As COVID-19 grinds the world to a standstill, the majority of our workforce is adjusting to working from home, and acclimating to our new but temporary reality can prove to be difficult at the best of times. With an added twist, many schools and childcare facilities across North America have shut down in an effort to flatten the curve and reduce the spread of the virus – leaving many of our team members balancing childcare and day-to-day work tasks.

On May 31, 1940, more than a year before the U.S. entered World War II, Manufacturers Light and Heat Company purchased nine acres of land along Connoquenessing Creek in Ellwood City, Pa., around 40 miles north of its Pittsburgh headquarters.  The plan was to build a 1,000-hp compressor station to support the expansion of two nearby natural gas pipelines. Market demand in the region was growing fast, and the company needed to keep up. As it turned out, the project couldn’t have come at a better time: By the end of 1945, the station’s horsepower had doubled, and a post-war economic boom was on the horizon.

Cybersecurity manager Yang Zhang shares how she maintains close ties with her family and Chinese heritage, despite geographical distance.

Located entirely within the Municipal District of Bonnyville, this pipeline is south of the City of Cold Lake, Alberta, and is connected to the NGTL System. The existing Cold Lake Border Sales metering facility was replaced with a new metering facility to accommodate the additional gas volumes.
