| (2) | As a result of a May 2019 wildfire in northern Alberta, the Corporation experienced fire damage to parts of its Marten Creek area. Production was not affected due to the Corporation’s earlier decision to shut in seasonal natural gas production in January 2019. An insurance claims process is underway and once this process has been completed, the Corporation will have a clearer sightline as to any delays as to the seasonal restart of this field or limitations thereof. |
