Suncor Energy Inc. is facing seven environmental charges in connection with its Strathcona County refinery. Jess Sinclair, the press secretary for Alberta's minister of environment and parks, said in a news release Sunday that the charges relate to a July 2018 incident at the facility. All of the charges are contraventions of the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act — one charge each of releasing a substance into the environment that may cause an adverse effect and failing to report the release in a timely manner, and five counts of contravening a term or condition of approval. The company is scheduled to appear in court in Sherwood Park on July 29.
