LNG Canada周二确认了计划中的LNG终端扩建项目，此举可能使该北部沿海设施向海外市场出口的液化天然气量翻倍，该设施去年已向亚洲市场发出首批LNG货物。
LNG Canada confirmed the planned LNG terminal expansion Tuesday, a move that could double exports of liquefied natural gas from the northern coastal facility to overseas markets, with its first cargo load of LNG shipped to Asian markets last year.
这项数十亿加元的出口工厂扩建项目预计将在高峰期创造多达4000个建筑岗位，以及约90个新的长期职位。
The multibillion-dollar export plant expansion is projected to create up to 4,000 construction jobs at its peak, along with about 90 new permanent positions.

加拿大的清洁LNG推销——为何并非人人买账 7月28日 时长基蒂马特商会表示，新工人将在该镇消费，根据2022年数据，该镇人口仅略超8600人，而当地企业正寻求直接从项目支出中获益。
Canada’s clean LNG pitch — and why not everyone is buying it July 28 Duration The Kitimat Chamber of Commerce says new workers will spend dollars in the town, which had a population of just over 8,600 people as of 2022, while local businesses are looking to directly benefit from project spending.
商会主席Paul LeBlanc表示：“一直在与LNG Canada沟通，确保他们利用本地企业采购所需物资。”
"There's been conversations with LNG Canada about ensuring they do utilize the local businesses for procuring their stuff," said chamber of commerce president Paul LeBlanc.
据Westward Shipping的Anurag Vinayak称，该项目也有机会提振基蒂马特新兴的海事产业。
The project also has the opportunity to boost the emerging maritime industry in Kitimat, according to Anurag Vinayak with Westward Shipping.
他表示，一期项目“让基蒂马特登上了海运版图和全球能源版图。”他补充道，二期项目完成后，每年将有约450艘船只通过该港口，这意味着需要更多的海运基础设施和支持服务。“这是当地人介入的黄金机遇之一，”他说。
He said Phase 1 of the project "got Kitimat onto the marine map and the global energy map." The completion of Phase 2 will see some 450 ships passing through the port every year, meaning the need for more marine infrastructure and support services, he added. "And that is one of the golden opportunities for locals to get into," he said.

她表示，除了给民族带来直接经济利益外，该项目还将为原住民创造“有意义的就业，希望能发展成终身职业”。
She said along with the direct financial benefits to the nation, the project will create "meaningful employment which will hopefully go to lifelong careers" for First Nations people.
但她指出，项目一期的一个关键教训是，需要更多资源在当地培养熟练技工，无论是现在还是未来。
But she said a key lesson of the project's first phase was the need for more resources to develop skilled trades locally, both now and into the future.
她说：“我们许多社区不得不依赖前往大城市，才能获得那些有意义的培训机会。进入二期，这必须成为重点。” 呼吁增加培训 多方利益相关者均表达了这一担忧，并呼吁上级政府提供资金，帮助社区应对下一波增长。
"A lot of our communities have to rely on coming to major metro areas in order to gain [those] meaningful training opportunities," she said. "That needs to be a focus going into Phase 2." Call for more training That concern was echoed by multiple stakeholders, as was a call for funding from senior levels of government help the community handle the next wave of growth.

他说：“现在我们希望联邦和省政府能像一期那样表示支持，协助我们解决一些基础设施和住房需求，以便吸引所有高技能劳动力及其家庭。”
"Now we are looking hopefully for federal and provincial governments to show their support, as they did in Phase 1, by assisting us with some of our infrastructure and housing needs so we can attract all the highly skilled workforce and their families," he said.
LeBlanc表示，这种遗产投资对于确保搬到基蒂马特的熟练工人长期留下来至关重要。
LeBlanc said that kind of legacy investment will be critical in ensuring that skilled workers who move to Kitimat say for the long term.
他说：“这样，在15年、20年甚至40年后，当天然气枯竭时，这将是LNG Canada留给基蒂马特的遗产。”
"So that in 15 or 20 years or maybe 40 years, when the gas is all dried up, this is what LNG Canada left for Kitimat," he said.
