Catholic Work Farm hosting talk on Line 3 pipeline

LAKE CITY — The Lake City Catholic Worker Farm will host a discussion on the proposed Line 3 Pipeline that would be built in northern Minnesota.

Paul Fried, owner of the farm, said the discussion will be from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Dec. 3, with a potluck to follow.

Two Native American members of Camp Makwa, protest site near the Fond Du Lac Reservation west of Duluth, will speak about the pipeline and their perspective on how it would damage the land and water.

"We do not know much about this issue, so we feel that is important to listen to our native brothers and sisters when they speak on issues of land use and the environment," Fried said.

Canadian petroleum company Enbridge Inc. has said the $2 billion Line 3 project is needed to replace existing pipelines from the 1960s. Line 3 would supply oil to the Pine Bend refinery located in Rosemount.

Currently, the plan is to hold the discussion at the farm, Fried said, but if there is enough interest, a larger venue in Lake City might be found. You can RSVP to the event at lakecitycw@gmail.com or call 651-345-3149.
