Five people sitting at a kitchen table can change how a gas plant gets built.
A business leader whose family has watched Grande Prairie move through 60 years of commodity cycles can change how a region thinks about what it means to actually build something that lasts.
A GM of a pro hockey team who didn't have the language for mental health early in his career, and helped build the tools his players now rely on, can change how an entire industry thinks about support.
A developer who treats community acceptance as part of the business case, not an afterthought, can change what's possible when major infrastructure comes to a region.
That's Creating Shared Value. Business performance and community outcomes aren't separate things. The relationship between them is where the strength comes from.

Today is the National Day of Mourning.
We remember those who lost their lives, were injured, or became ill because of their work. We also recognize the families, friends, and communities who carry that with them.
For those of us in this industry, this hits close to home. Everyone understands what’s at stake.
At CSV, starting with care shows up in how we look out for one another, the decisions we make, and the moments we choose to speak up or step in.
That’s what safety is built on.
Today, we take a moment to remember and reflect on the role each of us plays in making sure the people beside us go home safe.
This is the shot every third wants.
Clean double. Open it up. Change the end.
In that moment, it’s all about the double takeout.
From the hack, it looks straightforward. A line in, clean it up, and change the end with one throw. When it lands just right, one stone goes, then the other, and suddenly the whole house looks different.
It’s a good shot. But what matters is what it leaves behind. The space it opens up, the way it changes the next call, and how it quietly reshapes everything that follows. The impact doesn’t stop with the stones that moved. It carries forward into the next shot, and the entire game.
That’s a familiar dynamic in how we approach our work.
Value doesn’t stop at our fence line. It shows up in how a project is set up long before it’s operating. Work structured to stay in the region. Contractors and suppliers who are part of it from the start. A portion of annual revenue from Albright committed and directed to our communities by people who live there.
Those choices don’t change the output of the facility. But they change what stays behind once it’s up and running.
Over time, that becomes visible. Not in one moment, but across everything it sets in motion.

A growing share of activity across Canada’s oil and gas sector is happening through acquisition, often alongside new builds within the same portfolios.
As acquisitions take on a greater role in building scale and reliability, how those assets are integrated and operated after close becomes what ultimately determines whether that value is realized.
An asset doesn’t reset when ownership changes. It carries forward the decisions that shaped it, and those don’t always translate cleanly under a new operator.
Karr was one of those cases for CSV.
When it entered our portfolio, the facility was already mid-development, with engineering, equipment, and an expansion path defined. Advancing it meant stepping into a project in motion and determining which decisions would hold up over the long term.
A full technical review followed. Design assumptions were reassessed, equipment configurations revisited, and parts of the facility reworked to align with how the system needed to perform. At the same time, the expansion moved forward, requiring integration between what had been built and what needed to change.
Karr became our first fully operated gas plant, delivering consistent performance from a system not originally designed under our model.
Today, it operates with north of 99% reliability and serves as a stable base for producers in a highly active part of northern Alberta. Its reliability strengthens customer and supplier relationships and provides a financial base for CSV to invest in future projects and programs.
As assets continue to change hands across the industry, outcomes will depend less on the deal itself and more on how they’re carried forward, through the decisions made, the standards applied, the impact to region and community considered, and how the asset performs over time.
Karr is an industry example of how those decisions translate into long-term performance and value.
