Globe says FortisBC in JV with Tsawwassen First Nation

2015-11-17 06:09 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Nov. 17, edition that the Tsawwassen First Nation is considering building a terminal south of Vancouver to export liquefied natural gas, putting the concept to a membership vote in December. The Globe's Brent Jang writes that FortisBC LNG Development and the native group have formed a joint venture to explore the proposal for constructing an LNG terminal on Tsawwassen land designated for industrial use, Tsawwassen Chief Bryce Williams said. He said he has not personally made up his mind, and will be asking nearly 300 Tsawwassen First Nation members to vote on whether to support the concept. Mr. Williams said: "I'm kind of neutral on this. I'm still on the fence, you could say. I haven't really taken a stance, and I want to educate the members and see which direction they're leaning toward. Whatever they decide, I will support. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks." The proposal calls for five to six tankers a month to load up with LNG at a Roberts Bank marine site, which would be connected by pipeline to the planned export terminal. Tsawwassen members are scheduled to vote on the plan on Dec. 16.
