Pushing back against Canada’s Genocide of Indigenous First Nations⚠️⛔️⚠️ Globe & Mail - Brent Jang: Haisla Indigenous First Nation & Pembina Pipeline forge ahead with Indigenous-led Cedar LNG project in northern British Columbia. An Indigenous-led project to export liquefied natural gas has been approved by its proponents, who are touting the B.C. energy development as a prime example of economic reconciliation. The Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corp. PPL-T said on Tuesday that they have made a final investment decision to forge ahead with their US$3.4-billion Cedar LNG project. The Haisla have a 50.1-per-cent stake in the joint venture while Calgary-based Pembina owns 49.9%. Cedar’s floating production facility will be located on the Haisla’s traditional territory in Kitimat, B.C. “We’re tired of managing poverty. It’s time that we now manage prosperity,” Haisla chief councillor Crystal Smith said in an interview from the main reserve of Kitamaat Village, located about a 15-minute drive south of Kitimat. Ms. Smith said having financial stability will mean that a new program to teach the Haisla’s culture and preserve their language will be sustained and have long-lasting effects. “Growing up, we never had the opportunity to fully learn our language,” she said. Nearly 93% of Haisla members who participated in a ratification vote last month on Cedar supported plans by the elected band council to borrow money for the development, construction and co-ownership of the LNG venture. “They supported our nation’s desire to move forward in terms of economic development, economic reconciliation,” Ms. Smith said. About 800 of the more than 2,000 Haisla members in British Columbia live in Kitamaat Village, the seat of government of the Haisla. Cedar awarded a contract in early 2024 for engineering, procurement and construction in South Korea of a floating production unit to Samsung Heavy Industries and Black & Veatch. Construction activities in Kitimat will create about 500 jobs at Cedar, which will require nearly 100 full-time workers for operations. “Through our partnership with the Haisla Nation, I believe we are redefining how Indigenous communities and the energy industry can work together to bring Canadian energy to the world,” said Pembina chief executive officer Scott Burrows. https://lnkd.in/gmhjcdri
