UPDATE: City says relationship with Husky Energy has “turned a page”
After several tense days, administrators from the city of Prince Albert said their relationship with Husky Energy, who are responsible for the oil spill which forced the city to declare a state of emergency, has improved.
City manager Jim Toye said today was “a real turning of the page for us with Husky and our relationship,” during a press conference at City Hall today, July 28.
Toye cited Husky sending representatives and insurance officials to survey the city as the reason for the improved rapport between the two.
“It’s great to have somebody on site. Late yesterday we were on a conference call with the president of Husky…and the number one water specialist in the world who will be in the city to assist us. We’re very pleased to see their participation,” Toye said.
