Saskatchewan Helium Push Could Spark Large Investment
Six years after Medicine Hat's energy drive into helium, Saskatchewan eyes a liquefaction hub to export gas. Province backs facilities near Swift Current or multiple sites, with $30 million in subsidies since 2021 and shipments currently sent to Colorado for processing. City officials say exploration has paused but may restart investments as transport and processing methods are chosen for the resource. Brad Maynes notes the liquefaction plan remains alive as a regional ambition.
