Complexities of Enbridge's Gateway Project
Enbridge's Northern Gateway project would cross more than 1000 streams and rivers, two major salmon-bearing watersheds, and would bring the first ever crude oil tankers to BC's north coast and Great Bear Rainforest. Not surprisingly, the project is controversial. Dogwood summarized the controversy during an April 14th call-in investor briefing
At the invitation of CERES and Ethical Funds, Dogwood Initiative participated in an April 14th, 2009 call-in investor briefing that focused on some of the unique and poorly disclosed risks associated with Enbridge Inc's proposed Northern Gateway tar sands pipeline/tanker project.
As an NGO with an active campaign opposing the project, Dogwood was asked to give a presentation summarizing the complexities arising from the environmental concerns with Gateway.
The presentation, available above in slide/audio format focused on:
(a) the economic and cultural importance of salmon to northern British Columbians;
(b) the consistent opposition of a majority of British Columbians to the idea of oil tanker traffic through the north coast/Great Bear Rainforest.
