Friends, 

This morning we learned that the National Energy Board will allow Kinder Morgan to start construction at their Westridge Marine Terminal. But, Kinder Morgan still needs one crucial permit – a construction permit from the Port of Vancouver.

Kinder Morgan wants to expand the terminal so they can ship hundreds of thousands of litres of toxic tar sands out onto the Pacific, all but guaranteeing a spill in the Salish Sea. 

Help stop Kinder Morgan in its tracks and tell the Port to reject the construction permit.

This terminal is the same place we surrounded by sea and by land with hundreds of BC residents and Indigenous peoples in 2016. It’s where I paddled a kayak in front of a massive oil tanker a few days later. And, it’s where the Pacific Climate Warriors and members of Indigenous nations from all along the Pacific Coast of the US and Canada gathered to perform a protection ceremony for the water earlier this year.

If Kinder Morgan starts construction, it’s where hundreds – if not thousands – of us will be again, protecting the water, the land and the climate. The Port has a responsibility to protect the waters of the Burrard Inlet for the people who live on and near them. That means rejecting Kinder Morgan’s permit application.

Add your name to the petition telling the Port to reject this permit. 

Onwards,

Cameron
