Pipe Dreams – A presentation on the Enbridge
tar sands pipelines



How does a major pipeline project designed to carry oil from Alberta’s Tar
Sands to a tanker port on British Columbia’s west coast fit into a much-needed
low-carbon future? It doesn’t. Tar Sands are Canada’s fastest growing source of
global warming pollution. Come hear first hand concerns of impacted First
Nations and local communities, and how they’re organizing around the proposed
Enbridge pipeline. 

 

Join us at noon on Thursday, May 7th at Carleton University. Room 1216 Canadian
Studies. Refreshments provided. 

 

Speakers: 

Alphonse Gagnon, Wet’suwet’en First Nation

Kloum Khun (Alphonse Gagnon) is a hereditary chief of the Wet’suwet’en house of
Laksamshu - Medzeyex (Owl House). He is also a former chief treaty negotiator
with the Office of the Wet’suwet’en, an organization representing the
hereditary chiefs. The Wet’suwet’en Nation’s territory comprises 22,000 square
kilometres in northwest British Columbia. 

 

Nikki Skuce, Energy Campaigner, Forest Ethics

Nikki Skuce lives in Smithers, BC on Wet’suwet’en territory with her partner
