| EPCOR Natural Gas |

Businesses and residents in rural Brockton will soon be able to convert their heating and water systems to natural gas, following the approval of a $20.3-million project by EPCOR Ontario Utilities Inc. to extend natural gas into the region. The provincial government announced $234-million in funding for natural gas projects in 43 communities, including Brockton, to help reduce costs for farmers, businesses and families by offering access to this inexpensive form of energy.
