Working together to keep the lights on and our energy facilities safe.

Energy facilities are vital to Canadians

Oil and gas facilities are found all across Canada and are vital to our energy infrastructure. The federal agencies responsible for keeping energy facilities safe - the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Natural Resources Canada and the National Energy Board - are working with the provinces and territories along with the oil and gas industry to prevent any disruption to the energy supply that keeps our homes, vehicles and businesses operating.

We need your help

As energy facility employees and neighbours, you are one of our best sources of information about suspicious activity near energy facilities in your community.
