Podcasts about Kitimat

The Nechako River was one of the main tributaries of the Fraser until the Kenney Dam was built in the 1950s. The dam diverted most of the river's flow to power Rio Tinto Alcan's aluminum smelter in Kitimat, severely impacting the lives of the local Stellat'en and Saik'uz Nations. Nechako is a new film that documents years of resistance by the two Nations, including a groundbreaking legal proceeding against the Canadian government and Rio Tinto Alcan that continues to this day. We speak with writer and director Lyana Patrick of the Stellat'en First Nation.

This week, our guest is François Poirier, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Energy. While he is based in Calgary, François joined us from Houston, where he attended the CERAWeek Conference. TC Energy has one of North America's largest energy infrastructure portfolios, including natural gas pipelines and electricity generation assets in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked François Poirier: What are some of the top themes at CERAWeek, including the discussion on the infrastructure panel you spoke at? Do you expect the US will build pipelines and other large energy projects faster with President Trump's emergency orders and fast-tracking? What is your outlook for North American natural gas demand, considering the proliferation of plans to build new AI data centres? President Trump would like to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline; what are your thoughts on that project? Is there an opportunity to move more natural gas between Western Canada and Eastern Canada over Canadian territory using the TC Mainline? Do you see the potential to revive the Energy East pipeline? What did you learn from completing the Coastal Gas Link pipeline which connects natural gas from Northeast British Columbia to Canada's west coast at Kitimat, and how did it compare to your recent project of building a natural gas pipeline in Mexico? Could you envision TC Energy investing in another LNG feed gas pipeline in Canada, and what would need to change for you to make this investment? How urgent is it for Canada to start taking action to accelerate LNG projects, considering competition from Alaska, Mexico, and other foreign suppliers?Content referenced in this podcast:Wall Street Journal Opinion Piece “How to Make North American Energy Great Again” (Feb 3, 2005)TC Energy's Mexico pipeline project ($4.5 billion of investment)TC Energy's Coastal GasLink Project in Canada Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify 

This week, our guest is Mark Fitzgerald, President and CEO of PETRONAS Canada, which owns a 25% stake in LNG Canada. LNG Canada will be Canada's first major LNG export terminal and is expected to start shipping Canadian natural gas to global markets from Kitimat, British Columbia, later this year. PETRONAS is one of the largest LNG operators in the world and has a key position in the Montney, Canada's leading and world-class shale gas play.Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Mark: What is the economic impact of LNG Canada Phase 1? How does the Montney compare to other natural gas plays globally? Can Canadian LNG compete with other global suppliers to Asia? How does the carbon emissions intensity of Canadian LNG compare to other suppliers? How would you describe the risk of investing in a Canadian LNG export terminal, compared with other countries where PETRONAS invests? Investment in Canadian LNG has been less than expected compared to a decade ago; what needs to change for Canada to attract new capital for building LNG export facilities? In your view, did BC Premier David Eby's announcement to fast-track 18 projects help address any barriers to investment? Does BC still require LNG facilities to be net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and does any other country require this? Are there any updates on the potential for a final investment decision (FID) on LNG Canada Phase 2?Content referenced in this podcast:338Canada  – Canadian Federal Election PollingPlease review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

On June 25th, 2024, Cedar LNG announced a positive final investment decision (FID) for a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.3 million tonnes per annum (~0.4 Bcf/d) located in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation, near Kitimat, British Columbia, on Canada's west coast. Commercial operation is expected by 2028, and the project will use the existing Coastal GasLink pipeline (also serving LNG Canada) to deliver natural gas from the production fields in British Columbia and Alberta. The project has an estimated cost of US$4 billion and will be majority-owned by the Haisla Nation. Their partner is Pembina Pipeline Corporation.This week, our guests are Crystal Smith, Chief Councillor of the Haisla Nation, and Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pembina Pipeline Corporation. They explain the project, the community support, the financing, the environmental review process, and, importantly, what this project means for the Haisla Nation's economic future.Other content referenced in this podcast:Cedar LNG Announces Positive Final Investment Decision (June 25, 2024), scroll down to play the videoSee all videos about the project, including hearing from members of the Haisla Nation: Media Kit - Cedar LNGNational Bank paper making a case for a global GHG reduction from growing Canadian LNG Exports: “Canada Has a Vital Role in Deleveraging the Global Environmental Balance Sheet,” February 2024Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/  Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify 

