A World-Class Gateway
As the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken between the two
provinces, the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project will bring economic
opportunities to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal groups across northern
British Columbia and Alberta. With an estimated capital cost of
$5.5 billion, Northern Gateway will create thousands of job opportunities
for regional residents throughout project construction and operations,
while providing approximately $36 million of property taxes annually.

Northern Gateway will be a model of world-class safety and

environmental standards.

“Northern Gateway’s shipping routes can be safely navigated
by the largest ships proposed for the project. In fact, at
the narrowest points the Douglas and Principe Channels
have waterway-to-vessel width ratios three times wider than
Transport Canada’s minimum recommendation.”
Chris Anderson, Master Mariner, Principal, Portplan

Over the past 25 years, more than 1,500 ships have safely travelled
to Kitimat carrying petrochemical products, including methanol,
ammonia and condensate. For Northern Gateway, three tanker routes
are proposed, all of which are existing shipping routes. The routes
include the North route via Dixon Entrance and Browning Entrance,
the South route via Queen Charlotte Sound and Caamaño Sound
and the South route via Queen Charlotte Sound and Browning Entrance.

 Protecting the Environment

A
t Northern Gateway, safeguarding the quality of life enjoyed
by communities along the project route is always front-of-
mind, and we understand that the best way to do this is to
protect the environment. As such, the long-term success of our
project depends on our ability to construct the project in an
environmentally responsible way.

As part of Northern Gateway’s planning, a team of over

200 environmental experts and scientists conducted a
comprehensive analysis along the project route in areas such
as marine biology, soil, vegetation, wildlife, water resources,
fish, human health, archaeology and others. The findings of this
analysis have been incorporated into our planning to ensure
that construction proceeds safely and responsibly and that
our environmental impact is minimized throughout the
operational life of the project.

 Meaningful Consultation and Engagement
The future of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project rests with the
communities of the North. We are committed to meaningful and open
discussion with Aboriginals, stakeholders, communities and private
landowners in BC and Alberta.
E N
nbridge has a long history
of working with Aboriginal
groups and has put in place
a detailed Aboriginal policy
that identifies paths to mutual
success. We have embraced a
new relationship with Aboriginal
peoples across Canada and
recognize Aboriginal rights.
Northern Gateway is
committed to working with
First Nations and Métis groups
along the pipeline route to
create meaningful economic
opportunities and to incorporate
traditional knowledge into the
planning and operations of the
project. A measure of our success
will be our ability to accomplish
these goals.
To achieve this high level
of respectful and meaningful
involvement, Northern Gateway
is seeking to develop:
• Aboriginal equity ownership in
the Kitimat Marine Terminal and
pipeline operations
• Protocol Agreements that provide funds
to support a dialogue between Northern
Gateway and Aboriginal groups
• Additional agreements that
cover specific opportunities
such as employment, training,
business procurement and
environmental protection
• A coastal community strategy to
build upon the local knowledge and
skills of coastal First Nations
“Northern Gateway would provide
a predictable revenue stream for
local government and jobs for
both Aboriginal and non-
Aboriginal people in the
community, as well as opening
the door for new marine
occupations for coastal
communities. As we look at the
opportunities that may create
jobs, we also have to recognize
that it must be done in an
environmentally sustainable way.
If the environmental review
process confirms that no harm
will be done, these are the
kind of direct community
benefits that I would like to
see happen in Kitimat and along
the shipping route.”
Joanne Monaghan, Mayor of Kitimat
“What’s most impressive
about this initiative is the
demonstrated willingness of
Enbridge to engage communities
throughout the process, to
listen to concerns and to meet
the requirements of stringent
environmental regulations.”
Dan Rogers, Mayor of Prince George
orthern Gateway’s public
consultation program is
designed to:
• provide information about
the project
• identify issues
• listen to concerns and
answer questions
• obtain input into environmental,
economic and community benefits
• obtain input and incorporate
it into project design, planning
construction and operations,
where practical
• establish a community-based forum,
in the form of community advisory
boards, for stakeholder participation
and input throughout the entire
project lifecycle
Public consultation is an
integral component of Northern
Gateway, because we believe that
the project can be improved by
gaining local knowledge, insight
and recommendations from
people along the pipeline route as
well as others potentially affected
by the project. We encourage
stakeholders and participating
Aboriginal groups to share
their thoughts and help identify
environmental, economic, social
and business concerns and
opportunities for communities
throughout the life of the project.
Community Engagement
and Community Advisory Boards
Northern Gateway is undertaking an
extensive community engagement program
for the project. The community engagement
program offers a wide variety of opportunities
for individuals and organizations to learn
about the project and provide input. The
opportunities include public open houses,
presentations to local governments and
community organizations, small group
meetings, local offices in Kitimat and Terrace,
a project website, newsletters, blog, a project
toll-free number and email address.
Building Sustainable Communities
As a leader in Corporate Social
Responsibility, we see Culture &
Community, Education, Environment and
Health & Safety as key building blocks for
a sustainable community.
Enbridge’s community investment
program supports not-for-profit
organizations through financial
contributions and human resources. In
2010, Enbridge will invest over $10 million
with numerous charities, non-profit and
community organizations across Canada
and the United States.

