Say NO to overhead double circuit 500 kV transmission lines along any proposed route

Bury the Line, Not Our Children

Coalition of West End Communities for Burying the Line (R.E.T.A. West)

What is R.E.T.A.


R.E.T.A. stands for Responsible Electricity Transmission for Albertans.

R.E.T.A.'s mission is to ensure that no new high voltage transmission lines are run above ground by homes and schools.  If new transmission lines are to be run by schools and houses, they must be buried.

In the event that a decision is made to run new transmission lines above ground near homes, homeowners and landowners must have the option to sell their property to the utility company or government at a price equivalent to replacement value.

R.E.T.A. is not a NIMBY ("not in my back yard") organization and our members are committed to the above principles regardless of where new transmission lines are proposed.

We believe it is a combination of valid arguments supported by real facts and, above all unity that will win the day.  United we stand; divided we fall.

We encourage you to join RETA. Go to R.E.T.A. for additional facts and references.
