Pipeline project backed by Nisga’a Nation seeks to win over other Indigenous groups – Globe and Mail
A contentious pipeline project backed by the Nisga’a Nation is seeking to win over other Indigenous groups while a new study warns of economic challenges ahead for exporting liquefied natural gas from British Columbia.
Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT), co-owned 50-50 by the Nisga’a Nation and Houston-based Western LNG, received approval from B.C.’s environmental regulator last week for further construction of the pipeline that would transport natural gas across Northern B.C.
The B.C. Environmental Assessment Office ruled that PRGT has been substantially started, clearing the way for the project to proceed and extending an environmental assessment certificate that dates back to 2014.
