B.C. premier says it's not him blocking Alberta oil pipeline, it's lack of money, backer
British Columbia Premier David Eby says it's not him standing in the way of Alberta counterpart Danielle Smith's longed-for oil pipeline from Alberta to B.C.'s north coast — it's that there's no proponent, no money and 'no project right now.' Article content It's Eby's latest rebuff to the idea, coming after Smith said on Sunday she could convince him to allow such a pipeline. Article content Article content Article content Eby says that if Smith succeeds in finding a proponent and funding, and assembles a project, then B.C. 'will certainly cross that bridge.' Article content But he says there are already 'countless projects' that B.C. could work on with Alberta to create prosperity in Western Canada. Article content Eby was speaking at a news conference on Monday from Seoul, South Korea, the final stop on a 10-day trade tour through Asia that has also included Japan and Malaysia. Article content Asked about B.C.'s green light last week for a Prince Rupert gas pipeline, Eby said the province was not 'in the business of turning away investments' — but wouldn't speculate whether that applied to an oil pipeline from Alberta. Article content Eby added that he understands Smith is 'keen' on such a project, just as Ontario Premier Doug Ford is 'keen on tunnel underneath the 401.' Article content

Construction set to begin on Inuvialuit heritage centre in Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T.
New Saliqmiut will be community meeting space, performance centre and information resource Excitement is building for a new heritage centre in Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T. Construction is set to start next month on Saliqmiut, the Tuktuuyaqtuuq Centre for Arts and Culture. It will serve as a community meeting space, performance centre, and information resource about the culture and traditions of the Inuvialuit from Tuktoyaktuk. Project leaders are eager to provide a place where locals can take pride in their own history and share that with visitors and family members. "It's really important," said Darrel Nasogaluak, who is on the board of directors for the project. "It's not just for tourists and tourism. It's for our current and future generations of Inuvialuit. It will be our building, our place of culture and heritage." The project started before the COVID-19 pandemic but planning was then put on hold until two years ago. It's being funded with help from the federal and territorial governments. Pilings were put into the ground in February. The first phase of the project is a hotel and office space to rent, to create revenue to pay for the second phase which will be the heritage centre. The hotel and office spaces were built in Alberta and are being trucked north this summer. The pieces will be assembled in Tuktoyaktuk in July. Construction of phase one is expected to continue until March 2026. For residents, the chance to showcase the local culture and heritage is something that wasn't always there. Willy Kuptana is one of those who remember a time when the people of the region weren't allowed to celebrate their language, when residential schools were operating. "I'm of an age where we never did have this. It wasn't celebrated until after our final agreement in 1984. That's when it started," said Kuptana. Nasogaluak calls the centre "a dream," and says it will be much more than a museum — a term he is does not like to use when talking about the project. "We don't want to create a museum because when you create a museum, you're always looking at a people that used to be," he said. "We are the Inuvialuit of the I.S.R [Inuvialuit Settlement Region], and we are still here." There is no timeline for when the heritage centre will open.
