What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Province of British Columbia issued an environmental assessment certificate on September 21, 2026, allowing FortisBC to expand its existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on Tilbury Island in the lower Fraser River in Delta. The certificate, which is required for the project to proceed, outlines 18 legally binding conditions regarding air-quality controls, wildlife protection, and greenhouse-gas reduction measures. The decision was made after considering the Environmental Assessment Office’s assessment report and various stakeholder input.
