- March 2016: The project involves transporting tarsand products through an aging pipeline originally designed for natural gas. Critics argue the project poses a threat to numerous water bodies across Ontario, including Lake of the Woods, Lake Nipigon, and Lake Superior. Nipissing First Nation is holding information sessions to help citizens develop a community position on the proposal.[2]
- May 2016: Critics at a North Bay town hall expressed concerns that the project would use an unreliable and unsafe existing line. A report presented in May 2016 argued that the project threatens the watersheds of North Bay. The pipeline's leak-detection system was criticized for being unable to detect smaller leaks below a certain flow rate.[1]
