CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATCO announced today, that as operator for its joint-venture partnership with the Haisla First Nation, it has been chosen to provide workforce housing and operational support services for three camps in the Haisla territory in support of construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline in British Columbia. The contract was conditionally awarded by Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. upon a positive final investment decision by the joint-venture partners of LNG Canada, and has a combined value of approximately $40 million.

“We are tremendously proud to support this crucial energy infrastructure project, and to be doing so alongside our valued partners within the Haisla Nation,” said Nancy Southern, Chair & Chief Executive Officer with ATCO. “We look forward to working hand-in-hand with our partners to support major workforce housing projects in the Kitimat region on landmark infrastructure development in the years ahead.”
