Line 5 has already spilled over a million gallons of oil since it started operating in 1953. Our Great Lakes are in danger every second it continues to operate. This is why Governor Whitmer ordered the shutdown of Line 5 in 2021.
Instead of complying with Governor Whitmer’s shut down order, the Canadian company, Enbirdge, that runs Line 5 wants to keep their oil flowing by building a tunnel under the Great Lakes. They need a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to keep sending millions of gallons of oil through the heart of our Great Lakes.
Join The Sierra Club Foundation Canada on Sept. 1st for a virtual public hearing and tell the Army Corps of Engineers that the shut down order must be enforced; that there must be no oil tunnel.
The Sierra Club Michigan have been fighting Line 5 for years and won a shut down order as a result. Canadians are invited to help them enforce it and stop the tunnel. They need hundreds of people to join the virtual hearing on Sept. 1st and it is vital that Canadians stand up to this project too.
You can also send in a written response to the Army Corps of Engineers here.

Since 2019, New Brunswick has begun the largest increase in land protection in the province’s
history, promising to protect 10% of New Brunswick’s public land.
This month the government of New Brunswick announced almost 100,000 ha of new protected
areas. This is another step towards reaching their 10% goal. CPAWS NB is continuing to
encourage the government to fulfill their promise and prioritize both nature protection, and a
commitment to collaboration with Indigenous Nations to set out a path for future conservation
action.
Click here to send a letter to thank the government for taking this step and encourage them to
keep the momentum going!

You can make a difference now. Join and take action in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate change by protecting Canada’s natural spaces.
Canada has committed to protect at least 30% of its land and ocean by 2030, with a milestone goal of protecting 25% by 2025. Seeing these protection commitments through, and connecting protected areas, will benefit wildlife and people and make natural spaces and communities more resilient to climate change.
Supporting Indigenous-led conservation is vital for achieving these goals and contributing to reconciliation in Canada.
We can’t wait. We know what is at stake – and we have a path forward. We’re inviting you to join the movement and urge all governments to take action for the future you want.
