FP/CP say protesters disrupt work at Enbridge's Line 9

2014-08-06 07:07 ET - In the News

The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday, Aug. 6, edition that protesters set up a blockade at an Enbridge pipeline site in Southwestern Ontario on Tuesday, disrupting work on what is called Line 9. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that the demonstration at Innerkip, located north of Woodstock, started early in the morning and was aimed at preventing installation of a valve. Protest spokesman Rachel Avery said the valve was being installed near the Thames River, which is not adequately protected from the risk of a spill. Ms. Avery said, "We're very concerned about the severe impacts of Line 9 on waterways, including the nearby Thames River." Provincial police said there were about 25 protesters involved. The group has no formal name but Ms. Avery said the blockade is dubbed "Dam Line 9!" and has attracted people from "numerous" communities in Southwestern Ontario. Enbridge's Line 9 carries crude oil between Sarnia, Ont., and Montreal. Enbridge plans to reverse the flow of oil and increase the pipe's capacity, but opponents argue the pipeline puts the environment at risk and there has been little consultation with aboriginal communities. Enbridge confirmed Tuesday's work interruption.
