• Status: Cancelled
• Start Year: 2020

Background

The proposed pipeline would be operated by Enbridge, and owned by Enbridge and BG Group. The pipeline would have brought natural gas to the proposed Prince Rupert LNG facility. The Prince Rupert LNG facility was canceled in March 2016, resulting in the cancellation of the Westcoast Connector.
