EDMONTON – A spokeswoman for Rachel Notley says the Alberta premier will visit British Columbia on Monday.
Cheryl Oates confined the visit would occur when she was asked via text over the weekend, but did not respond to emails asking for details.
Notley said last week that she would be heading to B.C. as early as this week to make the case for Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced federal approval of Trans Mountain last Tuesday.
Trans Mountain still has to clear regulatory hurdles and faces stiff opposition in B.C. from environmentalists, First Nations and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson.
The project proposes to triple the bitumen-carrying capacity of the pipeline from near Edmonton to Burnaby, and increase the number of tankers leaving the Vancouver-area.
