In the year since a high-profile conflict over Indigenous land rights led to RCMP raids on a pipeline construction route and sparked rail blockades across the country, the Coastal GasLink project has pushed ahead, with more than 140 kilometres of pipe now laid in northern B.C.
The $6.6-billion pipeline is designed to carry natural gas, obtained by hydraulic fracturing also known as fracking in northeastern B.C., to a $40-billion LNG terminal on the province s North Coast for export to Asia.
