B.C. Premier John Horgan will be making an announcement on the Site C project in northeast B.C. Friday morning.
The future of the troubled Site C dam in B.C’s northeast is set to be decided Friday morning.
B.C. Premier John Horgan is expected to announce whether construction will continue on the $10-billion project near Fort St. John, or be cancelled.
Horgan’s announcement is scheduled for 11 a.m., and the premier will be joined by Bruce Ralston, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation.
Site C is half-way through construction on the Peace River but is facing a series of structural problems that may dramatically increase its budget.
The dam began under the previous Liberal government, and Horgan chose to continue it in 2017, saying it was already too far built to stop.
Site C is the largest public project in the province’s history.
