Trans Mountain Pipeline Needed for Community Investments

Trans Mountain and the

City of Surrey announced a Community Benefit Agreement that will see a $500,000 investment from Trans Mountain towards enhancing the local trail network in the Fraser Heights area of Surrey.

Pipeline construction in

Surrey will include the installation of 11.5 kilometres of pipeline routed along the South Fraser Perimeter Road and across the Fraser River into Coquitlam. Preparation work is anticipated to commence later this fall on the Surrey side of the Fraser River. This agreement is part of Trans Mountain’s commitment to ensure the Expansion Project benefits as many people as possible. The Community Benefit

Agreements program is in addition to local economic activity generated by construction, compensation to landowners and taxes paid to local governments, and is designed to support local initiatives for the benefit of the entire community.
