Reference: Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc. West Line Reversal from Oakville Station to North Toronto Station Project – Project Information Package
Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc. (Trans-Northern) operates pipelines regulated by the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) to safely transport the refined petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, aviation, and heating fuel) used by Canadian businesses and consumers every day. These pipelines connect refineries in Nanticoke, Ont., and Montreal to Ottawa and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), with lateral pipelines to Pearson International Airport and Pierre-Elliot Trudeau International Airport. We are committed to operating in a safe and environmentally responsible manner to protect the public, the environment, and the pipelines.
Trans-Northern is preparing an application to the CER to reverse the directional flow of its pipeline from its Oakville Station to its North Toronto Station (the Project).
This Information Package has been prepared to support engagement with potentially affected individuals and groups, including Indigenous communities, and to inform you about the planned CER application and proposed pipeline reversal work.
Project Overview
The section of NPS 10 (Nominal Pipe Size with a 10-inch interior diameter) pipeline between Oakville Station (between Burloak Drive and Bronte Road) and North Toronto Station (between The Pond Road and York University Busway) currently flows from east to west, from North Toronto Station to Oakville Station. The proposed line reversal will change the flow to run west to east, from Oakville Station to n Valve replacement will be conducted at the Credit River West facility (between Indian Gove and Mississauga Road) in Mississauga, Ontario, and at the Humber River West facility (near the intersection of Albion Road and Irwin Road) in Etobicoke, Ontario. All planned work will occur on previously disturbed industrial lands, within existing facilities or on Trans-Northern’s existing right-of-way. The work will follow safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements, and is expected to result in little to no land disturbance.
To safely reverse the flow, Trans-Northern will:
• Inspect the inside of the pipeline to check its condition. This work is done entirely inside the pipeline and does not disturb the ground above.
• At Oakville Station, within the existing footprint of the station, add a new pump, new valves, new control valve, and make changes to above-ground pipes.
• At North Toronto Station, within the existing footprint of the station, install a pipeline access point (pig receiver) and modify the connected above-ground piping and instruments so inspection and cleaning tools can be used in the pipeline.
• At both the Credit River West and Humber River West locations, replace existing check valves with shut-off valves (block valves) that allow for improved pipeline safety when the pipeline is shut down for maintenance or unexpected situations.
Based on the inspection results, pipeline maintenance work may be completed. If such repairs are needed, targeted maintenance digs may occur at specific locations and notifications of work will be made to impacted and potentially impacted parties.
A link to a map of the Project can be found in the attachments below.
Timing of CER Filing
The application is expected to be filed with the CER in June 2026.
Proposed Timing and Duration of Related Activities
Project activities are anticipated to take place between Q4 2027 and Q1 2028. We will keep potentially affected individuals or groups, including Indigenous communities, informed if there are any significant changes to the planned schedule.
Construction will commence following receipt of the CER, federal, provincial, and municipal approvals as required. Currently, approvals are expected to be received in 2027.
Notifications will be made to impacted and potentially impacted parties prior to the commencement of work.
The Environment
A project-specific Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is planned for early 2026.
Site Reclamation
Trans-Northern will return any disturbed land to its previous state, as applicable. The project area will be left in a condition that meets landowner requirements and reflects commitments made to other stakeholders.
Corporate Engagement Policy
Trans-Northern is committed to collaborating with Indigenous communities, residents and businesses, regulators, and others in the areas where we operate. We believe that working together and sharing information helps support pipeline safety throughout the lifecycle of the pipeline.
As part of this commitment, Trans-Northern keeps communities informed about relevant health and safety, security, and environmental matters related to the pipeline. Trans-Northern keeps communities informed about relevant health and safety, security, and environmental matters related to the pipeline.
An engagement process is in place to gather input during planning for the West Line Reversal from Oakville Station to the North Toronto Station. This includes engagement with Indigenous communities, landowners, government agencies, and other interested parties.
Engagement with potentially affected individuals and communities is an important part of project planning and is expected by the CER. Feedback received will help inform the final project design and how the project is carried out.
Public and Indigenous engagement also supports the Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment. Outcomes from the assessment will be used to better understand existing environmental and community conditions and to identify appropriate, site-specific protection or mitigation measures for the Project.
Indigenous Peoples
This Project Information Package is being communicated to Indigenous communities based on previous relationships, potential effects on known or asserted traditional territory, and direction received from the CER.
Public Safety
Trans-Northern is committed to operating in a safe and environmentally responsible manner to protect the public, the environment, and the pipelines. Trans-Northern is also committed to keeping Indigenous communities, the local community and all stakeholders informed of relevant safety issues regarding its pipelines, and any proposed changes to these pipelines.
Emergency Response
Trans-Northern has a detailed Emergency Response Plan in place to respond safely and efficiently in the unlikely event of an incident. The Emergency Response Plan is available to the public on its website (Emergency Response Planning – Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc.). In the event of an emergency, Trans-Northern’s emergency line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-800-361-0608.
Conditions and Commitments
Following the filing of the Project with the CER, information including status of conditions and commitments will be updated and posted on the CER website as required. Trans-Northern will share this CER website link when available and will post updates on the Project page on the Trans-Northern website at https://tnpi.ca/west-line-reversal/.
Issue Resolution
Trans-Northern is committed to working with impacted and potentially affected persons and communities to resolve issues and concerns in a proactive manner. If Trans-Northern is unable to resolve a disagreement between parties, it may advise the CER and initiate the Alternate Dispute Resolution Process. Trans-Northern understands and respects that this process can be initiated by anyone involved in a dispute with Trans-Northern over a CER-regulated pipeline. More information is available at: https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/consultation-engagement/land-matters-guide/index.html

Vaughan, ON – With rainy weather expected this weekend, Alectra crews are continuing their line “washing blitz” to help minimize intermittent outages that have been experienced in York Region and parts of Peel Region. We’re working 24/7 to clean salt residue and contamination from power lines to help prevent further outages, but there is a risk of more issues this weekend.
Alectra and other utilities that operate in cold climates can expect to see some outages caused by salt and other contamination every winter. Salt and other de-icing products used on roads during the prolonged stretch of cold and snowy weather that we experienced throughout December, January and February, have made their way onto overhead distribution lines.
“What is unique about this winter is that the levels of salt and contamination on Alectra’s equipment and infrastructure are considerable, and customers are experiencing more outages compared to recent years,” said Jim Butler, Vice-President of Centralized Operations, Alectra Utilities. “The last time that the GTHA experienced something similar was in 2015, which was a winter that was also marked by a prolonged cold snap.”
When temperatures rise and rain hits, as we anticipate this weekend, that contamination can cause electrical arcing, sometimes resulting in pole fires, damaged equipment, or brief outages.
Alectra’s Washing Blitz
The way to prevent outages is to wash the salt contamination off of our infrastructure. Alectra does this as part of its standard maintenance program, however, the challenge this winter has been that washing cannot be undertaken at very cold temperatures. When temperatures warmed up sufficiently last week, Alectra began operating a full washing blitz to physically remove contaminants from overhead power line equipment. Additional crews and support contractors have also been deployed to support washing and restoration efforts to help prevent further outages.
We apologize for the inconvenience and want to assure customers we’re working hard to resolve the situation as quickly and safely as possible. We appreciate customers’ continued patience and understanding as we work through this issue. The safety of our employees, contractors and the community is our top priority.
Customers can get outage updates on the company’s X account, @AlectraNews, or by viewing the outage map at alectrautilities.com.
