Tsleil-Waututh Nation Opposes Kinder Morgan’s Campaign To Make Vancouver An Oil Port City‏

Oil tanker off of Chevron refinery in Burrard Inlet, the facility used by Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline to export Tar Sands oil.

Tsleil-Waututh Nation Chief Justin George stated in November 2011 that his community considers Kinder Morgan’s proposal to expand the Trans Mountain Pipeline “a risk too great to accept”. “Now that some of the details of this plan have been released” says George, “we want to make it crystal clear that we will oppose any and all increased oil tanker traffic in the Inlet and we oppose the notion of Kinder Morgan turning Vancouver into an oil port city.”
