The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project through British Columbia's sacred Pípsell region sparked opposition from the Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc Nation over violation of Indigenous Rights and sacred spaces.
British Columbia has amended the conditions of its environmental assessment certificate for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and told the federal government it still has concerns about its response to potential marine oil spills.
While most protests against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion are happening on the land, the federal government has recognized that some of the project's greatest risks concern potentially catastrophic spills on the water.
