Coastal GasLink says it expects construction on a natural gas pipeline to resume this week, after the company was served an eviction notice from a B.C. First Nation.

Hereditary chiefs of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation say in a letter that the company's workers are trespassing on unceded traditional territory.

A spokesperson for an Indigenous group confirmed workers and contractors complied with the notice peacefully Saturday night.

On December 31st, the BC Supreme Court granted the company an injunction against members of First Nation and others who oppose the pipeline.
