There was a great deal of public concern and confusion about the severity of seasonal influenza in 2009. TransCanada monitored the changing situation closely to ensure all employees and contractors had access to the best medical advice and services.

We launched an educational campaign that we called "Stop the Flu Before It Stops You." All employees who exhibited flu symptoms were asked to stay at home. As it became clear that one of the flu hotspots around the globe was Mexico, where we operate, we curtailed all but essential travel to and from that country.

These proactive measures are part of TransCanada's larger Business Continuity Plan. For the past two years, our Business Continuity Planning Team (BCPT) has determined the nature and level of resources needed to ensure the smooth, uninterrupted operation of our business.

At TransCanada, we leave nothing to chance.
