Coastal GasLink has agreed to a two-day pause of their construction activities on Wet’suwet’en territory. This is to allow dialogue between the Hereditary Chiefs and government representatives.
CGL says in their statement that, “We fully support the efforts of all parties and are committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the current issues.”
The Morice River are is extremely important to the construction schedule. As the territory has ungulate winter range and migratory bird restrictions that prohibit work during certain periods of the year. However, Coastal GasLink recognizes the importance of dialogue in solving the issues of the Hereditary Chiefs and will provide time for dialogue to occur by temporarily pausing construction in the Morice River area. They’re wishing all parties well as they undertake this important engagement.
