Notley’s Kamloops appearance stresses Trans Mountain goal
KAMLOOPS —Trans Mountain was the focus of the Alberta Premier’s address in Kamloops today.
Premier Rachel Notley spoke to United Steelworkers in Kamloops this morning, Oct. 31, stressing the benefits that would come with the proposed pipeline expansion.
While the message highlighted the economic and environmental progress Alberta has already made, Notley pointed to the potential impact on B.C’s economy with the twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline.
“At last estimate here in Kamloops, where I stand today, this pipeline will lead to more than $400 million of construction activity. It will mean $2.8 million in tax revenue every year, and $42 million of workforce spending during construction in the local economy.”
