Emergency assistance to keep the health and safety of workers.

Trans Mountain is available to assist in wildfire management in BC.

We have offered the use of our camp communities in Merritt and Clearwater for evacuees and are currently housing evacuees and firefighters working in the area in our Merritt facility. In Kamloops, work was stood down in Kenna Cartwright Park and Pineview Park areas as requested by the City of Kamloops, with team members helping to mitigate fire risk by wetting and cutting grass in areas under active construction for the Expansion Project. Trans Mountain also supported the Robson Valley Fire Service response efforts with a skidder and water tank after a fire ignited in the North Thompson region.
