Premier Rachel Notley visited Lodge 146’s office and training centre in Calgary on Wednesday, May 30, 2018, to announce she was standing with the working people of Alberta and supports the Trans Mountain pipeline to the Canadian coastline by backstopping the project up to $2 billion.

Members are encouraged to sign a petition requesting that the Government of Canada withdraw the proposed ban on crude oil tanker traffic off BC’s north coast and begin a new process whereby the interests of all affected, especially Indigenous and other communities in the region, are considered concurrently with a robust industry and national economic assessment, which recognizes the importance of ensuring Canada’s world-leading environmentally and socially responsible oil and gas industry can reach the growing demand of global markets.

You have until June 5th to sign the petition. Learn more by clicking here.
