Dec 18 (Reuters) – Here are some key dates in Enbridge Inc’s bid to build a 525,000 barrel per day pipeline from the Alberta oil sands hub of Edmonton to Kitimat, British Columbia, on Canada’s Pacific Coast.

Canada’s National Energy Board will release its decision on whether to approve the pipeline after financial markets close on Thursday.
March 6, 2002 – Enbridge says it is sketching out plans for a pipeline from northeastern Alberta to Canada’s West Coast.
