Dear friends of Stop KM on Bby Mtn. (from 2014),

Dr. Tim Takaro has been in his tree beside the Brunette River for 10 days, his goal being of course, to keep TransMountain from cutting down the beautiful cottonwood trees that are keeping him aloft. He is also putting himself physically in the way of Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project construction. He climbed the mature cottonwoods on Monday August 3rd, within a section of the pipeline route along the Brunette River that is scheduled to be cleared between August 1st and September 15th.

A minefield of racial divides, violence and human rights violations is about to explode in Blue River, B.C., over the expansion of Canada’s Trans Mountain pipeline (TMX).

 

On Saturday, July 25, tensions mounted in Blue River, B.C., a tiny community of just 260 people encircled by a backdrop of a stunning mountainous landscape along Highway 5.

It’s situated at the confluence of the Blue and North Thompson Rivers, where part of the TMX expansion is underway.
