Greg’s topic is “Where are we at now on the Enbridge Line 5 oil pipeline?” 

The Enbridge Line 5 oil pipeline through Michigan and the Straits of Mackinac is a controversial issue. It is also an ever-changing one. There have been a lot of recent developments that will play a big part in the future of Line 5.
We are aware of some of the environmental risks, but how about the financial aspects of this proposal along with the current litigation issues? Let me bring you up to speed on some of the recent actions and studies.

MDOT Highway Pickups

The MDOT road clean-up has been a legacy mission for PICMC since the club started in the 1990’s. Three times a year usually April, July and Sept. PICMC members and friends pick-up road trash along a three mile stretch of US 23, a mile on Grand Lk Rd and Co Rd 638. This road clean-up is administered by the state as the white trash bags can be seen up and down our highways.

MDOT highway pick-up dates for the Mens Club for 2025  are  coming…

All dates start at 9:00am at the chapel parking lot.
