Beginning on May 20, for approximately two evenings, crews will be applying a layer of dust suppressant to Mamquam Forest Service Road (FSR), Stawamus Indian FSR and a small portion of Powerhouse Springs Road. This work will start at approximately 7 p.m. and traffic control will be in place to direct single lane alternating traffic as the product dries following application.Please note dust suppressant applications are weather dependent and may be delayed if it rains. We appreciate the community’s patience as we safely work to complete these activities.

We are advancing construction of our natural gas pipeline along Finch Drive and Industrial Way in Squamish.Starting the week of May 25, crews begin building two construction pits on Finch Drive, to support the upcoming trenchless construction. The pits will be located between Highway 99 and Loggers Lane and Hummingbird Lane and Raven Drive.This will involve installing steel walls known as sheet piling for approximately six weeks.This work will take place 24/7, but most activities will generally take place between 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, as well as Saturdays and Sundays 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.Nearby residents may notice increased noise in the area.Once the construction pits are complete, we anticipate beginning the next phase of trenchless construction along Finch Drive in July. We will continue to provide more details as work progresses.We appreciate the community’s patience as we safely work to complete these activities.If you have any questions about this work, we encourage you to reach out to the FortisBC team at [email protected] or 1-855-380-5784.

FortisBC continues to advance work on the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project. Construction has reached a phase where the southern worksite is no longer accessible by road. As a result, workers must be transported by boat and helicopter to access these remote areas.To support this work, FortisBC and its pipeline construction contractor have contracted Helijet to provide air transportation services for a small portion of the crew. Currently, Helijet is operating approximately 18 round-trips daily, with trips in the morning and evening between Vancouver and the Stawamus Indian River Valley. Workers are expected to be transported to remote worksites until October 2026.FortisBC, its pipeline contractor, and Helijet are working to reduce impacts to local communities. Multiple flight paths have been developed using existing flight corridors. Helijet is making efforts to route flights away from more densely populated areas, when feasible and safe to do so, in coordination with air traffic control requirements. Opportunities to further refine flight paths are continually being assessed.All flights meet Transport Canada and NAV CANADA regulations.Thank you for your patience, as we complete this work safely, and as quickly as possible.If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to the FortisBC team at [email protected] or 1-855-380-5784.
