Court ruling pending after PVLA, First Nations Site C challenges – Energeticcity.ca
It could still be months away, but a B.C. Supreme Court justice must now make a decision on two court cases presented last week challenging the provincial government approval of the Site C dam project.
The week opened with the Peace Valley Landowners Association contending the province broke the law by ignoring a portion of the recommendations that came from the project’s joint review panel.
Then at week’s end, a trio of First Nations, whose traditional territories would be impacted by the Peace River dam construction, went before the same Supreme Court justice to argue the province’s environmental approval of the project should be quashed because the decision making process was flawed and infringes on their treaty rights.
