SPARLING'S PROPANE INVESTS IN P38 INC. TO SUPPORT GROWTH OF THE PROPANE INDUSTRY THROUGH HIGHER STANDARDS OF COMPLIANCE

Blyth, Ontario, Canada - May 25, 2009

Today Sparling's Propane of Blyth, Ontario is pleased to announce its investment in P38 Inc., a commitment to work towards transforming the propane industry in Canada. P38 Inc. is owned by a highly-motivated group of independent companies with different and diverse competencies, but a like-minded resolve to help build a better propane industry.

“For years, we have said industry must make a compelling case for safe, clean, cost-effective energy,” says Steven Sparling, VP Operations. “It is time for those of us who are invested in industry to shoulder our responsibility and fund practical research efforts, establish mutually beneficial strategic partnerships and ultimately, work to grow the industry by making a compelling, fact-based case for propane.”

Of particular interest to Sparling's is the P38 commitment to establish a rigorous risk management and performance measurement initiative. This will be accomplished in collaboration with one of the world's leading underwriting firms. “Take a look around. Opinions and anecdotal comments do not influence hard outcomes. From cars to chemicals, third party certification is a primary differentiator in every industry. And in the case of propane, informed consumers want to know that safety matters,” says Sparling.
