Pipeline to Nowhere: Indigenous-led Resistance to PRGT and Ksi Lisims - Webinar LNG
Pipeline to Nowhere: Indigenous-led Resistance to PRGT and Ksi Lisims LNG
With Gitanyow, Gitxsan and Nisga’a land protectors
Co-presented by Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs and Dogwood
5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. PST on Wednesday, October 23, 2024
The Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project is a new fracked gas pipeline planned for northern B.C. It’s a carbon bomb on the scale of Coastal GasLink, it threatens salmon, lands and waters, and it does not have the consent of communities along the route. Construction began in August, but resistance is mounting. Gitanyow hereditary chiefs have blocked pipeline traffic from their land for the last six weeks. And a new blockade camp is up and running on Gitxsan territory. Three different legal challenges are in the works, and pressure is building on provincial politicians ahead of a major decision in November about the fate of the project.
In this webinar, we’ll share communities’ concerns about the PRGT pipeline, real-time updates from the frontlines, and what the B.C. election results mean for this struggle. You’ll hear from Naxginkw/Tara Marsden, Wilp Sustainability Director for the Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs; Stephen Nyce, a Nisga'a hereditary name holder from Gitwinksihlkw; Taylor Wale, fisheries biologist from the Gitxsan Nation; Kai Nagata from Dogwood, and other special guests.
Join us on October 23 at 5:30 PM PST to get the latest updates from the ground and learn how you can take action in solidarity with frontline communities during this critical time window, wherever you live.
This webinar is co-presented by Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs and Dogwood.
