ASKED TO ALLOW ARCHAEOLOGISTS AND LOCAL FIRST NATIONS ACTIVISTS ONTO YOUR LAND? JUST SAY NO.
Things to consider Y our land was expropriated, or you signed an easement agreement — either way, the pipeline company took all the rights it needed for its project. W hy then are companies now asking for your permission to let additional archaeologists and Indigenous community representatives onto your land? W hy would the companies be making the request and not the archaeologists and others themselves? D idn’t the company already complete any archaeological investigation that was required under government regulation? W hat are the archaeologists and others going to do on your land? W hat happens if they find something? W hat are the consequences for your property, its use and its value? W hat happens if they "plant" something on your land?

W hat’s the real agenda? There are way too many unanswered questions. Just say thanks, but no thanks.
