The Trans Mountain pipeline in British Columbia resumed operation on Sunday after an oil spill occurred over the weekend.
Workers from the state-owned pipeline responded to the spill at the Sumas Pump Station in Abbotsford, B.C., after an alarm went off at the pipeline control center early Saturday, the company said in a release posted on its website. The pipeline was restarted at about 2 p.m. local time on Sunday.
