Public Consultation

We're Listening to our Communities and Stakeholders

Over the past three years we've been meeting with communities, First Nations, Métis, interest groups and governments. This dialogue has been considered in the preliminary project design with the goal of mitigating environmental impacts, including those on wildlife and traditional land uses.

We have conducted preliminary environmental analysis of the project and have incorporated this analysis in the preliminary project design and general project route. As we begin the detailed environmental studies and stakeholder consultation required for regulatory application, we will work to identify and mitigate potential impacts of the project.

We Welcome Your Input

We believe in open and transparent consultation about our project plans with all of our affected communities and stakeholders. Interested parties will be engaged on an ongoing basis through various means, including open houses, public information meetings and information materials.

Enbridge will continue to discuss the Gateway Project with interested parties into 2006 in aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities across Northern British Columbia and Alberta.

As part of our consultation efforts, Enbridge Gateway will also host three Discussion Forums in the fall of 2006 in different locations in Alberta and British Columbia to provide an opportunity for in-person discussion on the Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment (ESA). These forums will take place over two days in order to cover the broad range of information and interests.

We have also launched web-based On-line Modules to seek input, broaden awareness of the project, foster an exchange of views, answer questions or concerns of individuals, organizations and other stakeholders on development of the ESA and Project.

Finally, Advisory Working Groups will be hosted to build on the general ESA knowledge from the on-line modules and discussion forums, and begin focusing on environmental protection and monitoring measures.

Enbridge and its contractors will also continue environmental, engineering and land studies, as well as public consultation and aboriginal engagement, which are important components of any planning stage. This work will help us determine the best possible route for the pipeline and allow us to assess and minimize potential impacts from construction and during operation. Enbridge has a history of working with the communities in which it operates and looks forward to cultivating and supporting similar relation-ships with local communities along the proposed Gateway corridor.
