Regional Concerns Heard In Meeting With National Energy Board

Board members with the regional municipal association are the latest to meet with representatives from the National Energy Board. The NEB is on a cross-Canada tour talking about the Energy East Project that will see Alberta’s oil piped through Northwestern Ontario to the east coast. Chair Peter Watson says they want to ensure residents that they will always have their safety top of mind. Watson says the final plan will ensure all water resources and land will be protected. Watson notes they will oversee the construction, operations and daily life cycle of the pipeline. He stresses they are always assessing the integrity of pipes across the country.
