SQUAMISH, B.C. — Plans to use a renovated cruise ship to house more than 600 workers at a liquefied natural gas facility near Squamish, B.C., have been voted down by the local council.
Coun. Lauren Greenlaw told the meeting that she has experienced sexual violence first-hand throughout her career working in the resource industry, and she is troubled about a lack of information and measures to protect the community. Hurford said the floatel's performance over the first year would provide clarity for the renewal discussion, but the motion was rejected.
"Denying this permit is not going to stop the project," he said, adding the floatel is"basically what the community asked for" when it came to housing workers. Woodfibre LNG had been planning for workers to start living on the ship this spring on the shores of Howe Sound, outside Squamish.
