“Spectra Energy endeavors to be the partner of choice and actively supports communities we work in and around, Morrison said. “Education and workforce development are key areas to develop as they contribute greatly to the overall long-term health and well being of the community. Spectra Energy is excited to contribute to the Northern Lights College and the important trades programs they offer.”
