The Eagle Spirit Pipeline is a $16-billion, First Nations-owned Canadian pipeline proposed by businessman Calvin Helin which would ship oil from Northern Alberta to Prince Rupert, British Columbia.[1]
The Eagle Spirit Pipeline is a proposed alternative to the previous Northern Gateway Pipeline and Trans Mountain Pipeline. Helin claims the project has 100% backing from First Nations groups and carries a low risk in comparison to previous pipeline proposals.[2]
The project has the support of 35 First Nations groups, could reduce emissions by 100 megatons and potentially be safer than previous pipeline proposals.[3] The pipeline is estimated to carry 4 million barrels per day of oil and 10 billion cubic feet of natural gas.[4]
Current barriers facing the project are National Energy Board approval, and the tanker ban implemented by the Trudeau government and Bill C48.[5]
