Rev. 2 Environmental Protection Plan Trans Mountain Pump Station Expansion Project February 2006 1.0 INTRODUCTION Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. (KMCI), formerly Terasen Pipelines Inc., is operator of Terasen Pipelines (Trans Mountain) Inc. (“Terasen Pipelines”). The Trans Mountain Pump Station Expansion Project (TMPSEP) will increase the capacity of its existing National Energy Board (“NEB”) regulated oil pipeline system (the ʺTrans Mountain pipelineʺ or ʺTrans Mountainʺ). The Project involves: • modifications to 14 existing stations or facilities (Edmonton (KP 0.0), K19 (KP 20), K21 (KP 21), Gainford (KP 99.4), Niton (KP 173.4), Edson (KP 228.7), Jasper (KP 369.5), Albreda (KP 519.1), McMurphy (KP 645.0), Darfield (KP 742.0), Kamloops Petro‐Canada Take‐off (K818) (KP 817.4), Kamloops (KP 822.0), Kingsvale (KP 924.8) and Sumas (KP 1082.0); • construction of six new stations on existing lands owned by Terasen Pipelines (Stony Plain (KP 49.5), Hinton (KP 317.7), Rearguard (KP 476.8), Blackpool (KP 709.9), Hope (KP 1011.8) and Wahleach (KP 1045.9); and • construction of four new pump stations on lands newly acquired by Terasen Pipelines at Chip (KP 147.1), Finn (KP 612.5), Stump (KP 862.7), and Port Kells (KP 1124.3). Ten of the 24 pump stations are located in Alberta and 14 are located in British Columbia (BC) within commercial/industrial, agricultural, or forested settings. Although new stations at Merritt (KP 900.8) and Juliet (KP 949.8) were considered as part of the TMPSEP application to the NEB, these stations have been subsequently removed from TMPSEP. Construction at the pump station sites is scheduled to commence in March 2006, and extend until April 2007 depending on the site and scope of Project activities. A summary of the work to be undertaken at each pump station is provided in Table 1. Clean‐up will be conducted

  • Winter Agent Training Presentation.Pdf
    Our Identity We’re pretty happy being second. Because...while we're the second largest ski area in Canada, it's a little quieter sitting back behind number one. It gives us permission to set our own pace, run our own race, and be a bit more relaxed and laid back. As it turns out, that's what people love about us. We don’t have crowds or a scene. But we do have a life—a mountain life to be exact. It's a way of going about working, playing, raising our families and growing a community in British Columbia's interior mountains. From the outside, our little town may look like a European transplant, but inside, it is 100% Canadian—disarmingly friendly, unwaveringly inclusive and instinctively open-hearted. And despite being a full-service resort, we don't think of ourselves as having a "product". Or an "offering". Or even "amenities", for that matter. We do, however, have real experiences served up by independent business owners and operators who call this place home, and live to share its gifts. And all of this suits us just fine. Because we’re a community of spirited and proud people who do things a little differently. Where others may value accolades, we value—well—values. We believe hard work delivers progress and innovation. We believe we should always deliver on what we say. And we believe that instead of blowing our own horn, we should simply deliver good, old-fashioned hospitality...the kind that we know makes people want to come back to us over and over again.
