Encana frac’s a community’s drinking water supply, publicly promises $150,000 after water wells start to go bad, years later donates the money to Rosebud School of the Arts Theatre, successfully silences the community

Darci-Jane MacAuley of Encana: “This is not the end of our partnership. We love to partner with Rosebud Theatre and with this community. They help us with our development. We have learned a lot over the last three years on how we integrate what we are doing with natural gas with a cultural community like Rosebud, and we work well together,” she said.
