DAWSON TO KITIMAT PIPELINE PROGRESS

   TransCanada has completed benefit agreements with all 20 elected First Nation bands along its Coastal GasLink pipeline route from Dawson Creek to Kitimat.
   The pipeline would feed the Shell-led LNG Canada gas plant should it go ahead, with TransCanada saying it’s ready to build.

   The project does face opposition in north-central B.C. from the Unist’ot’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en people, which have been protesting the construction of all pipelines through its claimed traditional territory for nearly a decade. As part of the Unist’ot’en protest, a camp, including several buildings, has been built in the path of the pipeline.
