Bayfield County Board Meeting - Say no to cooperation between Enbridge and the Sherriff Deparment
2026-04-28 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago)
Cooperative Agreements with Sherriff Departments
Enbridge is trying to establish Cooperative Agreements with the Sherriff Departments in Ashland, Bayfield, and Iron Counties. Ashland and Iron County both passed agreements in February. There’s an effort in Ashland to have a re-vote. Bayfield County is considering a modified version after voting no in February. There is a conflict of interest with teh Sheriff Departments serving to protect the Bad River Band and then having a cooperative agreement with Enbridge. The priority needs to be serving and building trust within our local communities, not protecting a Canadian company.

City of Ashland selling water to Enbridge
Enbridge has approached the City of Ashalnd Public Works Committee about selling water to Enbridge for the construction of the Line 5 reroute project. On Feb. 11, 2020 the City Council unanimously passed a Resolution “to support the efforts of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to remove the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline from the Bad River Watershed.” To be an ally, our actions must align with our words and selling water to Enbridge goes against the Bad River Bands efforts to remove the pipeline from the watershed.
