Saskatchewan is now officially home to the largest helium purification facility in Canada.

Located near Battle Creek in the province's southwest, the new $32 million facility, owned and operated by North American Helium Inc. (NAH), is expected to produce more than 50 million cubic feet per year of purified helium for commercial sale.  For context, that would be enough to fill approximately 400,000 party balloons a day.
