Coastal GasLink, like everyone else, looks forward to the day we can be together in person. But since we can鈥檛 meet at coffee shops, community halls, or at local events for now, we鈥檝e developed a safe, innovative and convenient way to stay connected.
Coastal GasLink recently launched its platform and invites everyone to learn more about the 670-kilometre project, and engage with our team from the convenience of their own home.
鈥淥ur commitment to engage with spans the life of the project, and we didn鈥檛 want to let the pandemic stop us from doing that,鈥� said Kiel Giddens, Coastal GasLink鈥檚 Public Affairs Manager for British Columbia.
鈥淭he virtual experience can鈥檛 replace the relationships we鈥檝e built together, but we hope it continues to keep communities informed and connected with us in a way that prioritizes ,鈥� he added.
Visitors to the Virtual Open House will have the flexibility to interact with content, watch videos, explore the project route, and pose questions and comments when it is most convenient to them.
Key features of the platform include an interactive project map, a flyover of the 670-kilometre project route, and 鈥榮tations鈥� where visitors can engage with subject matter experts, much like a regular open house. Information on contracting and , training initiatives, community investments, and current construction progress can also be found on the site.
鈥淭he team at Coastal GasLink have always done an exceptional job of ensuring that the communities along the route of this project are well informed,鈥� shared Mayor Dolores Funk from the Village of 亚洲天堂 Lake. 鈥淭he virtual open house is no exception. I encourage everyone to explore all the information that has been provided here and reach out to Coastal GasLink staff with any questions and concerns you might have.鈥�
Feedback from Indigenous and local communities has been instrumental in helping to shape the project being built today. Visitors to the Virtual Open House can continue to provide Coastal GasLink with feedback, ask questions, or request follow up discussions as part of the project鈥檚 commitment to listen and respond to communities.
鈥淭hanks, Coastal GasLink, for going above and beyond in your efforts to be transparent and accountable!鈥� added Mayor Funk.
