Hearing Update, December 9, 2008
Lorne Fitch said today:
There are only two areas left in the foothills of Southern Alberta from the Montana border to the Bow River that are of sufficient size and biological integrity — that is, without roads and other industrial fragmentation — where we can see what the world was like before we started the massive changes that have happened to the rest of it. One is the Whaleback which has been made a heritage rangeland to keep it in a pristine and unfragmented state. This area — the headwaters region of Pekisko and Willow Creeks — falls into the same category. It is the place where things begin.
The pipeline would mean the loss of this area. It would be like losing one of the gems in your wedding ring.
