LNG Canada is building a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Kitimat, B.C., on the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation. The project represents the largest energy investment in Canadian history, and will deliver substantial economic benefits to Indigenous communities, businesses, the province and the country. Once complete, the facility will deliver the lowest carbon intensive LNG in the world, helping to address global climate change and offering a competitive advantage for both LNG Canada and B.C., as we enter a global market that is increasingly looking to LNG for lower carbon energy.Join the team members from LNG Canada and their prime contractor, JGC Fluor JV, to learn more about the Project and participate in a short ‘Engineering Feat’ hosted by the construction team from their site in Kitimat.
