Enbridge Northern Gateway Project

Enbridge is the biggest proponent for oil tankers on Canada’s Pacific North Coast. Its proposed Northern Gateway Pipelines Project calls for two pipelines running between Alberta’s tar sands and a marine terminal in Kitimat, B.C. From the terminal, 220 massive supertankers would transport oil to Asia and the southern U.S. each year.

Enbridge claims their project will create jobs and benefit the economy. The reality is that there will be very few long term jobs. Most of the oil refining jobs will be shipped out with the oil. The only thing Enbridge can promise with certainty is that when an oil tanker spill happens, Canadians will be left to clean up the mess. We could lose our fish, our beaches, our whales, our culture—our beautiful coast. Enbridge will have no legal responsibility to clean up or pay for an oil spill once the tanker leaves their terminal.

Concerned Canadians have told Enbridge loud and clear: We don’t want your pipelines and tankers! Living Oceans Society is determined to keep them out. Here's how we're doing that.
