Energy East: Our Risk, Their Reward

Thursday, April 09, 2015

You’re invited!

Join us on Saturday, April 11 at the Fort Garry Hotel for a public forum on the proposed Energy East pipeline.

TransCanada’s Energy East project would convert an up to 40-year-old natural gas pipeline to ship 1.1 million barrels of oil every day through the Prairies to New Brunswick. Join the Council of Canadians, the Wilderness Committee and many other allies to find out why this massive tar sands pipeline puts our water, land and air at risk.

Energy East: Our Risk, Their Reward
Sat. April 11, 2015
7:00 p.m.
Fort Garry Hotel, Provencher Ballroom
222 Broadway, Winnipeg

Featuring:

  • Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians, on extreme energy and protecting water
  • Benjamin Gotschall, Rancher and Energy Director with Bold Nebraska, on landowner resistance to Keystone XL
  • Fawn Wapioke, Chief of Iskatewizaagegan (Shoal Lake 39) and member of the Grassroots Indigenous Water Defence
