  • Plains Midstream Canada held open houses for residents of the Gleniffer Lake Resort and the Carefree Resort on Saturday, June 16th. There were no media present at these open houses, as they were deemed private.   [ Article ]

FYI:

  • The majority of the Rangeland Pipeline System is approximately 50 years old.   [ Link ]
  • According to Google Maps, Jackson Creek is approximately 50 km from the Gleniffer Reservoir — where the booms have been set up to contain the oil spill. That means, the oil spill has travelled 50 km along the Red Deer River.   [ Map ]
