Important Message

As the only federally regulated pipeline with access to Canada’s West Coast, the Trans Mountain Pipeline is vital to getting oil to new markets. Built in 1953, the Trans Mountain Pipeline’s capacity has previously been increased through twinning parts of the line and adding associated facilities. In response to market demand and export opportunity, the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline Extension Project will fully twin the 1,150-kilometre pipeline route and more than double capacity.

The $7.4 billion construction project will take two years and will use the existing pathway for 73% of the route, 16% of the route will follow other infrastructure such as telecom, hydro and highways, and the remaining 11% will be new right-of-way.

The Trans Mountain Pipeline benefits all Canadians.

We’re in this together.

We all have a stake in getting the pipeline expanded. As citizens, we’ll benefit from the jobs and increased revenue it will bring. And as owners of the pipeline, we’ll profit from our investment. That’s why all Canadians need to work together to get it built. We can’t lose out on the jobs, profit and vital funding for roads, schools and hospitals.
