In the coming weeks, six of us face jail time for peacefully protesting the construction of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project (TMX) near the Brunette River in Burnaby. We are members of a multi-faith prayer circle and residents of Burnaby and Vancouver.

 

In mid-February, we will be appearing in B.C. Supreme Court to face charges of “criminal contempt of court.”

CALGARY — After facing interruptions caused by volatile weather and the pandemic, the Trans Mountain expansion is expected to run over budget by several billion dollars — and the federally owned pipeline project won’t be completed this year as planned.

Work to expand the oil pipeline is now forecast to cost more than $17 billion and likely won’t be done until sometime in 2023, sources say.

A damning document from Environment Canada that warned of disastrous environmental impacts was withheld from a key stage of an environmental assessment for a proposed Metro Vancouver shipping terminal.

Scientists who authored the report say the project threatens local wildlife, particularly the western sandpiper — a species of shorebird unique to the West Coast of North America that feeds in the nutrient-rich Fraser Delta during migration.
