Hardisty Community Complex Group hosts annual Open House The Hardisty Community Complex Group held an open house at the Hardisty Community Hall on Wednesday, April 16, where the complex’ companies handed out lots of promotional items to visitors while answering any questions they might have about the operations at the tank farm.

The Hardisty Community Complex Group held an open house at the Hardisty Community Hall on Wednesday, April 16. All the companies involved with the complex group participate, including Enbridge Pipelines, Flint Hills Resources, Gibson Energy, InterPipeline, Cenovus Energy, Plains Midstream, Southbow, and the Hardisty Mutual Aid Group. While the tank farm, as it is often called, is mostly located within the MD of Provost, the Town of Hardisty has always had a very close relationship with the complex’s companies, and the complex group. All members of the public were invited to attend and learn more about the operations of each of the compa-
nies who are represented at the complex. The Hardisty terminal has been in place for more than 70 years, and is a key piece of energy infrastructure not only in Alberta, or Canada, but in all of North America, as it serves as one of the major oil hubs, with millions of barrels of storage, and a large pipeline and rail capacity for crude oil. Many who work at the companies at the complex also call Hardisty home. It’s also true that the Hardisty community has benefited from having the complex companies so close, with hundreds of thousands of dollars donated in support of the community over the years through many of the complex companys’ charitable arms. The annual open house is an op-
portunity, too, for residents to receive a plethora of promotional items from each company, and often more than one. From pens to beach towels, hats to
puzzles, go-cups to barbecue forks, and so much more, most visitors left with a little more information about the complex, and a bag full of goodies, as well.
