       Jan 24 (Reuters) - Parkland Corp  PKI.TO  on Wednesday
said it has temporarily shut down processing operations at its
55,000 barrel-per-day Burnaby refinery in British Columbia,
Canada.
    "While restarting, we encountered an issue with a processing
unit on January 21, 2024. As a result, we paused the restart and
the refinery's processing operations remain temporarily shut
down," said Alex Coles, vice president and general manager of
the refinery, in a press release.
    "Due to recent extreme cold weather, we proactively
initiated steps to pause processing operations at the refinery."
        
    Heavy snowfall
     and frigid winds swept across the country last week as
Canada emerged from the blast of cold temperatures over the
weekend.
