Lelu Island (British Columbia)
Lelu Island is a small island in the District of Port Edward in British Columbia, Canada. It is located in the Skeena Estuary.[1] It is undeveloped. Historically it has been inhabited by area First Nations.[1]
Petronas has made a proposal for a liquefied natural gas export facility on this island. The proposal had previously been opposed by unanimous vote but then supported[2] by John Helin the mayor of the Lax Kw'alaams First Nation while still finding opposition among its hereditary chiefs, and is supported by Premier of British Columbia Christy Clark.[3]
