FortisBC is "filling the airshed with pollution"
July 25, 2026
Tracey Saxby
Specialized optical gas imaging (OGI) technology reveals that Tilbury LNG—operated by FortisBC—is releasing huge, invisible plumes of toxic chemicals directly into the Metro Vancouver airshed.
These pollutants are harmful to the climate and human health, and people in nearby communities are breathing them in.
"What I'm looking at is just a crazy amount of pollution here... uncontrolled venting..."
--Tim Doty, former Texas regulator, consultant with Oilfield Witness, describing pollution from Tilbury LNG in Vancouver.

TAKE ACTION! Have your say on Tilbury LNG
Tilbury LNG is a small LNG storage facility in Vancouver, and FortisBC has applied to make Tilbury LNG ten times bigger.
LNG expansion in close proximity to urban centres is reckless. Governments in Canada are not monitoring Tilbury LNG adequately, and there are big monitoring gaps that should concern everyone.
We need to hold FortisBC accountable for this harmful air pollution and demand that our governments protect public health.
