NDP leader Adrian Dix is up north this weekend, following the path of Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline.
Dix will start his journey in Terrace and Kitimat, before starting the route tankers will potentially take out of the port town.
“I’m going to go to Klemtu and Bella Bella (to) spend time in the region to understand the impact that Enbridge Northern Gateway would have on our coast. It’s the reason why we’ve had a moratorium on supertankers on that part of the coast.”
Dix says the trip isn’t about politics, but about getting a first-hand look at the effects a project like Enbridge would have.
“We want to draw attention to the real issues around Enbridge Northern Gateway, not the premier’s latest position, but our environment, our economy, our ecology.”
