Saskatchewan Lignite Coal Breakthrough Promises Canada Wide Shift
New combustion methods for Saskatchewan lignite at Winnipeg Heating Company Plant claim lower costs than US steam coal and aim to expand eastern production.

Toronto and Ontario may divert from US fuels via Saskatchewan lignites and James Bay lignite fields. FR L Sutherland, lignite expert, led the 10 year effort validating the approach. Government officials confirm continued subvention for Canadian coal pending policy.
