Indigenous construction monitors on Coastal GasLink ensure transparency with communities during construction – Smithers Interior News
Nov. 28, 2022
We first met Brianna in 2019, when she joined Coastal GasLink’s Construction Monitoring and Community Liaison (CMCL) program. The CMCL program provides a vital link between project construction and Indigenous communities, ensuring that Indigenous values and the environment are protected during construction, and for the life of the project. Through the CMCL program, Indigenous members are selected by their communities to monitor construction and report back to their communities about what they see.
Brianna, a member of Nee Tahi Buhn Band, works alongside more than 45 other CMCL Advisors from the 20 Indigenous communities along the project corridor. Brianna provides daily reports to Nee Tahi Buhn’s leadership about what she’s seen when she’s out monitoring construction.
While the daily report is an important resource, over her three years on the Project she has found that an in-person approach is the best way to keep her community informed.
