Pembina to host open houses for Taylor to Gordondale project

TAYLOR, B.C. — Pembina is holding open house events next month regarding a pipeline project set to connect the North Peace region with a community in Alberta.

The Taylor to Gordondale pipeline project, initially proposed last year by Pembina subsidiary Pouce Coupe Pipe Line, will consist of an 89-kilometre, 16-inch pipeline moving natural gas condensate from Taylor, B.C. to Gordondale, Alberta.

In the months since its initial proposal, the project has drawn support from the City of Fort St. John, and Pembina is currently preparing to host engagement sessions to share more details about it.

According to a letter to council members at the District of Taylor, Pembina is hosting a pair of open house events on November 18th and 19th. The letter was included in the agenda for the October 6th council meeting.

The letter says the events will be “interactive, with no formal agenda or structured presentations,” so participants can ask about whatever parts of the project interest or concern them.

The November 18th open house is happening at the Pomeroy Hotel and Conference Centre in Fort St. John from 4 to 8 p.m., while the event on the 19th is happening at the Delta by Marriott near the Grande Prairie Airport in Alberta from 4 to 8 p.m.

Taylor council was urged to RSVP to the letter by October 28th. 

The letter also states that in April of 2024, Pembina filed an application for the project with the Canadian Energy Regulator. 

It claims the CER is now conducting an assessment and will decide whether a certificate for the project should be issued by December 1st.

It’s currently unclear whether the events will be open to the public. Energeticcity.ca has contacted Pembina for clarification and will update this story with new information as it becomes available.
