GP, Dawson Creek mayors provide perspective in Quebec LNG plant environmental review
A proposed LNG processing plant in Quebec recently received further backing from two Peace Country mayors.
Back on Friday, Grande Prairie Mayor Bill Given and Dawson Creek Mayor Dale Bumstead presented to the Quebec Environmental Review Board in regards to the proposed Energie Saguenay project, which would see a $9 billion LNG processing facility be built at the Port of Saguenay in eastern Quebec.
The goal is to export 11 million tonnes of natural gas per year from Western Canada to Saguenay, through a mostly existing pipeline network.
After submitting letters of support for the project back in late 2019, Given says the purpose of the presentation from both Bumstead and himself was to provide some firsthand experience from municipal leaders that live in an area rich with gas development.
