There is still time for comments to be submitted to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) on the proposed Energy East pipeline that would ship over 1 million barrels of tarsands crude thorugh Ottawa.
It's an unprecedented consultation process. 200 of us went to the public hearing in Stittsville April 7 to say why the pipeline's all risk and no reward for Ottawa, now please have your say and tell the OEB you want a Tar Free 613 !
All comments will be included in summaries of the consultation process.
To tell them what you think of Energy East, please take a minute and go to http://bit.ly/1qPKm6J or email [email protected], or fax 416 572 3736.
