CLINTON, B.C. — A First Nation north of the Village of Clinton has signed a pair of agreements with an energy delivery company that has a proposed pipeline expansion project crossing into its territory.
Llenllenéy’ten (High Bar) First Nation (HBFN) announced it signed a relationship agreement and project benefits agreement with Westcoast Energy Inc. (Enbridge). The agreements were signed on Nov. 27, 2025, but the announcement was made in a news release issued Tuesday (Jan. 6).
HBFN was involved in a Canada Energy Regulator hearing regarding Enbridge’s Sunrise Expansion Project. According to the regulator, the project involves building nearly 137 kilometres of 42-inch diameter natural gas pipeline, with new stretches of pipeline proposed to be built near Williams Lake, south of 100 Mile House and near Savona.
HBFN says the relationship agreement sets a framework for consultation, engagement and information sharing regarding Enbridge’s proposed and ongoing projects while supporting business development, community investment, environmental stewardship and training that benefits its members.
