The fight against climate change continues on the Lower Mainland, the latest event in east Vancouver.
The Wilderness Committee has hosted another town hall to talk about Kinder Morgan's plan to expand its Trans Mountain Pipeline which runs from Alberta to Burnaby.
Spokesman Joe Foy says the group has hosted several meetings across the region, but each neighbourhood has its own worries, "All of Vancouver looks out at Burrard Inlet, so that means we're in oil spill country. People love the ocean, love living here, and we expect that's going to be a big concern."
Kinder Morgan announced last month it is expanding capacity, so that the pipeline, if approved, would ship nearly 900-thousand barrels a day.
