Petro-Canada’s proposed sour gas pipeline is going within 440 metres of a home on the Eden Valley Reserve. If it were off reserve, the pipeline would have to be at least 1.5 kilometres away.

Also, the odds are stacked against any successful emergency response: more than half the reserve residents don’t have land-line phones; there is no cell-phone coverage; and a large percentage of residents can’t read.