My guest this week is Irwin Jeffrey, CHP-BC candidate for the provincial electoral district of Skeena. He and I are representing the pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom cause in the BC provincial election campaign that ends this Saturday, October 19 (Final Voting Day). Irwin and I compare notes on the social values of BC voters as they grapple with such issues as Bill 36, carbon taxes, rebuilding the healthcare system destroyed by the NDP, SOGI in the classrooms and the life-and-death issues of abortion, doctor-assisted suicide (MAiD) and the epidemic of gender confusion leading to irreversible gender surgeries. We talk about the desperation of folks who want the NDP out but who hesitate to vote for the candidate or party they really want due to ‘strategic' voting and peer pressure. Voters in Skeena who wish to communicate with Irwin or who wish to e-transfer to his campaign (Saturday, Oct 19 is the last day to contribute), may do so at: irjeff.chp@gmail.com If making a contribution, you MUST include your full name and address, your phone number and email.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor Warren Frey looks back at 2023 and forward to 2024 through an economic lens with ConstructConnect chief economist Alex Carrick and senior economist Michael Guckes.  Chief amongst the big construction stories of 2023, Carrick said, is the increased number of megaprojects underway in both the United States and Canada, as well as an intense push to electrification of infrastructure on both sides of the border. However he cautioned that in order for this change to happen, the number of electric vehicles has to increase. There will be bumps along the way, Carrick said, but eventually this transition will occur. Guckes pointed to a weakening commercial and residential market in 2023, but said the movement of manufacturing back to the United States along with new construction opportunities including increased military spending as geopolitics around the world continues to fluctuate. Carrick said the biggest economic story in 2024 will be a decline in interest rates, resulting in more people looking to buy property and invest in businesses, and pointed to Canadian population growth as also impactful to the economy. He also said several new megaprojects such as the LNG facility in Kitimat and the completion of the Trans Mountain project will positively impact Canada's GDP. Guckes echoed that Canada, once these new projects are online, will be a viable alternative to Russian gas and other energy providers, and said in the United States water and sewage project while not glamourous have big implications for the construction industry. Both economists also agreed that an increasing use of data centers will mean further construction projects.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with ConstructConnect chief economist Alex Carrick and senior economist Michael Guckes about recent strike actions and the ongoing labour crunch affecting Canada and the United States. Michael cited a recent report from the National Federation of Independent Business which cites the need for labour as the number one concern for small businesses across the United States, and Alex pointed to increased immigration as one possible safety valve for the Canadian labour crunch with the caveat that more new arrivals to Canada means a need for more housing, infrastructure and services. Warren also looks into the latest headlines on the Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce, including a crane collapse in New York, a major cabinet shuffle for Justin Trudeau's liberal government and a big win for staff at an LNG Canada worker lodge in Kitimat, B.C. with an up to 40 per cent rise in pay.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast, Journal of Commerce staff writer Evan Saunders speaks with Independent Contractors and Businesses Association president Chris Gardner about the ongoing strike at the Port of Vancouver and the consequences for both national and local supply chains and for the Lower Mainland's construction industry. Gardner detailed how supply chain disruption will delay projects and emphasized the national implications of the port strike action, comparing the effects of the 2021 floods and how that temporary shutdown of the port led to action to restore access compared with  stalled negotiations and lack of government action regarding the current circumstances.   Digital media editor Warren Frey also spoke with news editor Lindsey Cole for this episode's news segment, including a story about skyrocketing costs to rescue a micro-tunneling boring machine which is stuck under Old Mill Drive in Toronto. Lindsey also speaks to a recent article about Jamie McMillan of KickAss Careers who is expanding her trade advocacy with the Made in the Trades brand to better educate corporate audiences on the value and importance of trades careers.   Warren also gives some background on the Port of Vancouver strike, which began on July 1 and involves close to 7,400 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada walking off the job. Key issues include jurisdiction over maintenance work at terminals as well as improved wages, automation concerns and language to prevent contracting out.

This week Chief Neil Dubord is joined by Laurie White. Laurie graduated from the RCMP training academy, ‘depot', in 1996 and was posted to Kitimat, B.C.   Less than three years into her career she was shot in the leg while executing a search warrant at the home of a sex offender. Laurie shares her incredible story of losing her leg, her physical and mental recovery and her heroic return to work as the first police officer in Canada to return to full, unrestricted policing duties, with an artificial leg.   Laurie and Chief Dubord discuss how the injury sent her to a dark place mentally, and how she struggled with constantly being told ‘you are lucky to be alive', while at the same time feeling incredibly angry.   Laurie went on to have a full career and write a book about her experience after her retirement in 2020.

