North Peace Minor Baseball eyes expansion after quick recovery from shed fire
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The president of North Peace Minor Baseball is feeling 'fantastic' despite a fire which burned its equipment shed to the ground at the start of the season. Scott MacLean said there were no delays in the season beginning, even though the club's shed went up in flames in April , one day before opening the season. At the time, the Fort St. John RCMP said it had received a report about the fire but did not give any more information. Several donors stepped up to give the club a hand, including NorthRiver Midstream, Rig Ratz Safety, Jiffy Lube and United Rentals. 'We were able to replace all the equipment that was inside and erect a small storage shed,' said MacLean. 'It was really quick.' MacLean has been involved with the organization for the past 11 years; he became president in 2024 after the former head, Forrest Liddicoat, retired. Last season, he oversaw the development of a youth umpire program, which he says has 'been fantastic' and for his second year, he wanted to see more player enrollment in the league. '[Player growth has] been continual over the last 10 years,' said MacLean. 'We took a chance on moving people from a waiting list and actually had about 300-plus participants. 'In my second year I concentrated a little bit more on growth. Based on our waiting lists that we currently have, I would like to expand even more next year. We had 40 kids on the waiting list, my goal is to have nobody on the waiting list.' As the season draws to a close, North Peace Minor Baseball will host the Montney League Baseball playoff tournament for competitive teams at the U-13, U-15 and U-18 levels and recreational league playoffs in town will begin on Monday, June 23rd. Headquartered in Beaverlodge, the Montney League Baseball will feature teams from Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Grande Prairie, High Prairie and Peace River starting on Friday, June 20th at Kin Park. 'We are fortunate Fort St. John has one of the nicer facilities at Kin Park to host large tournaments,' said MacLean. 'We do find that the other communities do like coming here.'

Keyera Announces Sanctioning of KAPS Zone 4 and Provides Other Commercial Updates
CALGARY, AB , /CNW/ - Keyera Corp. (TSX: KEY) ("Keyera") announced today the formal sanctioning of KAPS Zone 4, a strategic extension of its integrated system. This expansion strengthens Keyera's connectivity to the growing liquids-rich Montney regions of northeast British Columbia and northwest Alberta , some of the most active and resource-rich areas in North America . "The sanctioning of KAPS Zone 4 marks another important milestone in the execution of our strategy to grow and extend our value chain," said Dean Setoguchi , President and CEO. "This project reflects strong customer demand for our fully integrated service offerings and our ability to connect to valuable end-markets. By enhancing connectivity and optionality, Zone 4 strengthens our competitive position and delivers greater value to our customers." KAPS Zone 4 is an 85-kilometre extension of the existing KAPS pipeline, connecting Pipestone to Gordondale, Alberta . It will connect to NorthRiver Midstream's Northeast BC Connector project. Together, these systems offer Montney producers a fully integrated and cost-effective route from northeast British Columbia to Fort Saskatchewan area fractionation and Keyera's industry-leading condensate hub. The capital cost of KAPS Zone 4 is expected to be $220 million (net to Keyera), which includes investments in additional pumping capacity on KAPS Zones 1 to 3. The project is targeted to enter service in mid-2027. The project is backed by long-term transportation agreements with several investment-grade Montney producers, averaging 11 years in duration and 75% take-or-pay commitments. The agreements include downstream services such as fractionation, storage, transportation, and marketing, further demonstrating the value of Keyera's integrated offering. Keyera has secured over 75,000 barrels per day of new contracted volumes across KAPS Zones 1 through 4 in recent months, with substantially all volumes also committed to incremental downstream services. Keyera's current and future fractionation capacity, which includes the Fort Saskatchewan Fractionation Unit II debottleneck and the Fort Saskatchewan Fractionation Unit III expansion project, is now substantially fully contracted, supporting strong utilization and returns across the system. Investments in Zone 4 and fractionation expansions directly contribute to the growth of Keyera's long-term, fee-for-service cash flows, supporting continued sustainable dividend growth. In response to growing volumes across Keyera's integrated system, Keyera has entered into an agreement with AltaGas to export an additional 12,500 barrels per day of natural gas liquids via AltaGas' west coast export facilities starting in 2028. This builds on the 12,500 barrels per day announced earlier this year. The agreement will further strengthen Keyera's ability to offer its customers more diversified market access for LPGs, including premium Asian markets, while providing AltaGas with long-term ratable export volumes and cash flows. About Keyera Corp. Keyera Corp. (TSX: KEY) operates an integrated Canadian-based energy infrastructure business with extensive interconnected assets and depth of expertise in delivering energy solutions. Its predominantly fee-for-service based business consists of natural gas gathering and processing; natural gas liquids processing, transportation, storage and marketing; iso-octane production and sales; and an industry-leading condensate system in the Edmonton / Fort Saskatchewan area of Alberta .
