CARRIER SEKANI TRIBAL COUNCIL (CSTC)

K & A were commissioned by CSTC to write a proposal to Human Resources Services Development Canada (HRSDC) Aboriginal Skills Employment Program to secure 'matched' funding for the development and training of First Nations People to work on two major gas transmission pipeline projects: Pacific Trails Pipeline (PTP) and Kitimat Liquid Natural Gas Export Terminal (KLNG).
K& A' proposal was successful in securing $9 million dollars from HRSDC and an equal amount from the two major Employers: Pacific Trails Pipeline and Kitimat Liquid Natural Gas and the 15 First Nations effected by these projects. K & A also assisted in development in the incorporation of a Non-Profit Organization called Pacific Trails Pipeline Aboriginal Skills Employment Training Society (PTP ASEP), to oversee and manage this $18 Million, 2 ½ year project.
