Enbridge buys holiday meals for workers

To thank the men and women who are building Line 3 and the communities all across the right of way, Enbridge purchased more than 3,600 gift cards from northern Minnesota restaurants, totaling more than $90,000.

“We wanted to find a way to give back to the communities and businesses in northern Minnesota who we know have experienced significant economic strain due to the pandemic, while also thanking the construction crews who are building the Line 3 Replacement Project,” says Lorraine Little, director of Community Engagement. “Purchasing these gift cards is a win-win because they help support local businesses and provide some holiday cheer for the crews.”

Workers will be picking up their meals from local establishments this week all across the state. Nearly 600 workers have received gift cards to enjoy meals from the Rendezvous Bar & Grill, Carmen’s and Pedro’s in Cloquet; Trapper Pete’s Steakhouse & Saloon in Scanlon; Mainline Station in Floodwood; and The Buffalo House in Duluth. “From our Enbridge family to yours, we’re wishing everyone a safe and merry holiday season,” added Little in a press release from the pipeline company.
