Participant funding is a limited fund to help concerned citizens and groups take part in the key stages of the joint panel review process. The GSX Canada Pipeline project, proposed by Georgia Strait Crossing Pipeline Limited, is the Canadian component of a proposal for a new international pipeline, referred to as the Georgia Strait Crossing Project, to transport natural gas from Sumas, Washington to Duncan, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. It is a joint undertaking of BC Hydro and Williams Gas Pipeline Company and is proposed to be in service in October 2003. Georgia Strait Crossing Pipeline Limited has filed an application with the National Energy Board to build and operate the GSX Canada Pipeline. It would extend from a point on the Canada-United States border in Boundary Pass, west of the Strait of Georgia, to an interconnection with the existing Centra Gas British Columbia Inc. pipeline at a point west of Shawinigan Lake, south of Duncan.
