INDIGENOUS LEADERS AND SUPPORTERS TO TAKE BOLD ACTION AT KINDER MORGAN PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION SITE

March 17, 2018, Coast Salish Territories (Vancouver) -- Indigenous leaders will lead community members in ceremony and action at Kinder Morgan’s construction site on Burnaby Mountain, starting at 10:00 AM PDT.

Indigenous leaders and supporters will meet at Kwekwecnewtxw - the Watch House and move towards Kinder Morgan’s construction zone where many may choose to take action in opposition to the proposed tar sands pipeline and tanker project. 

Saturday is the first day of a wave of actions at the site.

Kinder Morgan needs to finish tree logging before March 26, or risk significant construction delays due to the arrival of nesting migratory birds at the logging site.
