, Ottawa Community News, August 7, 2014 Mike Fletcher of Munster, a volunteer
with Ecology Ottawa, an Ottawa-area environmental group, has been going
door-to-door in Stittsville in recent weeks, trying to increase awareness of the
proposed Energy East oil pipeline that would pass by just to the west of
Stittsville. He laid out his own concerns about the proposed project at a public
information session held by Ecology Ottawa in the upstairs hall at the Johnny
Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville on Tuesday evening, July 29.
These concerns include environmental destruction from oil extraction of the tar
sands; climate change from oil sands activity; and the danger and possibility of
a pipeline spill. via
