Although Fort St. John stands to receive millions should Site C proceed, the city remains neutral on the project. Fort St. John mayor Lori Ackerman says the city has taken a neutral stance on Site C due to the fact it has no power to control its fate. Utilities Commission did not take a clear position on whether Site C should proceed or not.

"One of my girlfriends, a First Nations lady that I've known for many, many years, she finally got a job at the Site C dam and she's loving it."
