TC Energy Corp. is planning to meet with representatives of Indigenous communities to discuss selling them a stake in its western Canadian natural gas pipeline network.
A meeting on the potential deal involving the Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. system will be held on Jan. 15, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named because the information is private.
The gathering will be in Edmonton and 72 communities from provinces including Alberta and British Columbia have been invited to attend, the people said, citing a letter the company sent last month.
“We want to create mutually beneficial partnerships with Indigenous communities. Potential ownership in our projects and assets means that Indigenous communities can share in Canada’s resource economy,” Calgary-based TC said in an emailed statement, without providing more details.
