Trans Mountain Says Pipeline Near Jasper, Alberta, Continues to Operate Safely

“We continue to work with the Town of Jasper and Jasper National Park to safely monitor the pipeline,” the operator said.

The 890,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) oil pipeline, which runs from Edmonton to Vancouver, passes close to the town of Jasper, Alberta.

Around 25,000 people were forced to evacuate the tourist town on Tuesday, due to one of the hundreds of fires spreading across Alberta and British Columbia.29dk2902l
