Pair of Open Houses Planned in Northwest this Week as Ksi Lisims LNG Enters Public Consultation Period

A pair of open houses are planned for the Northwest this week as the Ksi Lisims LNG project enters its public comment period.

Planned for Pearse Island, west of Gingolx, the floating facility is expected to produce 12 million tonnes of LNG annually over its 40 year life span.

Proposed by the Nisga’a Nation and partners Western LNG and Rockies LNG, the project entered the environmental assessment process in March.

Members of the public now have until May 30th to provide their input on how that process will be conducted.

A draft plan was released by Environmental Assessment Office last week, and can be viewed at this link.

Comments can also be submitted online via the same link.

An open house is being held at the Best Western in Terrace between 6:00 and 8:00 tomorrow evening, for those looking to learn more.

Residents closer to Prince Rupert can attend a second session at the Crest Hotel during the same time the following day.

A virtual session is also being held at noon next Wednesday, which will be available at this link.
