Ohamil Camp Community
The Ohamil Camp Community, located on Ohamil Reserve No. 1, will house approximately 350 people working on the Trans Mountain Expansion Project.
Shxw’ōwhámél, working with their local developer, cleared, graded and developed a 20-acre site as part of a long-term plan by Shxw’ōwhámél for the First Nation community, with the initial use being Trans Mountain’s camp community. In July 2020, Trans Mountain entered into a commercial agreement with Shxw’ōwhámél as a tenant or occupant of the site for use as a turn-key facility for temporary worker accommodation, which is currently planned for December 2020 to October 31, 2023.
We understand the importance of ensuring temporary workers and their accommodation needs are well-managed and are aligned with the community’s interests and capacity. In addition to our Worker Code of Conduct for all TMEP workers, camp community policies and management practices are in place to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all. Trans Mountain will work with the site owners to ensure Trans Mountain policies and expectations will be adhered to during Trans Mountain’s occupancy.
