Speakers tour will bring Enbridge stories to northern B.C.
Two speakers from the United States will tour northern BC next month to share information and stories related to Enbridge pipelines south of the border. The ThinkPipeline tour will be stopping in eight communities between Prince George and Prince Rupert.
Born and raised in Battle Creek Michigan, Beth Wallace works with the National Wildlife Federation. Her presentation, “Anatomy of a Crude Oil Pipeline Accident,” tells the story of Enbridge’s 2010 crude oil spill into the Kalamazoo River.
Erin O’Brien works with the Wisconsin Wetlands Association. Her presentation, “Beyond Spills: Environmental Considerations for Communities along Pipeline Corridors,” provides an overview of Wisconsin’s experience with Enbridge’s 2007 construction of an oil pipeline.
