Title

Westcoast Transmission Co. Pipeline "Looping Project"

Description

In April 1978, UBCIC conducted a research gathering trip investigating the potential socio-economic and environmental impacts of a proposed looping project by Westcoast Transmission. Looping refers to the doubling a pipeline by laying another pipeline by laying another pipeline beside it. After consultation with local Bands, UBCIC intervened at the National Energy Board public hearing into Westcoast Transmission's application, presenting evidence of the harmful impacts.
