entry of Piapot First Nation’s powwow in August! “Taking part in the Grand Entry made me feel special,” Jacob says. “It was kind of intimidating because I haven’t had a chance to experience the culture this way. The biggest takeaway I got was how welcoming and warm the community was.” While Jacob was part of our information technology team for the summer, the Business Administration student sought...

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. Brylee Jeffries’s eight-month term with our Enterprise Information Management (EIM) team is coming to a close and she’s leaving with skills and experiences that go far beyond her experience in EIM. “At first, I was nervous because everything was new,” Brylee says. “But over time, I learned to be comfortable asking questions and trusting myself to figure things out.” While Brylee’s primary role during...

For years, SaskEnergy's Prud’homme Compressor Station has been more than a hub for energy — it’s been a hidden sanctuary for nesting birds. “We've been managing nesting birds at the station for more than 10 years. There are several wetlands near the facility and the area provides excellent nesting habitat for migratory bird species,” says Ashley Syrgiannis, SaskEnergy's Manager of Environmental Assessment. “So, before our Prud’homme Expansion Project began, we approached our Operations team to see if they would be interested in some habitat enhancements.” As part of the Prud’homme Expansion...
