The lead developer of the Ksi Lisims liquefied natural gas project planned for the West Coast has announced benefit agreements with three First Nations in northern British Columbia.
Houston-based Western LNG says two of those communities — the Metlakatla First Nation and Lax Kw’alaams Band — have in turn withdrawn their legal challenge to the federal approval of the $10-billion project.
The third agreement is with the Gitxaala Nation.
The benefit agreements cover aspects like economic development opportunities and climate initiatives for the affected communities.
