Pembina Pipeline Corporation and Breakfast Club of Canada Expand Breakfast Program to Four Indigenous Schools

CALGARY, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that in celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day, its signature community investment program, Fuel 4 Thought, has launched in Driftpile First Nation, Sturgeon Lake Cree First Nation, Alexis Nakota Sioux First Nation and Ktunaxa Nation Council.

In partnership with Breakfast Club of Canada, Fuel 4 Thought serves a healthy breakfast to 140,000 kids across communities where Pembina operates to ensure young people have the energy they need to realize their full potential.

"We work closely with our communities and Indigenous partners to develop opportunities to collaborate on community projects," said Jaret Sprott, Pembina's Senior Vice President & COO, Facilities. "We work hard to understand the challenges in the areas where we operate. When we found out that 1 in 2 children in Indigenous communities across Canada are at risk of starting their day on an empty stomach, we saw an opportunity to make a big difference with our Fuel 4 Thought program."

Many of Pembina's operations are located on or near First Nations and Métis lands. Building relationships with Indigenous communities helps Pembina employees better understand local needs. "Our Indigenous neighbours have a special interest in the land on which we operate, and today is a great opportunity to recognize and celebrate the heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples," added Mr. Sprott.

"At Breakfast Club of Canada, we strongly value the communities of our Indigenous People," said Daniel Germain, Founding President, Breakfast Club of Canada. "Many of these communities have seen generation after generation of adversity and are demanding change for a better future. When you provide a child with a nutritious meal, you provide them with the equal opportunities as their peers. The changes being brought into these four communities will last for generations and will allow others to be inspired and demand change for their own."

"Education is the future for our people," said Ann Mclean, Principal, Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation School. "When you've eaten breakfast you're more alert, and ready to get to the task at hand."

To celebrate the launch, Pembina released a video of Fuel 4 Thought in action at the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation School. Watch it here.

Through Fuel 4 Thought, Pembina invests $1.5 million to support nutritious breakfast programs in high-needs schools within many of the Company's operating areas across Canada.
