Our Emergency Management team recently took part in a large-scale emergency simulation on the Minell natural gas pipeline near St. Lazare, Manitoba. The exercise began with a simulated pressure loss, followed by a dramatic scenario involving a gas leak, fire, and vehicle collision.

Field crews, emergency responders, and support staff quickly mobilized, testing their coordination, communication, and response under pressure. Behind the scenes, unexpected challenges were added to keep the situation realistic.

The Minell Pipeline is critical infrastructure serving communities across the Parkland region, making these exercises essential. Based on real past incidents, the training helps ensure teams are ready for worst-case scenarios, should they occur.
