Potential losses in traditional grounds may be covered by Husky Energy
Traditional hunting, fishing, and gathering grounds may have been affected by the July 20 Husky oil spill into the North Saskatchewan River.
Through an insurance claim process, First Nations who feel they can no longer trust the river’s water to provide for themselves may receive compensation, according to Husky Energy.
“If they have a loss that’s incurred as part of this, they should be reaching out to our insurance company,” Husky’s Mel Duvall said. “Any claim would have to be handled on a case-by-case basis.”
Husky has set up a toll free number and an information email in order to handle any claims related to the environment or personal loss.
