Green light for LNG from First Nation

The Huu-ay-aht First Nations has approved Steelhead LNG’s proposed LNG export facility on their traditional territory near Bamfield.

70 percent of First Nations people who voted supported the 30 billion dollar project which is still a long way from reality.

The Chief of the First Nation says it could be a financial game changer for the Nation of 750 people, located on the west side of Vancouver Island.
