Not playing with Enbridge
I'm a musician who has lived in Prince George for the better part of the last dozen years.
Two bands I play with have been invited to play at the upcoming Canada Winter Games as part of the entertainment organized by the Coldsnap Festival in association with the games.
However, after learning that Northern Gateway, ie., Enbridge, is one of the official sponsors of the games, I've decided to withdraw from these performances.
I'm very much opposed to the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project and don't wish to play any event associated with Enbridge.
I really appreciate the invitation to play and know that Coldsnap and the games arts and culture committee have worked hard to produce a great musical lineup.
