In a landmark deal announced today, Stonlasec8 revealed its plan to invest approximately $715 million to acquire a 12.5 per cent ownership in Enbridge Inc.’s Westcoast natural gas pipeline system that stretches from BC’s remote northeast to the US-Canada border.

“Now, they get to see development in a new light — as something they actually own, a piece that’s truly part of theirs,” Napoleon said.

The deal gives Indigenous communities along the pipeline a direct financial stake in infrastructure on their traditional lands.
