(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) TORONTO, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global professional services company GHD has been selected by Infrastructure Ontario (IO), on behalf of the Ontario government, to lead a feasibility study exploring the technical, social, and economic viability of building a potential new pipeline across Ontario.

“Now more than ever, cross-Canada infrastructure is needed - to achieve energy security, to open new markets for resources, and to create economic development,” said Steve Lécuyer, GHD's Executive General Manager for Canada.“Today's announcement is the first step to making those goals a reality. We commend the governments of Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan for acting today to build a better tomorrow.”

Working together with AtkinsRéalis Group Inc., Ernst & Young LLP (EY Canada), Mokwateh, Turner & Townsend Limited and Wood, GHD will examine the possibility of establishing a new economic and energy corridor to carry Western Canadian oil and gas from Alberta and Saskatchewan, including:

• Assessment of corridor options including port outlets on James Bay, Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes
• Best practices in Indigenous participation & equity strategies
• Financial and commercial tools needed to support project delivery
• Adjacent development opportunities including all-season roads, mineral exports, grid upgrades, refineries, and a strategic petroleum reserve

“GHD is dedicated to engaging and collaborating with Indigenous communities,” added Lécuyer.“We are proud to be part of this generational opportunity to support economic reconciliation and bring sustainable prosperity to every corner of the country.”
