An indigenous group in the Canadian Pacific province of British Columbia says it has ordered workers to leave the site of TC Energy Corp's Coastal GasLink pipeline, the latest step in a protracted dispute.
Supporters of the indigenous Wet'suwet'en Nation march as part of a protest against British Columbia's Coastal GasLink pipeline, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada February 17, 2020.
Trees were felled, and project vehicles and equipment have been vandalized in the area, Coastal said. No one at the Gidimt'en or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was immediately available to comment on Monday. All of the elected indigenous band councils along Coastal GasLink's route support the project. But Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs oppose it and say they, not the community's elected officials, hold authority over traditional lands.
