Around the world, people are watching in horror as the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico unfolds. It is a chilling reminder of the high risks involved in unconventional oil development. Here in the Northwest it is a warning of what may come if we fail to remain diligent in protecting our rivers and coast.

Enbridge is proposing to build an 1,172km pipeline from the Alberta Tar Sands to Kitimat BC and to export the oil on 220 supertankers each year. The stakes couldn't be any higher. The risks are tremendous.

Over the coming months, the Oil & Water Tour will bring First Nations, business groups, environmental organizations and communities together to discuss the risks of oil development on our coast and engage British Columbians in a dialogue about developing alternative energy sources and promoting long-term sustainable jobs.
