MEDICINE HAT, AB – The city’s gas utility department is getting high marks from the Canadian Gas Association.

The City of Medicine Hat Gas Utility was presented with three awards recognizing safety and customer service in the gas industry this week.

The gas utility received Corporate Safety Award for Employee Safety in recognition of the city’s perfect employee safety scores, and the Corporate Safety Award for Vehicular Safety recognizing the organization’s track record for reducing vehicle damages over the past year.

The city was also recognized for its work in customer service, receiving the Michael Mulcahy Award for Excellence and Innovation in Customer Care and Service for significant achievement (over and above everyday activities) by members of the natural gas delivery industry in the area of innovation and service to natural gas customers.

“Safety is the top priority of the gas delivery industry and it’s a commitment we all take very seriously. Our staff demonstrate excellent leadership in safety and the Safety Awards acknowledge their achievements in this area,” added Brad Maynes, managing director of Energy and Infrastructure. “The additional recognition for excellent customer service in the industry proves how hard our employees work to serve our residents well. On behalf of the City of Medicine Hat, I congratulate our staff for this outstanding accomplishment,”
