L’Ontario dévoile sa vision pour l’agrandissement de la raffinerie de Sarnia
Today, Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines and Bob Bailey, Member of Provincial Parliament for Sarnia-Lambton, announced as part of its plan to protect Ontario and build a stronger, more self-reliant economy, our government is advancing the Northern Shield Energy Corridor, a proposed 3,300-kilometre pipeline that would connect Alberta’s oil sands to Sarnia’s world-class refining and petrochemical complex, one of the country’s most important industrial hubs. Built with Ontario steel and by Ontario workers, this nation-building project would create good-paying jobs in Ontario while reinforcing Sarnia’s role as the eastern gateway of a modern, coast-to-coast Canadian energy network.
For more than a century, Sarnia has been the heart of Canada’s energy economy. Today, the region is home to one of North America’s largest refining and petrochemical clusters that transforms Canadian energy into the fuels that power homes, businesses, and industry across the country. The proposed Northern Shield Energy Corridor will protect thousands of existing manufacturing, refining and energy jobs across the Sarnia region, while creating thousands of new good-paying opportunities for Ontario workers during construction and long-term operations.