To complement these community engagement

activities, Northern Gateway has established
community advisory boards. Community
advisory boards bring diverse interests
together, providing an opportunity for
meaningful exchange among Northern
Gateway, Aboriginal groups, non-Aboriginal
communities, industry and the general
public. It is envisioned that these will be in
place for the lifetime of the project.
Nurturing Economic Growth
The construction and operation of Northern Gateway will deliver sustainable economic
and social benefits to local communities in Alberta and British Columbia.

Should the project receive regulatory approval, it will create a lasting legacy of local
investment, tax revenue and jobs for the North, over and above the tremendous benefits
created by access to new and growing markets for Canadian natural resources.

At a time when the economy in northern BC is changing, many communities are looking
for other sources of revenue and employment. Northern Gateway has the potential to
support economic growth in the region and contribute to an energy sector that has
generated $7.5 billion in net royalties to BC since 2003.

situations. The Enbridge Safe Community Program
provides financial support to first response emergency
organizations in communities where we live and work,
helping them to acquire new safety equipment, obtain
professional training or deliver educational programs.
Arts Umbrella’s Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach Program
offers the gift of musical guidance to 200 young talents.
Enbridge is proud to support these programs, offered
in Vancouver’s inner city and selected Northern BC

60 Years of Safety and Innovation
Enbridge’s success has been built on a 60-year history of safe, reliable and environmentally
responsible operations combined with a tradition of mutually beneficial relationships with our
stakeholders and the communities in which we operate.

From its inception in 1949, Enbridge has placed the highest priority on the safety and reliability
of its operations. Our goal is to prevent all spills and leaks from our energy transportation and
distribution systems. We invest heavily in pipeline integrity and maintenance encompassing all of
the tools, technologies and strategies needed to ensure our pipeline networks have the strength
and operating “fitness” to do their job safely and reliably.

For Enbridge – as well as the landowners and communities along the right-of-way – this focus on
pipeline integrity has enormous implications. It’s a major step towards ensuring safe, incident-free
operations on one of the longest and most sophisticated liquid hydrocarbon pipelines in the world
that transports more than 2 million barrels of liquid petroleum resources every day.

WE WILL GENERATE A KILOWATT
OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
FOR EVERY KILOWATT OF POWER
OUR OPERATIONS CONSUME.
At Enbridge, we’re big believers in balance. This is why we’re
generating a kilowatt of renewable energy for every kilowatt of
electricity we use to power our pipelines. That’s not only good
for the environment, it’s good for business.
Our growing interests in green energy – including wind, solar,
heat recovery and hybrid fuel cells – generate attractive
returns for investors. Currently our investments in renewable
and alternative power have the capacity to produce more than
560 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to meet the
energy needs of approximately 180,000 Canadian homes.
As one of the world’s 100 most sustainable companies – and
one of Canada’s Greenest Employers – we’re delivering far
more than energy. We’re delivering on our commitment to
achieve a neutral environmental footprint.
