Public & Indigenous Consultation

Through our actions, we strive to develop respectful, positive, and long-lasting relationships with First Nations and local communities, in order to develop shared understanding and mutual benefit.

Consultation for this Project has been guided by our commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for input and by the requirements of provincial and federal regulatory authorities. These obligations shaped the development of our Public Consultation and Indigenous Consultation plans.

• We began our public consultation in 2018. 
• First Nations representatives will be involved in each stage of the planning, construction, operation and decommissioning of this Project.
• In accordance with regulatory order (Section 11 Order), we are consulting six Indigenous Nations: Gitga’at First Nation, Gitxaała Nation, Kitselas First Nation, Kitsumkalum First Nation, Lax Kw’alaams Band and Metlakatla First Nation. 
• We formed a Working Group involving representatives of Indigenous Nations, federal, provincial and local government agencies, was established for the Project.
