THOUSANDS OF JOBS IN LNG CONSTRUCTION IN BC

Thousands of workers have flocked to the northern British Columbia community of Kitimat where LNG Canada ramps up its construction with the eventual goal of exporting natural gas by the middle of the decade.

LNG Canada Chief Executive Jason Klein called the period an “exciting time” for workers and residents.
“It’s an exciting time to be here,” said Klein.

About 70% of the project has been completed since it began construction in 2018. At its height, the pipeline will require up to 7,500 rotating workers – nearly matching Kitimat’s population of 8,500.
