While there is currently no safety risk or impact to production facilities, MEG has, as a precautionary measure, coordinated transportation out of the immediate area for non-essential staff and contractors.
Jamey Fitzgibbon, Senior Vice President responsible for MEG's Christina Lake operations said: "Safety is absolutely paramount. As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily suspended operations, including our planned maintenance turnaround. As soon as we have safety clearance regarding fire hazards, we will resume normal operations."
