Coastal GasLink and Cedar Link project updates
Cedar Link Construction Update
To support Cedar LNG – the world’s first Indigenous-majority-owned LNG project – Coastal GasLink is implementing the Cedar Link Project: a 0.4 km lateral pipeline which will deliver natural gas from Coastal GasLink to a connection to Cedar LNG. Cedar Link will enable delivery of up to 0.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas from Coastal GasLink to Cedar LNGs proposed floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Kitimat, BC, brought together by the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation.
To support this incremental volume on the Coastal GasLink system, as well as LNG Canada’s current and future operational needs once delivery to the Cedar LNG Plant begins, Coastal GasLink will also add a new meter station and a new compressor station to CGL as part of this Project.
The role of compressor stations
As natural gas flows along a pipeline, it slows due to friction with the pipe, resulting in a drop in pressure. To keep the gas flowing at a required rate, it is re-pressurized at locations along the pipeline. This is done by mechanically compressing the gas at sites connected to the pipeline, known as compressor stations. The Mount Bracey Compressor Station is located about 198 kilometres northeast of Prince George. It will power the transportation of an additional 0.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas to Cedar LNG.

Coastal GasLink post-construction activities nearing completion
With mechanical completion of Coastal GasLink Phase 1 achieved in November 2023, we continue to focus on safe and reliable operations of the pipeline system. The final post-construction activities are nearly complete.
Remaining work for 2025:
- Site reclamation at Huckleberry Lodge is expected to be completed by September 2025.
- Standard maintenance work will be conducted across all project sections.
- Monitoring of the right-of-way for effectiveness of Erosion and Sediment Control continues.

Indigenous monitoring programs at Mount Bracey
The successful Community Workforce Accommodation Advisor and Construction Monitor and Community Liaison programs introduced during construction of Coastal GasLink have continued in support of Cedar Link construction.
The CWAA Program provides opportunities for Indigenous participation at the Mount Bracey workforce accommodation, within the Traditional Territory.
CMCL’s play an integral role in the Project by monitoring construction activities. In 2025, the six Treaty 8 CMCL Advisors have been monitoring the work occurring at Mount Bracey Compressor Station.
