The Wildrose Party is optimistic following the Federal Government's approval of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline and Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline on November 29.

Airdrie MLA Angela Pitt says Airdronians have reason for excitement following the pipeline announcement.

"Certainly the people of Airdrie are thrilled about this announcement," said Pitt, "A lot of the people in Airdrie are very much connected to the energy sector, and I think will benefit in many ways when these projects get off the ground."

Despite their optimism, Pitt says the Wildrose will be watching closely to ensure the projects actually take off.

"Overall we're happy for the pipelines, and we're going to hold them to account so that we can actually see some shovels in the ground and some Albertans getting back to work."
