Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Proposal

A cargo ship sits docked at Rio Tinto Alcan's Kitimat Smelter on Douglas Channel, the proposed termination point for an oil pipeline in the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, in Kitimat, B.C., on Jan. 10, 2012.



The proposed tanker route leaving from Kitimat, B.C. is shown on a map. The 1,177-kilometre twin pipelines would run from Bruderheim, just outside Edmonton, to a tanker port on the northern coast of B.C.

A joint federal review panel recommended approval of the pipeline in December 2013 with 209 conditions.
