Working towards social and ecological sustainability in Northwest British Columbia since 1996
The Northwest Insitute has produced a number of publications about Liquefied Natural Gas proposals in BC including a fact sheet, an analysis of greenhouse gas emissions, an up-to-date table of proposals and a request for a Strategic Environmental and Economic Assessement of BC LNG proposals.

Northwest British Columbia is a vast, sparsely populated region where rural communities and small cities co-exist with intact wilderness ecosystems. It is the home to numerous First Nations, none of whom have ceded their terrritories to the crown. Three major wild salmon rivers -- the Nass, Skeena and Stikine -- flow through the region to the Pacific Ocean. The region’s abundant natural resources have led to a series of large-scale industrial proposals over the decades, including salmon farms, pulp mills, mines, hydro projects and oil and gas pipelines.
