TransCanada’s Coastal GasLink adds more project agreements with First Nations

TransCanada’s Coastal GasLink pipeline project has recently signed two additional project agreements with First Nations extending the list to 13 agreements. 

According to the company’s statement, negotiations with additional eight First Nations along the proposed pipeline route are ongoing.

The two latest agreements were signed with Kitselas First Nation and McLeod Lake Indian Band to work on opportunities related to British Columbia’s LNG industry, including developing skills training, employment and utilizing Aboriginal businesses in local contracting opportunities.

Coastal GasLink is proposing to construct and operate a 670-kilometre natural gas pipeline from the Groundbirch area near Dawson Creek, B.C. to the proposed LNG Canada liquefied natural gas export facility near Kitimat, B.C.

The project is the part of TransCanada’s $13 billion proposed natural gas pipeline projects.
