What is happening?
Woodfibre LNG has applied for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) for a floating workcamp to house up to 650 workers. After deferring the decision at the public hearing, the District of Squamish will be making a decision on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
Can you come out for a mini-demonstration to let council know they have our support to reject the floatel?
This is a critical moment in the fight to stop Woodfibre LNG. Can you join us?
Itinerary
5:30pm | Gather for a mini-demonstration outside Squamish Municipal Hall
5:45pm | We will take photos and videos
6:00pm till late | Optional! Stay to attend the council meeting and hold a sign inside council chambers. The TUP decision is near the end of the agenda, so it could be quite late.
What can council do now?
Council deferred making a decision until April 30, 2024. There's a few different ways we'd like this vote to go:
- Reject the Temporary Use Permit.
- Refer the Temporary Use Permit back to staff until the missing reports are provided, assessments are completed, and information is shared with the public to allow for meaningful public review.
- Approve the Temporary Use Permit with conditions that hold Woodfibre LNG accountable.
This is a difficult decision, but the District of Squamish is under no obligation to approve the Temporary Use Permit for Woodfibre LNG's floatel.
Provincial and Federal regulators have failed us. That puts a big burden on Mayor and Council to step up and hold Woodfibre LNG accountable.
