Joint Statement of Haisla Nation and District of Kitimat
November 26, 2025 – Haisla Traditional Territory, British Columbia
Yesterday afternoon, Haisla Nation and District of Kitimat met with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss sustainable energy development in Canada, specifically the role Haisla Nation traditional territory has, and will continue to play in securing prosperity for Indigenous Peoples, British Columbians, and Canadians.
Haisla Nation and the District of Kitimat have been at the forefront of establishing Canada as a sustainable, natural resource superpower, including supporting the development of Canada’s first pipeline to tidewater in more than 70 years. Together, our communities have proven with Rio Tinto, LNG Canada, Cedar LNG and Coastal GasLink that we can do big things for Canada.
Haisla Nation and the District of Kitimat are focused on leading sustainable, nation-building developments that are aligned with our shared community values of respect, collaboration, environmental protection and Indigenous leadership. We invite partners to develop new projects with us that respect our values and the role we have played to date in supporting the greater Canadian economy.
Over a decade ago the community of Kitimat voted to oppose the Northern Gateway project. The Haisla Nation, who were firmly against that proposal at that time, still maintain that same position today regarding an oil pipeline and export facility in their territory. This position was articulated clearly to Premier Smith during the meeting.
Haisla Nation and District of Kitimat look forward to working with government at all levels, industry, neighbouring Nations and partners to support economic development and diversification in the Kitimat region, for the benefit of all Canadians, in alignment with federal commitments to Indigenous reconciliation and our values.

Attention Haisla Community Members:
Thanks to the generous support of Haisla NorthPac Forestry Joint Venture, as of November 10, 2025, ten loads of logs have been delivered to the MK Bay Reserve Lands area. Currently, cutting and delivering logs is not feasible to Haisla community members. For now, the wood is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is exclusively for Haisla Band Members. Please take only what you need and leave some for others.
Additionally, some logs are set aside for a Haisla Cultural Project; these areas will be clearly roped off and marked with signage. Please refrain from taking anything from this designated area.
Signage will be prominently displayed at the location:
Community Firewood for Haisla Band Members Only:
Cut at your own risk.
Please wear eye protection and gloves.
Be cautious of unstable logs that may shift or roll.
Take only what you need; commercial resale is strictly prohibited.
Safety Notice: There is inherent danger in cutting firewood, even when gathered in one location. Please exercise extreme caution while cutting on-site.
If you observe any suspicious activity around the wood piles, kindly reach out to Brent Robinson at (250) 639-0559 or via email at BRobinson@haisla.ca. Helpful information to provide would be the vehicle information (colour/make/model) and license plate number.
