Enbridge contributed $10,000 toward a 1.25 km extension of an existing 8 km walking path for the Town of Balgonie, Saskatchewan, near Regina. When complete, the trail will connect the east and west sides of town. From left, Les Scott (Enbridge Community Relations), Darren Kiel  and Kelvin Solie (councilors), Shaun McBain (Superintendent) and Eldon Strachan (Manager, Area Operations, Regina) with Enbridge.

Enbridge donated $17,500 to the community of Windthorst, Saskatchewan. Of that total, $10,000 will be directed towards the replacement of non-slip matting in the community arena, while $7,500 will be directed to the community hall for facility upgrades.

This pumping unit for the Kronau and District Emergency Response volunteers was made possible by a previous $10,000 Enbridge Safe Community grant.
