New Alberta Pipeline Would Span Jasper National Park
Alberta's submission to the federal Major Projects Office reveals plans for a new pipeline that would cross Jasper National Park, one of Canada's most iconic protected areas.
The West Coast Oil Pipeline, which would transport over one million barrels of oil per day, would have seven percent of its route passing through the park.
No specific details about the potential environmental impact or public consultations on this project are mentioned in Alberta's submission. The proposal has not yet been reviewed by federal authorities.
