Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako continues to raise LNG pipeline concerns

First Nations and communities along the Skeena were not consulted with Petronas' LNG plant proposed for Lelu Island. The impacts of this project would be far-reaching and long lasting. Sign the declaration today to help protect Skeena salmon.

Although many proponents are committed to hiring locally, government and industry have recognized the need for temporary workers to fill skilled labour shortages.

Waste pits attract nearby wildlife that ingest the chemicals. As a result of these toxins, hunters are finding game with tumours, abscesses, and foul smells.

There's more than 12 LNG projects proposed for Northern BC, which is leaving community members confused and overwhelmed.

LNG carriers arriving and departing from the LNG facilities would force local waterways to close to marine traffic, sometimes for hours at a time. For communities reliant on marine waters for fishing and recreation, limited access is a real concern.

In 1973, a superport was proposed for the Skeena Estuary and rejected due to a study that concluded, “The construction of a superport at the Kitson Island - Flora Bank site would destroy the salmon habitat."

Proposals for LNG development in BC will dramatically increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making the province’s climate action goals impossible to meet.
