Husky Energy was fined $3.8 million on Wednesday, June 12, 2019, for a pipeline oil leak that fouled a major river, harmed fish and wildlife and tainted the drinking water supply for thousands of people in Saskatchewan.

"We're not in a rush because we want things done right," said Colten Boushie's cousin, Jade Tootoosis, shortly after meeting with Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett.

Saskatchewan is proposing tougher rules for pipelines following an oil spill into the North Saskatchewan River that jeopardized the drinking water of thousands of people.

Husky Energy says ground movement is the reason a section of its pipeline burst in late July, leaking more than 220,000 litres of crude oil into the North Saskatchewan River.

The controversial Canadian energy company has profited in the wake of a massive oil spill in the North Saskatchewan River.

Cleanup of an oil spill along the North Saskatchewan River will be put on hold as water levels are expected to rise by up to two metres in the coming days, a government official said.

A controversial U.S. consulting firm assigned to complete water quality tests. A First Nation whose waters are covered in oil. Husky has dismissed all of it.

The early results are in and they confirm a catastrophic oil spill from a Husky Energy pipeline has contaminated the North Saskatchewan River to a point where it could endanger human health.

The Husky oil spill in Saskatchewan may be well over 1,000 kilometres away, but for B.C. residents concerned about the Kinder Morgan expansion project, the disaster still hits close to home.

The reality of the disastrous Husky oil spill in central Saskatchewan on July 20 is starting to sink in. Literally.

Prince Albert has been taking water from storm retention ponds, which were topped up Thursday by a rain storm.

It appears Husky Energy knew something was amiss with one of its oil pipelines about 14 hours before the Saskatchewan government was notified.

Residents of the small western city of North Battleford, Saskatchewan are being asked to cut water consumption as Husky Energy races to clean up as much as 250,000 litres of oil spilled nearby.
