Press Release

November 16, 2015

Surrey, B.C. – Today, the Tsawwassen First Nation announced it has initiated a consultation with its members regarding a proposed concept for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility on Tsawwassen Lands. The concept was developed by a joint venture that includes FortisBC LNG Development Inc.

FortisBC values the opportunity to explore this concept with the Tsawwassen First Nation. If the concept proceeds, the Nation will be involved in all stages of development as we work with regulatory and permitting agencies to ensure the facility adheres to the highest environmental values and safety standards.

FortisBC looks forward to receiving the results of the member vote once available.
