Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion

Burnaby RCMP made arrests after dozens of people staged a sit-in protest Burnaby Mountain today while violating a injunction to stay away from Texas-based Kinder Morgan's construction activities on Burnaby Mountain in the Greater Vancouver Region.

The air was crisp and cold as they trekked up Burnaby Mountain early on Saturday morning. People's breath came out in white puffs as each of the volunteer construction workers each carried two planks of wood. Their goal was to build a traditional Indigenous "watch house" to monitor Texas-based Kinder Morgan as it proceeds with construction of its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Cutting down trees for Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will damage waterways, infringe on park space, and reduce air quality, representatives of Burnaby, B.C. told federal regulators on Wednesday.
