Where Canada’s second round of major projects connects
Canada’s November 2025 Major Projects Office announcement covered six named projects and a regional strategy. The British Columbia entries show how the same transmission line and gas export facility can appear in both a project list and a larger corridor plan.

The Northwest corridor links some of these projects to the wider grid and mining plans.
Transmission serves more than one proposal
BC Hydro’s North Coast proposal would twin parts of the existing transmission system. Ottawa named Ksi Lisims and critical mineral developments as prospective users of the added capacity. Its corridor strategy also named the Red Chris mine expansion, which was referred earlier. Source 1
Ksi Lisims spans several pieces of infrastructure
The proposed floating liquefaction facility received federal and provincial environmental assessment approvals on 15 September 2025. The November referral also included the proposed 800-kilometre Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project and a proposed 95-kilometre power line. The approval date in the announcement refers to the liquefaction facility. Source 1
Three mines, different industrial uses
The announcement identifies tungsten and molybdenum at Sisson, nickel at Crawford and graphite at Matawinie. The Matawinie project links the mine to planned processing for battery material in Bécancour. The Crawford announcement names a proposed refinery through the proponent’s subsidiary as a separate industrial step. Source 2 Source 1
Iqaluit’s project is designed for the local grid
The Inuit-owned developer proposed a hydroelectric facility around 60 kilometres from Iqaluit. Its proposed generating capacity was 15 to 30 megawatts. The federal backgrounder describes the project as a way to reduce the city’s reliance on diesel-generated electricity. Source 1
