Jan 24, 2022
‘Once Canada has decided they’re willing to sell this pipeline, then at that time we’ll be negotiating to purchase.’
A new First Nations non-profit organization is seeking an ownership stake in the Trans Mountain pipeline, saying its aim is to make sure communities along the pipeline’s route receive its benefits directly.
Nesika Services publicly launched Monday, calling itself a grassroots, community-led not-for-profit.
Chief Tony Alexis of the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation in Alberta (and the chair and founding director of Nesika) said 14 Indigenous communities along the pipeline’s route in Alberta and B.C. have already signed on.
