Dear editor,
Visualize a quarter mile long super tanker running aground anywhere along our coast.
Loaded with Alberta diluted bitumen and condensate.
We are the first responders to this event. As we learned from Kalamazoo, Mich., cleanup is impossible and costly both in terms of human health and long term environmental damage to fisheries, aquaculture and tourism.
You have until Aug. 31 to submit your letter of comment on your views, knowledge, concerns on the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Project Joint Review Panel.
To do so, visit www.gatewaypanel.review-examen.gc.ca.
Come and listen to the oral presenters this Friday at the Comox Community Centre on Noel Avenue in Comox.
Your grandchildren will thank you.
Susanna Kaljur,
Courtenay
