HOUSTON, May 8 -- The Vancouver-based energy and utility services BC Gas has changed its name to Terasen Inc.
"Over the past 10 years, our core businesses have increased significantly to the point where we have simply outgrown the BC Gas name," said John Reid, Terasen president and CEO.
Since its creation in 1988 when Inland Natural Gas purchased BC Hydro's Lower Mainland gas division, BC Gas has expanded beyond the British Columbia border.
All subsidiaries have taken on a variation of the Terasen name. The company's trading symbol on the Toronto Stock Exchange changed to TER, effective May 5.
