Some Mi kmaq say the plan to build a liquified natural gas plant in rural Nova Scotia which would require a 5,000-person workcamp poses an unacceptable risk to women s safety and should be stopped.
Ducie Howe is among them.
The Mi kmaw activist and water protector from Sipekne katik First Nation said she does not support the proposed $13-billion Goldboro LNG plant on Nova Scotia s eastern shore, and she wants Mi kmaw chiefs to withdraw from a deal to service the workcamp.

The $10-billion LNG project would require a section of highway to be moved.(The Canadian Press)
The proposed road to a liquefied natural gas project on Nova Scotia s Eastern Shore is paved with conflicting opinions about whether the highway change and the $10-billion development it is a part of should even go ahead.
Pieridae Energy received environmental approval in 2014 to build a natural gas liquefaction plant at Goldboro, a tanker terminal, marine facilities and power plant.
For the project to proceed, the company needs to move a 3.5-kilometre section of Highway 316, a secondary highway that hugs the coastline. The proposed realignment would divert vehicles inland and around the proposed LNG facility.
