UBCIC Celebrates Landmark Court Win that Signals the End of Trans Mountain Pipeline and Tanker Project
(Coast Salish Territory/Vancouver, B.C. – 30 August 2018) The Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) is celebrating the Federal Court of Appeal verdict on the Trans Mountain approval and calls on Prime Minister Trudeau to immediately stop construction and shut the project down.
Mounties say four more anti-pipeline protesters, including three seniors, were arrested outside a Kinder Morgan work site in Burnaby, B.C. Friday.
According to police, the demonstrators were taken into custody in the 7000 block of Bayview Drive after allegedly breaching a court-ordered injunction designed to stop pipeline opponents from impeding access to the Trans Mountain facility.

Kinder Morgan stated in a letter to the Neskonlith Indian Band that it would be seeking provincial authorizations related to a number of “activities” within the traditional territory of the band.
