LTN Environmental Consulting Limited Partnership (LTNE) is an Indigenous-owned partnership between Tano T’enneh Enterprises Ltd., the economic arm of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, and EDI Environmental Dynamics Inc. (EDI) to provide professional environmental consulting services. For more than 25 years, the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation and EDI have developed an effective and mutually beneficial partnership conducting natural resource projects within Lheidli T’enneh Territory. During that time, we have shared human resources and jobs, combining our skills and knowledge to complete an array of natural resource projects. These projects have ranged from fisheries inventories and research projects in the late 1990s, as elements of the Treaty process and forestry operations, to more recent projects including aquatic/terrestrial biology, environmental monitoring and effects assessment in support of proposed and approved projects.

Lhai Ventures was a 100% Indigenous-owned, limited partnership that included the Nechako First Nations (Lheidli T’enneh, Nadleh Whut’en, Saik’uz, and Stellat’en Nations). The traditional territories for these four Nations are located in the region from east of Prince George to Burns Lake.

Lhai Ventures provided environmental services and construction support related to the Coastal GasLink project. Construction sections 3, 4, and 5 of this pipeline project overlap the territories of these four Nations.

EDI was a subcontractor to Lhai Ventures, providing environmental service and management support on the Coastal GasLink project. EDI has continued to partner with the Nechako First Nations on the BC Hydro North Coast Transmission Line project. We look forward to continued partnership with the Nechako First Nations on future opportunities.
