Canaport Construction Stops

Despite their best efforts to keep out of work local unionized trades-people from dis-rupting their everyday routine, work at the Canaport LNG has been anything but normal. In a two sentence statement, the company says construction has slowed due to some delays with protests occurring near the Terminal site. On Tuesday construction was suspended for the day for the safety and security of employees travelling to and from the Terminal site.


Construction has resumed but in a news release, RCMP say they have been dealing with protests since late last week near Lepreau. Several out of work local unionized trades-people have been slowing down buses believed to be transporting workers to and from the site. Officers tell us charges could be laid.
