Encana donates $62,000 to NEAT by Energetic City, August 24, 2012
After a day teaching the community about water, the Northern Environmental Action Team was presented with a cheque for $62,000 from Encana Corporation. The donation took place Saturday, August 18, at the “It’s NEAT Wave” event at Rotary Park in Dawson Creek, part of the partnership between NEAT and Encana. The day also included a free barbecue, courtesy of the City of Dawson Creek, with Encana Community Relations representative Brian Lieverse on hand to man the barbecue, along with Dawson Creek City Councillors Cheryl Shuman and Duncan Malkinson. The “It’s a NEAT Wave” event took residents through a look at how they can help improve the health of local waterways, including demonstrations on water contamination, green cleaners and water use. Encana’s funding will go towards NEAT’s various community projects in both Dawson Creek and Fort St. John.
