The Malahat First Nation’s newly acquired land in Bamberton could be home for a new LNG facility.
There’s been speculation about an LNG project almost from the time the purchase was announced, and then on Thursday morning, Malahat and Vancouver-based Steelhead LNG confirmed an agreement and long-term lease for a proposed facility eight kilometres south of Mill Bay.
Malahat CEO Lawrence Lewis says environmental safety is something all parties involved take very seriously.
Steelhead is already working with another First Nation on a potential LNG facility southwest of Port Alberni.
