This morning, a fire broke out at the Westshore Terminals facility at Roberts Bank. We want to assure the community that emergency crews have the situation under control, and there is no immediate impact to Tsawwassen First Nation or its members.
As your government, we are actively working to gather more information and have been in contact with Global Container Terminals (GCT), the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA), the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), as well as provincial and regional authorities. Our priority is to ensure the safety of our members and monitor any potential risks.
At this time, there are no concerns regarding air quality, and operations in the area remain stable. We will continue to provide updates as more details become available.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Director of Territory Management, Andrew Bak at 604-690-9871 or by email at abak@tsawwassenfirstnation.com
