It was BBQ time at Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) on Wednesday, June 14th, when Enbridge Gas arrived bringing lunch.
Company representatives were there to not only provide a free BBQ but also to meet members of the Band and to provide information on the merits of having gas installed in their homes.
“We are here to explain, not only the benefits of natural gas but also the differences between it and propane for instance,” said Don Armitage of Enbridge Sales Department. “Some users that we talked to didn’t realize that natural gas is actually safer and cleaner than other fuel sources.”
During the past few years, Enbridge has been expanding its service throughout Bruce County and recently expanded along the B-line to the doorstep of Saugeen First Nation.
In the course of its projects and operations, Enbridge regularly deals with more than 300 Indigenous Nations and groups in Canada and its Indigenous Peoples Policy governs the company’s interactions with Indigenous peoples.
According to the Enbridge website , the company “… moves about 30% of the crude oil produced in North America, transports nearly 20% of the natural gas consumed in the U.S., and operates North America’s third-largest natural gas utility by consumer count. Enbridge was also an early investor in renewable energy.”
