RAMPING UP: The first large-scale modular components of the under-construction liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility arrived at the Woodfibre LNG site for installation on Saturday. All told, 19 modules are set to arrive at the site throughout the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, the company said in a news release. The modules will range in size from a 126-tonne pipe rack to an almost 11,000-tonne liquefaction unit that covers roughly the same amount of space as a football field.
he District of Squamish council has endorsed a community plan to make the town more age-friendly. Described as a “benefit to the community,” the Age-Friendly Community Plan was unanimously supported by councillors at the May 13 committee of the whole meeting. District equity and inclusion advisor Keely Kidner said that the project had been in the works for the past year. “The Age-Friendly Community Plan is based on the World Health Organization’s framework, and this framework is recognized internationally and used extensively in B.C. and the rest of Canada,” Kidner said. “Age friendly planning is an emerging best practice for supporting aging in the community, and it focuses not on individuals specifically, but on making public spaces and developing policies that ensure seniors are valued and protected, can access everything that they need, and can form an active and welcome part of civic and social life.” AGE FRIENDLY: Continued on 2
