Some Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) schools use propane as a heating source, and thus, stores it on-site in several propane tanks, supplied by Sparlings Propane of Parkland Corporation.
All equipment is maintained according to the standards set out in provincial and federal regulations. The propane storage area is clear of vegetation and snow, and accessible by propane trucks for deliveries. The propane storage area is maintained according to the latest version of CSA B149.2 Propane Storage and Handling Code.
The quantity of propane stored on-site is regulated by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

Propane (UN 1075) is a gas under normal atmospheric conditions, however, increasing the pressure causes the substance to condense into a liquid. This characteristic of propane allows for storage of large quantities of liquid propane inside of a pressurized container. When liquid propane vaporizes from its liquid state into its gaseous state, it creates a refrigerating effect (cooling).
Propane is used in industry as a fuel source, refrigerant, solvent, and as a chemical feedstock. The product that is stored and distributed to the school is odorized with Ethyl Mercaptan making the product smell like rotten eggs or boiling cabbage to aid in detection.
