The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that at a construction site larger than 600 city blocks, more than 1,000 workers have started building a liquefied natural gas plant and export terminal. The Globe's Brent Jang writes that on one chilly day recently, nearly 90 road graders, dump trucks and other pieces of heavy equipment were buzzing around, clearing and preparing a flat stretch of waterfront land in the community of Kitimat, on the Haisla Nation's traditional territory. Scheduled to open in 2025, the $18-billion project is being built by LNG Canada, a foreign-owned consortium led by Royal Dutch Shell PLC, and it has emerged as a beacon of hope for Canada's beleaguered energy sector. The giant facility will convert natural gas transported from the province's northeast on the new 670-kilometre, $6.6-billion Coastal GasLink pipeline, being built by TC Energy. Atco and Bird Construction are assembling the camp from long, trailer-like modules of rooms and other building components that have been arriving by truck. At the peak of construction, the LNG Canada project will require up to 7,500 workers. That LNG Canada is under way at all marks a huge breakthrough for Canada's energy industry.
