Robyn Allan: Canadian for the Great Bear

“My name is Robyn Allan. I am an economist and a Canadian for the Great Bear.  The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Project is not in the economic, environmental, cultural or social interests of Canada and I am asking all Canadians who support sustainable development and responsible environmental protection to stand with me in protecting the Great Bear.”

Named by the Financial Post as one of Canada’s top 200 CEOs, economist Robyn Allan has held key leadership positions in British Columbia’s public and private sector. They include: president and CEO of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia; executive director of the Vancity Community Foundation; and senior economist for the B.C. Central Credit Union. As a consulting economist, Robyn has provided strategic business management and public policy advice to senior private sector and government personnel on investment, corporate restructuring, international trade and business development.

Robyn wrote the report “An Economic Assessment of Northern Gateway,” submitted as evidence to the National Energy Board. And she is standing up today for the Great Bear region of British Columbia because she believes this is no place for oil pipelines and tankers. Join Robyn and Canadians across the country.
