Kinder Morgan wants to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs between the tar sands and the Salish Sea putting up to 400 tankers per year through our inlet. Today is a day to celebrate opposition and deepen our understanding of the issues. Please join the Tsleil-Waututh Nation Sacred Trust in our fight to stop the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion and protect the sacred waters of Burrard Inlet and the rest of the Salish Sea. The goal of this event is to celebrate positivity, bring people together across cultures and promote the leadership of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation in this effort.
