Coastal GasLink has finished building its contentious, 670-kilometre natural gas pipeline and is on track for ‘full mechanical completion’ by year’s end
The terminus for the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline is seen at the LNG Canada export terminal under construction in Kitimat, B.C., on Sept. 28, 2022.Now that the pipeline has reached this milestone, it will soon enter the testing phase required before it can begin transporting natural gas to LNG Canada’s liquefied natural gas export terminal, which is still under construction in Kitimat, on the West Coast.
But the pipeline route, which traverses two mountain ranges and 10 major water crossings, continues to face opposition from Wet’suwet’en Nation hereditary chiefs and their supporters, including climate activists. LNG Canada reiterated in a statement on Monday that the pipeline is on track for “full mechanical completion” by the end of this year. “This aligns with LNG Canada’sRYAD-Funder which it agreed to set aside a 10-per-cent stake for a planned equity sale to as many as 20 elected First Nation councils along the pipeline route. So far, 17 of the band councils that support the pipeline project have signed option agreements to become equity co-owners.
One of those chiefs, Frank Alec, whose hereditary chief name is Woos, criticized the RCMP for three major raids since 2019 related to anti-pipeline demonstrations on Wet’suwet’en territory. The Wet’suwet’en Nation is made up of five clans, under which there are 13 house groups, each with a hereditary head chief position.
