New guidelines for vessels travelling between Kitimat and an opening to the Hecate Straight, just south of Kitkatla, aim to improve safety and decrease conflict between First Nation communities, coastal communities and commercial ships, Omar Alghabra
The North Coast Waterway Management Guidelines came into effect Sept. 1, after three years of planning by the two First Nations and the federal government.
Furthermore, in specific regions, called First Nations Areas of Concern, ships have to make sure local users can travel without concern for their safety. “Being able to travel and harvest our marine resources safely is paramount to our people and our culture. We look forward to continue working with Gitxaala, Canada and our other partners to implement these new guidelines,” Arnold Clifton, chief councillor of Gitga’at First Nation said.
The Canadian government sees this project as a “Canadian success story” due to its ability to bring together Indigenous communities, the government and key stakeholders, Transport Canada said.
