THE ENBRIDGE NORTHERN GATEWAY PIPELINE PROJECT IS A GO AHEAD ACCORDING TO THE PROJECT'S VP OF PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS STEVE GREENAWAY. THIS ALL DESPITE THE OPPOSITION THEY'VE FACED BY ABORIGINAL GROUPS AND CONCERNED ENVIRONMENTALISTS.

KITIMAT MAYOR RICK WOZNEY IS LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN TOWARDS THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS THE PROJECT COULD BRING TO A REGION THAT HAS SEEN A MAJOR DECLINE IN EMPLOYMENT AND POPULATION.

THIS WEEK GREENAWAY MET WITH KITIMAT MAYOR AND COUNCIL TO DISCUSS THE CURRENT

THE PROJECT IF REALIZED WILL RESULT IN TWO TWIN PIPELINES RUNNING FROM BRUDERHEIM ALBERTA TO A YET TO BE BUILT MARINE TERMINAL IN KITIMAT. THERE ARE CONCERNS OVER PETROLEUM FILLED TANKERS IN THE DOUGLAS CHANNEL AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A SPILL.

ALTHOUGH A COMMUNITY OFFICE WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN KITIMAT SHORTLY; LIKE MANY OTHER NORTHERN PROJECTS THE TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION WILL GO INTO THE NEXT DECADE. GREENAWAY PREDICTED A START UP SOMETIME IN 2014.
