Future revenues, potential impact on the mainland moose habitat not clear, some band members say

“I think we need to bring it back to the community,” said First Nation member Dorene Bernard.

Bernard questions transparency around project financing. Sipekne’katik First Nation was one of the big winners in Nova Scotia’s largest-ever wind procurement announced in August.
