We are responding to climate change and environmental emergencies unlike anything we’ve seen before – and projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker expansion project (TMX) are adding fuel to the fire.

The original Trans Mountain pipeline has spilled thousands of litres of oil with over 85 oil spills from the 70-year-old pipeline – confirming that oil spills are inevitable.

TMX will result in a 300% increase in the volume of transported oil and 700% increase in tanker traffic, dramatically increasing the risk of a catastrophic spill along the route and in the Salish Sea. With the frightening rate at which our world is changing due to climate change, it’s critical that we keep raising the alarm about projects like TMX. And we need your help to do it.
