New LNG export facilities mean thousands of jobs, millions in government tax revenue, and an opportunity for Canada to help the world decarbonize \u2014 all the while advancing economic reconciliation with First Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last few years, LNG Canada and Coastal GasLink have almost single-handedly saved the BC economy, certainly in the skilled trades and in the north. Those two projects, in addition to the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project and the Site C hydroelectric dam, make up a whopping 95% of construction jobs<\/a> in BC and $100 billion<\/em> in capital investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, as they are almost complete, Cedar LNG and Ksi Lisims LNG are coming onto the scene, two Indigenous-owned and led LNG (liquefied natural gas) export projects that will create prosperity for their people and clean energy for Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Cedar LNG, proposed by the Haisla Nation, received its <\/a>environmental certificates<\/a> to proceed from the BC and federal governments, a decision widely welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Ksi Lisims, advanced by the Nisga’a Lisims Government<\/a>, Rockies LNG Partners<\/a> and Western LNG LLC<\/a> hit a major milestone this week by also submitting its application to the BC government for an Environmental Assessment Certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ksi Lisims LNG will be one of the most significant Indigenous-supported industrial developments in Canadian history,” the project said in a statement. “The project is an example of economic reconciliation in action<\/a>: co-developed with the Nisga\u2019a Nation and hosted on land owned in fee-simple by the Nisga\u2019a Lisims Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Once operational, Ksi Lisims LNG will produce 12 million tonnes of LNG per year. It is expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, and provide substantial financial benefits to the Nisga\u2019a Nation, and to Indigenous nations across BC\u2019s northwest.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
