“For far too long, we were ignored in resource development, even on our own land.'
Three Indigenous leaders will be promoting plans to export liquefied natural gas from British Columbia, striving for economic growth as they work to address climate concerns when building new energy projects.
Their gathering will take place ahead of opening ceremonies that will include land acknowledgements signifying the four-day LNG conference is being held on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Shell PLC-led LNG Canada would become the country’s first export terminal for the fuel when Phase 1 opens in 2025. The project is 85 per cent completed in Kitimat.
LNG Canada’s initial capacity has been set at 14 million tonnes a year of exports to Asia, compared with Ksi Lisims’ 12 million tonnes a year. The contentious Coastal GasLink pipeline being built by TC Energy Corp. would transport natural gas from northeast B.C. to Kitimat. The 670-kilometre route is 90 per cent completed.
