Haisla, Nisga’a sign energy, climate action pact with Halfway River First Nation.
For more than a decade, oil and gas companies developing pipelines and liquefied natural gas projects in British Columbia have been signing impact benefits agreements with the First Nation affected by the projects.
Both the Haisla and Nisga’a are developing their own LNG projects. In Kitimat, the Haisla are developing the Cedar LNG project, in partnership with Pembina Pipeline Corp. . The Nisga’a are behind the Ksi Lisims project near Prince Rupert, in partnership with Rockies LNG Limited Partnership and Western LNG LLC.
The FNCI has been submitted to provincial and federal governments and is intended “to enhance federal and provincial government climate policies and programs while contributing to reconciliation with First Nations through economic self-determination and ensuring that First Nations play a central role in the emerging decarbonized economy.”
