Eagle Spirit Energy - A First Nation Oil Refinery and Pipeline Initiative
The following links offer an interesting narrative and varying opinions of the First Nations regarding the pipeline and refinery proposal. Eagle Spirit Energy is an aboriginal-owned consortium fronted by native leader Calvin Helin and underwritten by the Aquilini Group (owners of the Vancouver Canucks) that proposes a much different approach.
Victor Bryant comments: "An open and lively discussion as evidenced in these stories benefits all stakeholders in the process. Whatever the outcome, Highbank and its directors wholeheartedly support the First Nations peoples and their leaders to make the correct decision going forward." "An open debate is absolutely essential for an initiative of this magnitude…not only for the First Nations, but for all who live in Canada."
