LNG company plans to use 'floatel' near Squamish, B.C., without local permit

The District of Squamish had yet to issue a temporary use permit authorizing the so-called floatel, which has been the subject of debate in council meetings in recent months.

An inspection record from the B.C. assessment office says the liquefied natural gas project carries a requirement that any workers who didn't live in Squamish before Sept. 20, 2023, must live on the floatel unless they've been granted an exemption. Mulligan told councillors on Tuesday that Woodfibre has been ordered to house workers on the floatel in its designated area by 5 p.m. on Friday.

"As to next steps, they remain to be seen, but at this point in time, our position is that this order does not explicitly override the District of Squamish's authority.
