BURLINGTON, ON. April 8th, 2013 This is very short notice – we just leaned of the event on the weekend.
Environmental Defence is holding an “open line: Town Hall on Tuesday, tomorrow, April 9th between 7 and 8 pm.
Walkers Line, between the 1st and 2nd Side road – favourite spot for police to park and catch speeders is also where Enbridge’s line 9b runs – two feet below the surface.
They want to talk and listen to people who have concerns about the Enbridge Pipeline company’s proposal to reverse its Line 9 pipeline and send dangerous tar sands oil through the most densely populated areas in Ontario and Quebec. This project that could put our communities, rivers and lakes, and drinking water at risk from a tar sands oil spill. When tar sands oil spills the effects can be devastating.
The red line indicates Line 9b, runs from Westover through to Montreal and will carry toxic Alberta tar sands oil.
That pipeline runs right through Burlington at the edge of the Escarpment; a break in that pipeline, which is 38 years old, would have toxic oil flowing into the streams that become creeks in our community.
Environmental Defence invites you to join them in this telephone town hall meeting on April 9th to learn more and ask questions about what this project means for your community.
It’s free! And here is how it works:
