The Huu-ay-aht citizen approval is particularly significant because it marks one of the earliest points in project development at which a First Nation community has voted to approve an LNG export facility or pipeline project in British Columbia.
The resounding positive vote means that Huu-ay-aht and Steelhead LNG will move forward with a co-management relationship to develop the proposed facility on Huu-ay-aht owned land in their h?ahuuli (traditional territory), on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
The Sarita LNG facility is in the preliminary engineering and conceptual design stage.
