Alberta government launches website for proposed oil pipeline information

The Alberta government has launched a website to provide updates on its proposed bitumen pipeline to the northwest B.C. coast, aiming for transparency and open dialogue. The site includes a myth-busting section and emphasizes early planning work funded by $14 million, with the intention for private sector leadership and Indigenous involvement. Premier Danielle Smith envisions the pipeline transporting up to a million barrels of crude daily, with no construction company yet identified. Alberta plans to submit an application to the federal major projects office by July 1, backed by an advisory group of major pipeline operators.
