Union Gas is celebrating a huge milestone.
The Dawn Storage Facility near Sarnia was built 75 years ago, and represents the growth and innovation the company has seen since then.
Union Gas Spokesperson Andrea Stass says the facility has come a long way.
“It’s actually grown into one of the largest natural gas trading hubs in North America,” Stass says. “It’s a vital economic development engine for Ontario, it creates good local jobs, and also supplying families and businesses across the country with affordable energy.”
Stass says the location was chosen based on the large naturally-occurring depleted limestone reef underground, which is perfect for natural gas storage.
