Storytelling connects us, helps us make sense of the world, and reinforces our commonly held values and beliefs. We are at a critical time in protecting the waters and natural resources from the risks associated with Enbridge Line 5. It is time to tell your stories, the stories honoring the experience of either life within, or your visits to, the watershed.

The League of Women Voters is supporting the efforts of LWV of Ashland Bayfield Counties to prevent the expansion of Line 5 and protect the natural resources of the Bad River Watershed and Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world.

We urge League members to testify at the Zoom meeting and/or submit written comments as individuals expressing your concerns about the proposed expansion of Line 5.

You are invited to attend the Ashland County Board Meeting on Thursday, January 30 at 9 am in the Courthouse. Anne Chartier will be reading the attached Resolution opposing Enbridge Line 5 our Board passed and we shared with you at the end of last year. Other board members will be speaking to concerns related to its proposed rerouting. A significant community presence at the meeting will demonstrate the apprehension so many of us have regarding the consequences of having the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline go through our watershed.
