"The air we breathe is vital to the health of our lungs. We need to protect it - both outside our homes and inside where we live, work and play," says The Lung Association of Saskatchewan's President and CEO, Brian Graham. "We are delighted to work with SaskEnergy on this important fundraising initiative because improving lung health in Saskatchewan is an important goal shared by our organizations," he adds.

"Even though natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel, we encourage all our customers to find ways to reduce their consumption. We are pleased to partner with our SaskEnergy Network Members and The Lung Association of Saskatchewan to promote cleaner air so that everyone benefits."
