Woodfibre LNG's floating work camp is being reconsidered by council on June 4, 2024. Can you join us?

FortisBC is proposing to drill a 14-foot wide, 9-kilometre tunnel under the Squamish estuary, and discharge toxic construction effluent into the Squamish River and Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound.

We did it! District of Squamish denied Woodfibre LNG's proposed floating work camp. In an edge-of-your-seat council meeting last Tuesday, the District of Squamish voted 4-3 to deny Woodfibre LNG’s floating work camp. This is a victory worth celebrating!
