Parkland Corporation announced that it has temporarily shut down processing operations at the Burnaby Refinery (the refinery). To ensure reliability of supply, Parkland has increased imports of refined products into its on-site shipping terminal, which will be safely delivered to customers across the lower mainland and Vancouver Island. The refinery's blending, shipping, terminal, and rack activities remain operational.

This enables refined fuels to be offloaded from ships and rail directly into the refinery, where they can be safely stored and reliably distributed to customers. The company expects the refinery will return to normal operations in approximately four weeks.
