TransCanada is committed to engaging with communities. Along the proposed corridor of the Energy East Pipeline, we’ll be sharing information, encouraging dialogue and working to maintain and earn the trust of local residents.

For more than 60 years, we’ve valued collaboration and corporate responsibility. Questions? Let’s talk.

Here are some of the ways that we’ll be engaging with local communities:

Open houses
Meetings
Personal visits
Phone calls
Emails
Brochures and information packages
Notices and in local newspapers
Newsletters
Social media

TransCanada announced on November 5, 2015 that it would amend the Energy East application currently before the National Energy Board to remove a port in Quebec from the scope of the project. The application will now focus on connections to three refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick, and to marine terminal in New Brunswick.

Energy East is a 4,500-kilometre pipeline that will transport approximately 1.1 million barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta and Saskatchewan to the refineries of Eastern Canada and a marine terminal in New Brunswick. There is an important choice before us all. That choice is about where we get the oil we need and how we choose to transport it. Energy East makes sense and this is why the majority of Canadians support the project.
