Guest column: ‘We need to find a way forward together’
Our Karen Ogen-Toews in The Province: ‘There’s usually something missing in the debate, something critical, and that’s the people of the First Nations communities.’
Our Alliance’s wise words
Karen Ogen-Toews, Chief Crystal Smith (and a Haisla member named Crystal A. Smith) have wise words on LNG. See our latest newsletter:
The First Nations LNG Alliance is a collective of First Nations who are participating in, and supportive of, sustainable and responsible LNG development in BC.
The Alliance is working to:
- Increase positive LNG dialogue in First Nations communities
- Communicate First Nations messages directly to First Nations audiences
- Communicate balanced LNG information
- Provide a venue for pro-development nations to interact, share knowledge and resources
- Discuss environmental issues and priorities
Ultimately, the Alliance has been formed to provide education and information to nations around our province as they consider economic and resource development opportunities when it concerns LNG projects in their territories.
To act as an advocate on behalf of First Nations. In order to do this we provide research and in-depth insight into the many issues and concerns surrounding LNG development in BC. We also seek to connect people with resources, information, support and materials to inform themselves and their members.
