Long before construction began, the Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project made collaboration and community feedback a priority. That feedback has helped improve the overall design of the project, and drove the development of the programs put in place during construction and operation to protect Indigenous culture and values along with the environment, including the Construction Monitoring and Community Liaison Program (CMCL).

On October 13, Bert Church High School and George McDougall High School in Airdrie, AB, planted a time capsule to commemorate their partnership with NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) in the City of Airdrie.
