A group of aboriginal chiefs in northern British Columbia declared support for a pipeline corridor that would connect Albertan oil and gas plays with the Pacific in a letter delivered Tuesday to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the premiers of Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan. First Nations along the pipeline recognize the importance of alternative oil export markets to our national economy. The chiefs maintained that Eagle Spirit would consult with First Nations on the design, engineering, constructions and operation of the pipeline and corridor to ensure the project exceeds regulatory requirements.

Staff Writer, The Northern View, September 30, 2015 http://ow.ly/SX9hM
Terrace council voted on Monday to write a letter of support to TransCanada endorsing both of its natural gas pipelines and all projects associated with those pipelines, both upstream in Northeastern B.C. where the gas originates and downstream on Lelu Island and near Kitimat where it would be cooled into a liquefied state for export.
The letter was originally withheld until a meeting with the Provincial Minister Responsible for Community Development- Peter Fassbender, at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities annual convention held in Vancouver last week.
Victor N. Bryant, CEO of Highbank Resources Ltd. further comments; 'These projects are not without a healthy debate….to be informed of the developments, please follow the links below and in previous news releases.'

Environmentalists serve native interests well, by extracting maximum profits out of resource developments. In a predictable display of stakeholder democracy and sustainable development, native leaders, environmentalists, governments and industry all participated in a historic breakthrough this week - an agreement to build a pipeline carrying oil from Alberta through the Rockies and the British Columbia interior to the Pacific Ocean, from where tankers will deliver the oil to China and beyond.
