Canada: Carrier Sekani to Host BC First Nations LNG Summit

The Carrier Sekani Tribal Council will be hosting the B.C. First Nations LNG Summit for First Nations, provincial, federal and international governments, and proponents of natural gas developments in Prince George, B.C.

The invitation-only two day event is designed to build relationships between First Nations communities, governments and developers to address the many complicated challenges and opportunities associated with these large projects.

A press conference is organized to discuss the LNG Summit and its outcomes; and the opportunities and impacts of LNG development with First Nations, government and developers.

Delegates will include federal and provincial government ministers, First Nations leaders, LNG proponents, as well as Japanese ambassador His Excellency Norihiro Okuda.

This is the first time all governments and industry in the LNG debate have come together in one place to discuss the associated risks and benefits. It is hoped that it will outline if large-scale development of LNG infrastructure in B.C is both realistic and achievable.
