Q&A WITH PREMIER TIM HOUSTON
“
I n North Vancouver, Heather Taylor spends much of her time volunteering to tackle the challenges of affordability and food security. It’s given her a front-row seat to how community needs and energy policy overlap — especially for women. “Women tend to feel economic impacts first. They see the connection between what’s happening in the economy and their daily lives,” said Taylor, senior manager of social performance with Western LNG, a partner in the proposed Ksi Lisims project led by the Nisga’a Nation. More than 80 per cent of engaged women nationwide believe expanding Canada’s energy sector would raise the country’s standard of living, according to a new report by Canada Powered by Women, where Taylor serves on the board. Women all across Canada generally hold very similar opinions on these issues, and they feel strongly about it. ”
