Who Are the Bipole III Coalition
To promote the preferred east-side route for Manitoba Hydro’s Bipole III transmission line, a group known as the Bipole III Coalition has been formed to raise public awareness of the issue and hopefully lead to a return to the route originally proposed by Hydro on the east-side of Lake Winnipeg. The present NDP government has instructed Manitoba Hydro to build the Bipole III transmission line down the west-side of the province. There will be substantial additional costs associated with a west-side route versus the shorter, more reliable, safer, and more environmentally friendly east-side route. An east-side route would also impact a smaller number of landowners and existing infrastructure as would bring economic opportunities to east-side communities.
The Bipole III Coalition currently includes in its membership from: retired Manitoba professional engineers, landowners, the Canadian Aerial Applicators Association, the Manitoba Aerial Applicators Association, the Manitoba Chapter of Canadian Society for Senior Engineers, retired Hydro executives and employees, and a growing number of concerned tax payers and citizens of Manitoba.

The Bipole III Coalition Mission Statement:
“The Bipole III Coalition is a grass-roots organization of concerned citizens that aims to promote increased public awareness among Manitobans that a route for the Bipole III transmission line on the east side of Lake Winnipeg is superior to the one on the west side of the province. The east-side route is superior because of greater economic, social and technical benefits for all Manitobans and reduced global environmental impact. More broadly, the Coalition aims to promote awareness of how the chosen route for Bipole III will impact on, or will be impacted by, Manitoba Hydro's legislated obligation to engage in and promote economy and efficiency in the development, generation, transmission, distribution, supply, and end use of power. The Coalition is not affiliated with any political party”
