Today, May 4, the Government of Canada approved the NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) North Corridor System Expansion Project with 37 conditions.
One of these conditions is that NGTL will create 786 hectares of land for caribou habitat – thirty times more habitat than will be impacted by the project. NGTL will be required to establish an Indigenous Working Group for the Red Earth and Chinchaga Caribou Ranges, ensuring Indigenous involvement in the work.
The NGTL North Corridor Expansion Project, a $632 million project, will add 81 kilometres of new pipeline to the existing NOVA Gas Transmission system in three different sections and associated facilities in northwestern Alberta.
