CALGARY, April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Horizon North Logistics Inc. ("Horizon North" or the "Corporation") (TSX: HNL.TO) provided an update today on the Corporation's liquefied natural gas ("LNG")-related activities, including new camp contracts to support the construction of the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project (the "Coastal GasLink Project") and the expected opening of the Corporation's Crossroads Lodge in Kitimat, British Columbia (the "Lodge").
New Camp Contracts
Pursuant to a Teaming Agreement with Falcon Camp Services Inc. ("Falcon Camp Services"), Horizon North has entered into contracts (the "Camp Contracts") to provide equipment, catering, hospitality and operations services for two camps supporting construction work on the Coastal GasLink Project in northern British Columbia.
The Parsnip and Lejac Camps (the "Camps"), located near MacKenzie, British Columbia and Fraser Lake, British Columbia respectively, will operate over an expected period of 30 months (the "Expected Service Period") beginning in June 2019. The occupancy levels of the Camps will fluctuate over the Expected Service Period based on project needs and construction seasons varying in length from five to eleven months. The Camps will have approximately 350 beds combined at the beginning of the Expected Service Period, with an anticipated peak of approximately 1,900 beds in late 2020.
"These Camp Contracts provide an opportunity for Horizon North to gain valuable exposure to natural gas pipeline construction which will support LNG export facilities on the west coast, while continuing our dedication to strong relationships with Aboriginal communities and businesses," says Rod Graham, President and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon North. "Horizon North has been working with Falcon Camp Services for some time to build a mutually beneficial agreement that will foster employment and investment in the local communities. Falcon Camp Services is a 100 per cent First Nations owned and operated company and we look forward to working with them to provide first-class services to guests at the Camps."
Crossroads Lodge Opening
The first phase of Crossroads Lodge will be opening in mid-Q2 2019 on the Corporation's 57-acre land parcel in Kitimat, British Columbia (the "Crossroads Property"). The Lodge will provide workforce accommodations to support development in the region, including the LNG Canada project, with the first phase including approximately 260 executive style beds. As industrial activity strengthens in the region, the Lodge will grow, with a permitted size of up to 1,000 beds.
"The opening of Crossroads Lodge will mark a significant next step in the development of our LNG strategy. It is the first of several phases of development on our Crossroads Property which will provide world-class services to residents and guests of Kitimat," says Rod Graham, President and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon North. "In addition to the Lodge, the previously-announced 120-room modular Marriott Fairfield Inn & Suites is expected to open in late 2019 as part of 16 acres of commercial development, with the remaining lots being evaluated for office and retail developments. 27 acres of residential development at the Crossroads Property is slated for a full, mixed-use community serving Kitimat and the surrounding regions."
