ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB ApRIL 18'19 5 Hardisty chosen as Gibson Energy’s operations centre Terri Huxley ECA Review The people of Hardisty and area can rest easy knowing their town will remain viable for years to come after Gibson’s Energy announced it will be positioning itself in the community. Four municipalities including Hardisty, Flagstaff County, Sedgewick, and the MD of Provost, have partnered together to lobby the company hard to keep jobs in the area. Their hard work combined with a feasibility study has paid off as the company announced on March 1 about its plans. “We’re ecstatic,” began Hardisty Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Sandy Otto, “because their employees are a huge catalyst in our communities. I mean they are the ones that lead our culture, our recreation activities. “They sit on our fire department plus their families support our community keeping our schools viable so if we were to all of the sudden lose 30 employees, that would be a significant hit to not just Hardisty but even the surrounding communities where these people live.” Hardisty will be home to the company’s control room and operations centre while Sedgewick will have a space for their backup operations, totalling $20 million. The decision to stay and expand has secured 30 existing jobs and simultaneously created 40 or more positions. The CAO views this as a huge win for not only Hardisty and Sedgewick but also rural Alberta in general. “To be known that we can actually carry on that commercial activity here, you know, hopefully that kick starts maybe some other companies into thinking that rural Alberta is a good place to be able to put your corporate location,” said Otto. Long term benefits are expected to stretch over the next 40 to 50 years as this facility solidifies itself even more in the community. “Administration and control rooms can always be moved but they are going to be investing that kind of capital I believe that that means they are here for the long term which helps us as a community for sure,” she said. The sanction of 500,000 barrels of new tankage at the Hardisty Terminal under a long-term agreement with an investment grade customer will take place as well as the closing of the divestitures of Wholesale Propane and noncore Environmental Services North, and continued execution on its infrastructure growth projects. “We continue to demonstrate very strong execution on our infrastructure growth projects, with three new tanks totaling 1.1 million barrels at our Hardisty Terminal as well as Kelli Rigden gives Lynn Choi (11) a bunny face at the Chateau Three Hills first-ever Eggstravaganza April 13. The full-morning public event, which engaged community members, staff and Chateau residents as volunteers, included an egg hunt with prizes, face painting, egg decorating stations and tables full of drinks and goodies. ECA Review/ D. Nadeau “ the Viking Pipeline entering service ahead of schedule and in-line with budgeted capital,” said Steve Spaulding, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gibson Energy Ltd. Long term benefits are expected to stretch over the next 40 to 50 years. “In addition, the remaining tanks currently under construction at our Hardisty Terminal are ahead of schedule and we have also sanctioned the construction of an additional tank, underpinned by a long-term agreement and consistent with our outlook of two to four tanks per year over the medium-term. In mid-February 2019, Gibson Energy successfully placed the first phase of development at the Top of the Hill portion of the Hardisty Terminal into service ahead of schedule with capital costs in-line with budget. With the three tanks from the first phase at the Top of the Hill adding an incremental 1.1 million barrels of storage, the Hardisty Terminal has reached an aggregate storage capacity of 10 million barrels. The company has also sanctioned an additional five tanks under longterm agreements, comprising an incremental 2.5 million barrels of storage, which are expected to enter service starting in late 2019 and through 2020. Construction of both the second and third phases at the Top of the Hill continue to progress, and are currently tracking ahead of schedule. Gibson is a Canadianbased oil infrastructure company with its principal businesses consisting of the storage, optimization, processing and gathering of crude oil and refined products. Headquartered in Calgary, the company’s operations are focused around its core terminal assets located at Hardisty and Edmonton and also include the Moose Jaw Facility and an infrastructure position in the U.S. “ PRAIRIE LAND SCHOOLS School renovations priority Submitted The Prairie Land Regional Division (PRLD) Board passed a motion to approve the 2018 to 2021 Three-year Capital Plan and concurrently the most pressing structural needs throughout the division within their facilities. The Morrin School rebuild is top priority as a result of the identified structural issues that presents itself. Altario School building envelope and mechanical upgrade has been recognized as the second priority as a result of stucco cracks and failing seals. The Youngstown School building envelope upgrade, and the J.C. Charyk Hanna School roofing replacement which originally was not included in the recent school modernization project has now been included. Altario School of Agriculture Principal Kevin VanLagen, Vice Principal Jamie Roworth and community member Jinel Ference presented on the Altario School of Agriculture. Altario School’s traditional identity is embedded in its rich culture, academic excellence, and spirited athletics. A cornerstone of the Altario School that is embedded in all things successful at Altario School is its agricultural community. Over the past months, Altario School has been systematically and purposefully incorporating a love for its local agriculture into the identity of the school. The goal is to encourage a wide variety of agricultural careers in graduating students, to create an appreciation for Altario’s historical success and to build a future for Altario School that symbolizes the importance of agriculture to Altario, Alberta, and Canada. The Board approved a motion for the request of $36,000 for the purchase of a barn that is a crucial resource and support of the School of Agriculture. International student program A committee of the Board consisting of Shauna Davies, Lindsay Bond and Marsha Tkach was created to investigate the recruitment of International students into PLRD. The Board passed a motion to approve $25,000 for the remainder of the 2018-2019 school year for the development of the program itself. Staff and Professional Admin Assistants recognition.
