Coastal GasLink says is not planning to call the police in to enforce a court injunction covering a disputed area of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation. The order gives opponents of the natural gas pipeline project three days to clear the way toward the company's work site.
SMITHERS, B.C. -- Thirty-nine kilometres down a snow covered logging road, four men chop wood and work to erect a canvas wall tent in a pullout area.
They're also eyes on the ground in case the RCMP begin moving into the area to enforce an injunction granted to Coastal GasLink against the pipeline opponents, he said. The RCMP said trees along the Morice West Forest Service Road are a safety hazard because some were partly cut and the wind could cause them to fall without warning.
"This does not indicate a request for enforcement whatsoever. As we have stated, we believe that dialogue is preferable to confrontation while engagement and a negotiated resolution remain possible," she said.The 670-kilometre pipeline is expected to transport natural gas from northeastern British Columbia to LNG Canada's export terminal in Kitimat on the coast.
