The 13 protesters arrested in late June after an occupation of Enbridge's rural Hamilton pumping station will appear in court Wednesday afternoon, and are staging another protest just before their appearances.
The arrested protesters and supporters are marching from the MacNab bus terminal to the John Sopinka court house before their afternoon apperances.
The arrests ended a six-day occupation at the Westover Pumping Station on June 26. That's the mid-point of Enbridge pipeline 9. The oil giant has applied to reverse the oil flow of line 9B to send more domestic product east from western Canada.
The National Energy Board (NEB) already approved the flow reversal for the first part of the pipeline, which runs from Sarnia to Westover. The reversal of line 9B has yet to be approved. The NEB has scheduled hearings later this month.
Line 9 crosses several major rivers that drain into Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, as well as Spencer Creek, Hamilton's largest watershed.
Opponents say the pipeline will carry diluted bitumen from Alberta's oil sands, which is heavier and puts the line at greater risk of a rupture.
