THE Tsleil-Waututh Nation is hoping to draw residents from the North Shore to speak against a proposed pipeline expansion on Burrard Inlet at an information meeting this weekend.

The band issued a statement Thursday asking the public to "attend and respectfully voice their concerns" about Kinder Morgan's proposal to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline, a change that would more than double capacity and increase oil tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet.

"Unless the public voices its concerns through this forum, their silence may be deemed consent," said Chief Justin George. The North Vancouver meeting will take place Saturday, Nov. 3, at North Shore Neighborhood House, 225 East Second St. from 4 to 7 p.m.
