Yesterday was a difficult day for our employees. Our focus going forward is providing support to those who have left the company, as well as those who remain.

As part of an enterprise-wide organizational review, Enbridge took the difficult step today of reducing our workforce by approximately 5% of our workforce across the organization. Approximately 530 positions were impacted, including about 370 in Canada and about 160 in the U.S. Approximately 50 people in the Duluth/Superior region are impacted.

Throughout this process, Enbridge is committed to treating people fairly and with respect.
