TransCanada has a long-standing commitment to protecting the environment where we work and live. We believe that when we build an asset, we temporarily borrow the land. Over the course of our more than 65-year history, TransCanada has successfully reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres of land throughout North America.
Early in our history, an entity of what would eventually become TransCanada, created significant impacts on Canada’s pipeline construction practices. In the early 1970s, the Alberta Gas Trunk Line Company utilized practices such as conservation of topsoil and immediate reseeding of disturbances, which were considered to be progressive and effective measures in right-of-way restoration.
