Alberta’s government says it will make a “major announcement” later this week about its plans for a new West Coast oil pipeline. Sam Blackett, press secretary to Premier Danielle Smith, says the province is preparing to share new details on Thursday, including information related to Alberta’s submission to the federal Major Projects Office. The announcement is expected to address what Alberta has submitted and to provide additional specifics about the proposed pipeline, according to the reporting. Other coverage from a separate outlet aligns with the timing and the general purpose of the announcement, indicating that Alberta’s next update is tied to the federal review process. The province’s statement does not provide further details in the excerpts provided, but it frames the forthcoming announcement as significant and focused on new information connected to its federal filing and the pipeline proposal.
