Red Deer city council united in support for pipeline construction
Red Deer city council took a united stand Monday night in support of pipeline construction.
Members voted unanimously in support of a resolution to advocate to both the provincial and federal governments for not only pipelines, but economic diversification, environmental sustainability, and improved energy market access.
Red Deer joins councils in Calgary, Cold Lake and Bonnyville, all of which have recently passed similar resolutions.
Asked to pinpoint one thing preventing the building of pipelines, Mayor Tara Veer said it’s an issue of perspective.
