The Calgary-based company is facing provincial and federal charges relating to the release of 225,000 litres of diluted heavy oil from a pipeline near Maidstone in July, 2016. About 40 per cent of the oil went into the North Saskatchewan River, affecting water intakes in North Battleford, Prince Albert and Melfort.

The court case, which is still in the case management stages, was adjourned to May 14.
