Some Mi kmaq say the plan to build a liquified natural gas plant in rural Nova Scotia which would require a 5,000-person workcamp poses an unacceptable risk to women s safety and should be stopped.
Ducie Howe is among them.
The Mi kmaw activist and water protector from Sipekne katik First Nation said she does not support the proposed $13-billion Goldboro LNG plant on Nova Scotia s eastern shore, and she wants Mi kmaw chiefs to withdraw from a deal to service the workcamp.
