Fortis plans to house 600 WLNG workers in seven-acre site south of Quest University

Staff report
March 22, 2022 12:39pm

FortisBC is proposing to increase the size of its planned temporary workforce lodging site for the Woodfibre Gas Pipeline project. The preferred location for lodging is a previously disturbed site south of Quest University.

Fortis is appearing before council to apply to increase the size of the workforce lodging site from an approved two hectares to seven hectares. The company says it is doing so to to help address community concerns. 

Here are the key details:

Expanding the workforce lodge site to seven hectares, ensuring FortisBC can house approximately 600 non-local workers during peak periods.

Plans to add additional onsite facilities such as lounge, first aid, exercise and recreation areas to reduce worker pressure on community facilities.

FortisBC says it remains committed to hiring locally for the EGP project, wherever possible.

“It is our priority to ensure that the local community has the opportunity to benefit from the project through jobs and material procurement, and to reduce potential pressure on local services from out-of-town workers,” the company said.

Details on site construction and operations are currently in development, as the company is gathering input from local community representatives and Indigenous groups.

Fortis will be holding an information session in Squamish on April 27. Full information session details are available on our project website, talkingenergy.ca/egp. Anyone who cannot make the information session can contact the company at time at 1-855-380-5784 or egp@fortisbc.com.
