Boycott!
We're organizing a mass boycott to bring attention to the broken environmental assessment process for Woodfibre LNG's second floating workcamp. It takes two minutes to send a letter.
DEADLINE AUGUST 02, 2025
TAKE ACTION NOW!*******
After operating without a municipal permit for over a year, Woodfibre LNG has applied for a second floating workcamp (aka "floatel") to house another 650 workers and accelerate construction.
We have lost trust in the integrity of the environmental assessment process, as government staff reponsible for approving Woodfibre LNG are now working for the project.
Woodfibre LNG is a megaproject in disguise. The scope of this project keeps growing, and the cumulative impacts have never been properly assessed. Our communities are on the frontlines and we're already experiencing the impacts of this foreign-owned fossil fuel export project.
The approval of a second floating workcamp intended to accelerate construction of a new fossil fuel export facility is contrary to last week's International Court of Justice ruling that:
“Failure of the state to take appropriate action to protect the climate system from GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions including through fossil fuel production, fossil fuel consumption, the granting of fossil fuel exploration licenses, or the provision of fossil fuel subsidies may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is attributable to that state.”
Given the ongoing provincial government support for LNG export projects, it's clear that this environmental assessment process will be yet another a rubber stamp.
TAKE ACTION! We're organizing a mass boycott of the provincial process. It takes two minutes to send a letter.
TAKE ACTION NOW!*******
Woodfibre LNG promises to "bring economic benefits to Squamish, British Columbia, and Canada" but is suing the District of Squamish over paying $1.5 million dollars in taxes during construction.
After operating its first floating workcamp for over a year without a municipal permit, I am worried that this lawsuit has been used to strong-arm the District of Squamish into approving the Temporary Use Permit for both floating workcamps.
Please take a moment to boycott.
This is a fight worth fighting.
