Cutting Emissions and Keeping Industry Competitive

Strathcona’s post combustion carbon capture pilot located near Cold Lake, Alberta was selected by Emissions Reduction Alberta to receive funding from their recent Industrial Transformation Challenge – one of just 14 initiatives to be chosen! We are excited about the promising decarbonization solution this support is helping to enable, which has industrial applications beyond oil and gas. Watch the funding announcement here featuring remarks from Strathcona’s President & CEO, Rob Morgan.

Indigenous People’s Day Event Recap

Earlier this week the James Gang Drummers of Aseniwuche Winewak Nation honoured the Strathcona team with a singing, drumming and storytelling performance to celebrate Indigenous People Day. They travelled from Grand Cache to Calgary through snow, rain and floods to create this incredible experience for us. We are very grateful for their willingness to share their history and culture with our team in such a deeply meaningful way. A heartfelt thank you to James Gang Drummers for joining us and also to Devonian Garden for hosting this special event.

Saskatchewan Premier Tours Strathcona Facilities

Earlier this week, Strathcona had the opportunity to tour Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Kindersley MLA Ken Francis through our newly acquired Saskatchewan thermal and rail assets located near Meota. These assets produce nearly 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day using a steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology which originated in the province of Saskatchewan. Hear more about the Premier’s visit in this clip from CTV Saskatoon.

Strathcona Resources Brings Holiday Comfort to Grande Prairie Pediatric Patients

Strathcona’s generous team of employees and vendors at our Kakwa location set out to raise $5,000 to help bolster the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital’s dwindling teddy bear supply – and they raised $84,000 instead!

A heartfelt thanks to all who participated. This contribution will help bring comfort to sick kids throughout the holiday season and year-round. Because the $5,000 goal was surpassed so substantially, additional funds will be used to support some of the hospital’s other pediatric needs.
