With the exception of Marion
Burnyeat, all elected directors served on the Corporation's
Board of Directors ("the Board") immediately preceding the Meeting.
The current directors have a broad skill set and range of diverse
experience that will allow the Board to effectively carry out its
mandate and help guide SECURE and the execution of our business
strategies.
New Director
SECURE is pleased to welcome Marion
Burnyeat as a new member of the Board.
Ms. Burnyeat has extensive experience in the midstream energy
industry, primarily with subsidiaries and predecessors of Spectra
Energy Corp. spanning nearly 30 years. From January 2013 to March
2017, Ms. Burnyeat held the role of Vice President of Field
Services at Westcoast Energy Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of
Spectra Energy Corp. focused on gas processing transmission and
distribution in Canada. Prior
thereto, she held various other senior positions with Westcoast
Energy Inc., including leading midstream business units, strategic
development, stakeholder relations and business development.
"Marion is a valuable addition to our Board," said Rene Amirault, Chairman, President and CEO. "She
has a great depth of midstream industry knowledge from her varied
roles within the Spectra Energy group of companies. We look forward
to her guidance and support as we execute on our objectives in the
coming years."
Ms. Burnyeat currently serves as a director of Surge Energy
Inc., a publicly traded oil focused exploration company. Marion
also serves on the boards for the Calgary Academy and Headwater
Learning Group and is an active volunteer for several charitable
organizations. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the
University of Alberta, a Master of

Departure of Board Member
Michele Harradence ended her
tenure with the Board at the Meeting to focus on her role as Senior
Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, Gas Transmission and
Midstream of Enbridge Inc. Ms. Harradence was appointed to the
Board in August 2018. The midstream
expertise she brought to the Board over the past year and a half
has been an asset to the Corporation as we expanded our midstream
offerings. We thank Michele for her guidance and wish her all the
best in the future.
As previously announced, Murray
Cobbe and David Johnson, two
of SECURE's longest serving directors, did not stand for
re-election at the Meeting, marking the end of their term on the
