Alberta’s government launches a webpage dedicated to a proposed pipeline to the northwest coast.

This pipeline has the potential to transform Canada into a global energy superpower. However, the road to shovels in the ground is a long one and this new website will act as a central hub for project information and updates, ensuring transparency and open dialogue. The new website includes information for all people in Alberta and across Canada on the economic benefits of a pipeline, the engagement underway with Indigenous communities, and the expedited process that is underway to seek approval from the federal Major Projects Office.

The province is committed to acting as a proponent to deliver a submission of a pipeline project to Canada’s northwest coast to the Major Projects Office. This was part of the historic agreement signed by Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney that clears a path for increased energy production and an oil pipeline to access Asia and other global markets.

“We remain committed to evidence-based planning and collaboration as we lead the way in advancing the Northwest Coast Oil Pipeline submission. With the launch of this new webpage, we’re providing a transparent, accessible platform for everyone in Canada to stay informed.”

Brian Jean, Minister of Energy and Minerals
