After extensive testing in the lab, TransCanada is teaming up with Enbridge and the Government of Alberta for a pilot project that will see both companies install a new fiber optic-based monitoring system on short sections of their oil transmission networks to see how the product, developed by a small hi-tech company in Alberta, performs in the field.

Every year, TransCanada employees and contractors participate in a month-long giving and volunteering campaign called Get Empowered. This year’s campaign, which wrapped up in September, raised almost $1 million in personal and company-matched donations.
