Enbridge pipeline tech meeting Thursday available via webcast

Enbridge is holding technical meetings on its $5.5-billion pipeline project, but doesn't know yet whether those meetings will include Prince George.

Enbridge is holding technical meetings on its $5.5-billion pipeline project, but doesn't know yet whether those meetings will include Prince George.

Enbridge officials are explaining aspects of the project at public sessions, covering topics such as aboriginal relations, pipeline routing, pipeline integrity and risk management and employment and skills development.

The sessions include an opportunity for the public to ask questions of Enbridge officials.

Meetings were already held this week in Kitimat and Terrace, and another is scheduled for Burns Lake Thursday from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the College of New Caledonia. That session is accessible via live webcast on the Northern Gateway website at www.notherngateway.ca.

Enbridge spokesman Alan Roth said the intent is to pull information from its application - which runs more than 8,000 pages - to provide some technical detail but do so in layman's terms.

It's part of the company's ongoing consultation, information provision and communication around the project, said Roth.

He said more technical meetings will probably be held, but he couldn't say where, or if Prince George would be one of the locations.
