#SQUAMISH - Tonight!
An Evening with #LandDefenders - Friday, Sept 13
Join an evening with land defenders from #Wetsuweten, #Gitxsan, and other #FirstNations, who will be in Squamish to share their community’s experience with the #CoastalGasLink #pipeline and the #LNG export facility in #Kitimat, B.C., and who are now fighting the proposed #PrinceRupert Gas Transmission line. This is an opportunity for community members to learn about the potential social and #environmental impacts of the #FortisBC #EagleMountain pipeline and #WoodfibreLNG projects in the Squamish region. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation. The event is at the Eagle Eye Theatre in Squamish Friday, Sept 13 at 6:30 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.)

A #BritishColumbia #FirstNation has established a #blockade on its traditional territory to close the access point into the #PrinceRupert Gas Transmission #pipeline #PRGT #ManCamp.
#Gitanyow #HereditaryChiefs decided to blockade the #CranberryConnector, a forest service road that passes over the #CranberryRiver, on Thursday after reports arrived from Gitanyow camps that large trucks and machinery were crossing their traditional territory.
As the blockade was being established, a ceremony was held to burn 10-year-old pipeline benefit agreements over the PRGT. Gitanyow maintains that the agreements are outdated and that “the project route and scope have undergone significant changes since the existing #environmental assessment was conducted in 2014,” a Gitanyow press release said.
The #PRGTpipeline was bought by the #NisgaaNation and their industry partner #WesternLNG from #TCEnergy in March of this year. The proposed pipeline will connect #CoastalGasLink to the #KsiLisims terminal, jointly owned by the Nisga’a and Western LNG.
