What started as a simple idea has quickly grown into a program making a real difference for students across Saskatchewan. After its first year, SaskEnergy’s STEM Lunch and Learn program has reached hundreds of Indigenous students, built strong relationships with communities and planted the seeds about future careers in science, technology, engineering and math. “We didn’t know exactly how it would be received when we started,” says Dana Kostyk, one of the employees who helped create the program. “But seeing how engaged the students were made it clear this program filled a real need.” The STEM...

Each year, WorkSafe Saskatchewan recognizes individuals and organizations for the Safe Worker and Safe Employer Awards who are nominated by their workplace peers and colleagues. In 2025, the Safe Worker Award went to one of SaskEnergy’s own, Customer Service Representative Sandee Jordon of Regina. Sandee was on hand for the announcement at the awards ceremony at the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) annual Compensation Institute in Saskatoon on May 21. “When my name was called, I completely froze,” says Sandee. “There are only a few moments in life where you feel such overwhelming...

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...

Every day, the Saskatoon Friendship Inn welcomes people who need a hot meal, a safe place to go and a sense of community. As more people turn to the organization for help, volunteers play an important role in supporting its work. Recently, six SaskEnergy employees spent an afternoon volunteering at the Friendship Inn. They helped with the busy lunch service and donated food and personal care items. The Friendship Inn serves hot, nutritious meals every day of the year, providing up to 2,000 meals daily. During busy meal times, volunteers help prepare and serve food, clean tables and keep the...

There is a lot of good that sharing a little warmth can do. In honour of the 30th anniversary of SaskEnergy’s Share the Warmth program, we launched Share the Warmth Days. The initiative — which ran until February 13 — featured a series of events across the province aimed at highlighting community-based organizations who bring warmth, including shelter, food, clothing and mental health services, to those who need it most. For Share the Warmth Days event, SaskEnergy volunteers partnered with a local organization that was one of this year’s Share the Warmth grant recipients to hand out bags of...

Sometimes your work speaks for itself. That was certainly the case for two of SaskEnergy’s Construction team members. Both Nick Stone and Lucas Sabit found themselves applying for positions as Equipment Operators after working alongside SaskEnergy crews in their previous jobs. “I was working for a company doing horizontal directional drilling, and we frequently did jobs for SaskEnergy. The company was great to do work for — organized, efficient, professional — I really enjoyed doing the jobs for SaskEnergy,” says Nick. “When I saw the SaskEnergy job postings online I knew I’d be crazy not to...

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...

Spring has arrived and many people across Saskatchewan are getting ready to start yard and landscaping projects. Whether you’re building a fence, planting trees, or adding a deck, it’s important to take one key step before you dig: request a line locate. In 2025, landscaping projects were among the leading causes of underground line hits for homeowners and landowners. Incidents most often involved larger equipment, such as excavators and backhoes, but hand tools also caused damage. “Any project that disturbs the ground requires a line locate,” says Sheena Nabozniak, SaskEnergy’s Manager of...

In many Indigenous cultures a pipe ceremony symbolizes unity, peace and a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. Since early 2022, these ceremonies have become commonplace during SaskEnergy gas line construction projects. “A pipe ceremony is really about connection and prayer. For example, at SaskEnergy when we have these ceremonies as part of our construction projects, we’re asking for the safety of our personnel, we’re asking for a successful project and we’re also asking for forgiveness for disturbing the land, for disturbing Mother Earth,” explains Joseph Daniels, Director...