In this episode I connect with a retired Sgt. Laurie White who served in the RCMP from 1996 - 2020. Laurie, in 1998, while executing a Search Warrant in Kitimat, BC was shot in the leg. Laurie recalls the incredible pain and suffering that came from that moment. Laurie later had to come to terms with the loss of her leg as it could not be saved despite the best efforts of surgeons in Vancouver. Laurie then unwilling to resign from active police work began to fight to keep her job as an active duty RCMP member. Laurie would have to go through all of the benchmarks she had previously passed; however, now with a prosthetic leg. The physical and psychological toll of this event later contributed to Laurie developing and being diagnosed with PTSD. Laurie knew prior to being diagnosed that something was not quite right but continued to persevere and be resilient throughout her career with the Mounties. Once diagnosed with PTSD Laurie began to seek active therapy with her mental health providers and support team. Despite the intensity of having to revisit past traumatic events and process unresolved trauma, all while being a new mother, Laurie continued to show that her indomitable spirit would never fail her. In later years Laurie began to realize that her time was finally coming to a close with the RCMP. She also discusses how difficult it was to leave and how this later assisted her in her continued PTSD recovery. Laurie, in this next chapter of life, is an accomplished author and has written a published book "10-33: An Officer Down Steps Back Up" which details her experience. Laurie also enjoys public speaking and is proud to continue to share her story in hopes of helping someone in need. A conversation that covers much ground, Laurie has proven herself repeatedly in life. The struggles in life can often be profound. The limitations both physical and psychological that can come from the "cost of service" are often unspoken by our First Responders; however, in this episode we dive deep into what that world can look like. Thank you for listening and your support! Please consider supporting Laurie.

In this episode, Derik Hyatt chats with Norm Hann about his passion for oceans, coastlines, and the powerful connection between people and the environment.  After a university basketball and high school teaching career in Sudbury, Ontario, Norm made the decision to travel west to enroll; in a wilderness guide training program in Vancouver. Upon completion he was hired as an adventure guide in the Great Bear Rainforest on the north coast of British Columbia.  In 2006, he was given the ultimate coastal honour of being adopted by Eva Hill into the Raven Clan and given the name T'aam Laan meaning “Steersman of the Canoe.” In 2008, Norm discovered stand up paddleboarding and with almost a decade of guiding experience under his belt in the Great Bear Rainforest, Norm Hann Expeditions was born.  Shortly after the first couple of sup trips to the Great Bear, the real threat of oil tankers traveling through the area began to take shape in the form of the Northern Gateway Project.  Norm decided to paddle the proposed tanker route. The route was from Kitimat 400km south to Bella Bella. The expedition was called Standup4Greatbear and to inform everyone of what was at risk. Standup4Greatbear Society continues to promote the education, awareness, and protection of the Great Bear Rainforest and the Great Bear Sea, through conservation expeditions, featured talks and presentations.  In 2012, Norm was contacted by acclaimed filmmaker Anthony Bonello to bring the story of the threat to the coast to a larger audience. Shortly after recruiting talented photographer Nicolas Teichrob, the Stand film project began. The film highlights Norm's 350km expedition along the coast of Haida Gwaii, the Heiltsuk students of Bella Bella building their own wooden cedar paddleboards, along with the surfing and coastal connection of waterman and Tofino local Raphael Bruhwiler.  Norm believes that as paddlers we have a responsibility to stand up for these places that give us so much and to protect these areas for future generations.  Norm Hann Expeditions can connect you with powerful environments so that you can build your own personal connections and experience the things in life that matter the most.

Like many rural living youth, he played all the sports that were available to him. He feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate and understands that this is not the case for all youth in Canada, especially nowadays.

Author, funny woman and busy person Eden Robinson calls into the Cavern from Kitimat, British Columbia to talk nail polish, carting around family in a big car and the gift that menopause gives you. Eden's books include Traplines, the Giller-nominated Son Of A Trickster, and Blood Sports. Her trilogy, the Trickster series, is becoming a miniseries for CBC and her novel, Monkey Beach, is becoming a film. “If you need stories, take the bus.” Our favourite moments: “Dad had Parkinson's. He found that seal fat was very helpful. The cousins who hunted - in the beginning, they would bring us neat little packets of seal...but towards the end, they were just leaving, like, half a seal in a bucket.  [5:40] “He was always embarrassed that I wasn't a lady. And I was always like, 'You taught me to buck wood and change oil. I don't remember any tea parties.'" [7:00] “I find [that] if I try to write to an outline or if I write to a plan, my muse gets inhibited.” [14:14] “I was realizing how few years I have left if I'm writing a book about every five years. Okay, there are books I won't be able to write.” [21:30] "I also don't have a lot of anxiety about what people think about me. I remember being very concerned about that. And them menopause just wipes that out.” [22:40] CREDITS: Cavern of Secrets is hosted by Lauren Mitchell. Produced by Ellen Payne Smith & Katie Jensen, with assistance from Vicky Mochama and Sarah Daniel. 

Alex is joined with Dan McTeague Petroleum/Energy Analyst, and former MP for the Ontario Pickering to discuss B.C. the $40-billion construction of a huge liquefied natural gas project near Kitimat.
