EnCana Posts Half Million Dollar Reward in Bombing

By 250 News

Calgary, Alta-  EnCana Corporation is offering a cash reward of up to $500,000 for information directly leading to the arrest and prosecution of the individual or individuals responsible for the recent bombings at EnCana facilities in the Tomslake area near Dawson Creek, B.C., British Columbia. The reward, subject to some terms and conditions, is intended to encourage anyone with information to help the police solve these crimes, stop any further attacks and help ensure the safety of the communities in and around Dawson Creek.

“We take the bombings of our facilities very seriously. The safety of our workers and the people who live in the communities where we operate is of paramount importance. That’s why we are putting up this reward to help stop these bombings and end the threat that they pose to people in the Dawson Creek area,” said Mike Graham, EnCana’s Executive Vice-President & President, Canadian Foothills Division.

“Whoever is responsible for these bombings has to be stopped before someone gets hurt. We hope this reward will encourage anyone who has knowledge of those responsible for the bombings to come forward and help put an end to these dangerous attacks that threaten the well-being of our staff, those who work for us and the residents and communities in the Dawson Creek area,” Graham said.

Persons with information about these bombings who want to qualify for the reward are encouraged to contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in one of the following ways:

• Telephone to the RCMP toll-free at 1 866-994-7473
• Go online by visiting: www.dawsoncreekbombings.com
• Visit: www.encana.com and click on the RCMP icon which is a link to the RCMP website
• Visit your local detachment of the RCMP

The RCMP are investigating four bombings that occurred during the past three months, two at pipelines, one at a well head and the most recent one discovered on January 4, 2009 at a metering shed on an EnCana well site south of Dawson Creek.

“It is fortunate that no one has been seriously hurt during the bombings but if they continue, there is a serious risk of injuries or death,” Graham said. “We would never want to see that happen. We appeal to anyone with information to share the details with police – for the safety of our communities.”
