Premier Christy Clark was in Squamish this morning to announce Woodfibre LNG has the funds necessary to go ahead.
“We’re delighted to say today that LNG in British Columbia is finally becoming a reality,” Clark said. “Today’s decision is an important one for this community, the workers on this site and the people of this province.” It's a $1.6 billion investment decision.
“This project is a go,” said Byng Giraud, Woodfibre LNG's vice-president of corporate affairs.
Clark, along with Natural Gas Minister Rich Coleman, made the announcement at the Woodfibre site.
