We have heard through years of engagement an overwhelming preference for the Lodge proposal as the best way to mitigate workforce impacts in Squamish. This plan was approved by Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) and the BC Environmental Assessment Office in 2023, based on a comprehensive set of conditions. We are grateful for the input we received from Indigenous Nations, local organizations, and community members who invested their time and expertise into shaping our proposal.Construction is continuing on the EGP project and our construction timeline will not be impacted by this decision. We will move forward with alternate plans for our worker accommodations, which includes utilizing local accommodations, with some workers commuting from out of town during peak periods of construction. We remain committed to working with the community to reduce impacts as best we can.We are currently reviewing the District of Squamish’s conditions with respect to the Temporary Laydown Yard.
