→03Five First Nations gain an economic interest in Coastal GasLink as LNG expansion advances
TC Energy announced on October 13, 2026 that it closed an agreement with FN CGL Pipeline Limited Partnership, representing five British Columbia First Nations, granting an economic interest in the entity that holds TC Energy's limited-partner interest in the Coastal GasLink pipeline. A separate Phase 2 expansion, announced September 29 after an LNG Canada investment decision, is expected to nearly double the system's current 2.1 Bcf/d capacity. These are distinct developments. The investment creates long-term Indigenous economic participation while the expansion may support contracting and gas development across northeastern B.C. Potential benefits to Grande Prairie and the Peace Region remain indirect and unconfirmed.

→Canada's beef price surge: What it means for ranchers, rural land and the Peace Region
ATB Economics reports that Canadian grocery food prices have risen 29% over five years, while beef prices have risen 61%. Drought-driven herd reductions, costly replacement cattle and processing bottlenecks help explain the difference. For the Peace Region, the more important real estate question is how cattle margins, financing costs and herd rebuilding influence demand for pasture, hay land and agricultural services.
