Communities concerned about the Enbridge 9 Tar Sands Pipeline, which would pass through Ontario, Vermont and Maine, are invited to a People’s Hearing in London, Ontario on May 23-25 (exact dates tentative; check official site for updated details):

“We are inviting any interested individuals, groups, and organizations to participate in a People’s Hearing on a tar sands pipeline project through Ontario. This People’s Hearing is a community-based response to this Enbridge project, and the illegitimate and anti-democratic review process which is underway.

“The official hearings will take place in London, Ontario on May 23rd and May 24th. There also may be hearings on May 25th.

“For the People’s Hearing, we are accepting: (a) online statements, videos, or audio recordings; or (b) in-person statements in London, Ontario in late May. The Hearing in London tentatively is scheduled on Wednesday, May 23rd. The schedule and location will be posted on this blog site.”

Another proposed Enbridge Pipeline would transport oil from the Alberta Tar Sands to the coast of British Columbia.
