When Dan Maguire found an opportunity to work as an engineer in TransCanada’s Environmental Services division in the Pacific Northwest, he jumped at the chance.

Coastal GasLink President David Pfeiffer and his family were among the members of the Coastal GasLink Climbers who scaled the notoriously steep Prince George Cutbanks on April 27, raising more than $7,300 in support of the fourth-annual Climb for Cancer.

Tiara Goodswimmer graduated from Women Building Futures’ (WBF) Journeywoman Start program at arguably one of the worst times possible this year – in March, just after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared – but bad timing hasn’t stopped her. Although her graduation and job interviews were cancelled due to social distancing, she still quickly found work on a construction site. Tiara is now looking forward to starting a new job at the end of June as an electrical labourer in Fort Saskatchewan, AB, with plans to go back to school to become a journeywoman electrician.

Experience and training can be the difference between life and death. For members of the Burns Lake Fire Department, a new training facility allows firefighters to train in forcible entry, blackout search, working in confined spaces, self-rescue, live fire training and other basic training skills. TransCanada and its Coastal GasLink project, were among the first organizations to invest in the facility, which allowed the society to solicit for the remaining funds and make this initiative a reality. Investments in first responders is part of TransCanada’s Build Strong program, which invested more than $17 million in more than 1,500 non-profit organizations and community enhancement projects across North America in 2017.
