    Several civil engineering updates recently, specifically of 2 culverts (20 & 21) the former of which is requiring a great deal of work. Plus construction of a flood mitigation channel between the 2. A lot of feet on the ground right now, and the...

    It is critical. We have a duty not only to our customers, but to our neighbours, too. Farms right along the line have crops in tinder dry fields right now. In one area, we have flax planted right next to the line. I am told that if that were to...
