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.

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...

Students didn’t just learn about safety at the Cade Sprackman Safety Day in Regina — they experienced it firsthand. On May 27, more than 200 students from Campus Regina Public took part in a full day of hands-on activities designed to prepare them for real-life risks at work and in their communities.

Tail wags, head scratches and a warm welcome from a few four-legged friends. That special greeting was waiting for a group of SaskEnergy Co-op and Summer Students who took part in a volunteer opportunity at the Regina Humane Society in July. The seven Co-op and Summer Students spent the day doing hands-on work to help the community organization and the animals it cares for. "The experience reflects SaskEnergy's commitment to encouraging employees to give back to their community — including its four-legged members," says Kya Ladouceur, a Co-op Student in Community Engagement who helped organize...

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...
