While Chevron Canada puts out feelers for the sale of its marketing and refining assets, including the Burnaby refinery, the city’s mayor is hoping it can continue to stay operational under any new owner. The topic of the refinery came up at Monday’s council meeting after council approved a one-year contract extension for Chevron to supply fuel related products to the city. Mayor Derek Corrigan said he doesn’t know what’s happening with the sale of the Burnaby refinery, but he’s watching the situation closely. He also said he expects any prospective new owner to pay a visit to city hall to understand the relationship between the municipality and the refinery.
