Coastal GasLink surpasses 50 per cent completion milestone

Following years of significant construction milestones, we have now completed more than 50 per cent of the project, as we work towards our target completion date in 2023. This means 100 per cent of the 670-km route is cleared, and grading is more than 60 per cent complete. We’ve also safely installed more than 200 kilometres of pipe, with more being installed every day. Combined with reclamation activities underway in many areas, we are well on our way to delivering our best-in-class natural gas pipeline that meets the strictest environmental and safety standards. Several other critical components of the project have been completed recently, including the Kitimat Meter Station and Murray River Crossing—all while placing safety and environmental protection at the forefront of each activity.

Giving back to our local communities
We’re committed to the wellbeing of the communities where we operate, and believe in supporting local organizations in their work providing important services for community members. Coastal GasLink is proud of our partnership with the United Way, helping them to care for the needs of the most vulnerable including seniors, homeless, those struggling with mental health, addiction and food insecurity. Our Legacy of Giving campaign raised a total of $97,000, from our Coastal GasLink employees, Prime Contractor teams, and the TC Energy Empower matching program. We have also raised $54,000 through bottle drives at our workforce accommodation lodges, which will be donated to organizations across our project route.

Together, we’re building more than just a project. We’re building an extraordinary legacy that will continue to deliver positive benefits to Indigenous and local communities, British Columbia, and the rest of Canada for decades to come.
