We’ve all seen the memes – from the quarantine 15 to a picture of a broken scale – we know that maintaining routine and sticking to a healthy diet is more of a challenge than ever before. Whether you’re making a few extra trips to the pantry, eating more to cope with stress or trying to support local restaurants, making the healthy choice isn’t necessarily the easiest one.

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. More than half the funds raised were matched through Empower, TransCanada’s giving and volunteering program which supports and encourages employees and contractors to give back to their communities.

Long before construction began, the Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project made collaboration and community feedback a priority. That feedback has helped improve the overall design of the project, and drove the development of the programs put in place during construction and operation to protect Indigenous culture and values along with the environment, including the Construction Monitoring and Community Liaison Program (CMCL).

As restaurants, stores and businesses begin to reopen, our commitment to safety and the well-being of our employees is stronger than ever. Throughout the pandemic, teams across our company have been upholding our number one value of safety, to ensure the continued safe and reliable operations of our assets and ongoing construction work. Some of these committed individuals have had to remain physically at work every day with some even volunteering to self-isolate away from their families and communities.

TransCanada has earned global recognition for our efforts to create a gender equal work environment.
