Survey period still open to share thoughts on proposed KSI Lisims LNG

The summer of consultation by the Nisga'a Lisims Government towards their proposed KSI Lisims LNG project continues towards the end of this month with an online survey still available for members of the Nation to participate in, as well as others in the region.
