The Haisla First Nation on B.C.'s northern coast has been granted a provincial environmental assessment certificate for an LNG facility.
B.C. Environment and Climate Change Strategy Minister George Heyman speaks during an announcement in Delta, B.C., on Monday, June 29, 2020.
The $3.28-billion terminal will be supplied with natural gas from the Coastal GasLink pipeline, which is still under construction. The ministers say they agreed that the Cedar LNG project also supports reconciliation with the Haisla Nation, and that they received letters of support or no opposition from several surrounding First Nations.
